INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP IN POST KEYNESIAN ECONOMICS 
UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE 
 
June 27 - July 3, 1996 
 
Plans are underway for a Workshop to be held in Knoxville, 
Tennessee to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the publication of 
the General Theory and to acknowledge the 50th Anniversary of the 
death of John Maynard Keynes. As in previous years, the Workshop 
consists of 6 days intensive seminars on a variety of subjects 
related to Post Keynesian economic research. Advanced graduate 
students and young professors are particularly welcomed, as are 
others interested in the policy implications of Post Keynesian 
study. Some of the topics expected to be covered include: 
 
Is an independent central bank necessary or desirable? 
Do we need government regulation of domestic and international 
financial markets? 
How can Keynes' principles be utilized to develop policies to 
develop a smooth transition from a centrally planned to a market 
economy? 
 
What should be the US policy towards current account balances? 
Is it possible to achieve full employment without inflation in an 
entrepreneurial economy? 
Should the federal government pursue a balanced fiscal budget 
annually or over the cycle?
