As a remainder, abstracts for the X Conference of the Italian Association for the History of Economic Thought (AISPE) are due next week (November 1).

Is it possible to develop economic theories maintaining a moral vision of society? Can the "just" and the "good" be combined with the "true"? To what extent is the growth of scientifically analyzable social phenomena compatible with notions acquired by faith? The organizing committee wishes to stimulate reflection on and research into the importance of the various visions of the values, rights and dignity of man in determining the evolution of economic science, both by playing the role of critic and by promoting new concepts or indicating more appropriate research methods.

The X Conference of AISPE will be held on March 27-29, 2008 at Treviso, Italy.

Abstracts (max 500 words) must be submitted by 1 November 2007 to Stefano Solari by e-mail: [log in to unmask]

All information concerning the Conference are posted on the website: http://www.giuri.unipd.it/~AISPE-2008/
