Call for participation:

History of theory and practice of Money Doctors

A session on the history of theory and practice of Money Doctors or
Visiting economists (Kemmerer, Bloomfield, Hirschman, Triffin, Currie,
etc.) in small and/or developing countries is being organized to take
place at the annual conference of the History of Economics Society
(June 27-30, 2008, at York University, Toronto, Canada.
http://www.historyofeconomics.org/ ).

The panel will deal with topics such as differences between money
doctoring in colonies or small countries and developed countries
throughout the twentieth century; the relationship between theory and
practice of money doctors; and the importance of money doctors before
and after the creation of the International Monetary Fund and the
World Bank.

Papers are welcome on the biographies, intellectual history, schools
of thought, and monetary and banking theory and practices of the money
doctors, as well as their relations with the American government and
local interest groups.  Related topics will also be considered.  Paper
proposals should include between 300 and 500 words and be submitted by
February 10, 2008.

Participants will include Ana Maria Bianchi on Hirschman, Michele
Alacevich on Bloomfield, and myself on Kemmerer. Roger Sandilands, a
specialist on Currie, will be a discussant.
