ASSOCIATION CHARLES GIDE POUR L'ETUDE DE LA PENSEE ECONOMIQUE
KEYNES: PAST AND FUTURE
Universite du Quebec a Montreal
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
June 20-21 2002
Without doubt, the activities and work of John Maynard Keynes dominate not
only the economic thought but also the economic, social and political
developments of the century that has just drawn to a close. Like Marx,
Keynes was one of the few economists who lent his name to an intellectual
current, and even a revolution. After his death, in 1946, Keynes' ideas,
often heavily disguised, became prominent in textbooks and in economic
policy, before being thrown into question by what is now termed
neoliberalism. In the last few years, his ideas have attracted renewed
interest.
It seems appropriate, therefore, to take stock of Keynes' enormous
contribution, which touched upon not only economics but also philosophy and
political thought, and to consider its relevance to the 21st century. We
are thus inviting papers on all aspects of his thought, action and
influence. They may deal with his work in historical context or with its
current utility. It is time to ask: "What remains of Keynes?".
Proposals (of 2 pages maximum) should be sent, by post or, ideally,
electronic mail, to Gilles Dostaler or Nathalie Sigot, no later than
February 6, 2002. The scientific committee will reply during the week of
February 18th. Conference papers (maximum 40,000 characters) should be sent
to discussants and chairmen before May 31, 2002. Further suggestions
concerning the presentation of papers will be given to participants in due
course.
Information on registration fees, accomodation and other logistical aspects
will be provided later. The Universite du Quebec a Montreal (UQAM), where
the conference will take place, is located in the heart of Montreal, at the
intersection of Saint Denis and Saint Catherine streets. June is typically
a pleasant month, weatherwise, and is also a particularly lively time of
the year, with many activities taking place, including Montreal's famous
Jazz Festival.
