The Twenty-Fourth Conference of the History of Economic Thought Society
of Australia - HETSA 2011 - is being hosted by the School of Economics,
Finance and Marketing in the College of Business at Melbourne’s RMIT
University. 

The Conference will be held 5-8 July 2011 in RMIT’s historic Emily
Macpherson Building.

There will be two major themes in this conference, the first being the
role of the history of economics within economics itself and then,
secondly, a Retrospective and Prospective on Keynes to commemorate the
75th anniversary of the publication of his General Theory in 1936. 

We are very pleased that the distinguished Keynesian scholar and
immediate past President of the European History of Economics
Association, Maria Cristina Marcuzzo, will give the keynote address. 

Papers dealing with any aspect of the history of economic thought are
welcome. Papers that deal with either of the two major themes of the
conference would, however, be particularly welcome. 

Please note that the formal deadline for submission of abstracts is
March 2011. 

Abstracts may be sent to [log in to unmask] 

Registration information will be posted in due course.

If you encounter any problems or have any other questions about the
conference, please feel free to email me at the above website or to

We look forward to seeing you in Melbourne.
