CALL FOR PAPERS
The 7th Annual Conference of the European Society for the History of
Economic Thought (ESHET) will be held at the Carré des Sciences and the
Université of Paris-I, in Paris, during the period January 30 - February 1
2003.
Starting with a lecture in the evening of Thursday January 30, the
Conference will end after the Annual General Meeting to be held on the
afternoon of Saturday February 1. The Conference has both a thematic and an
open part, however, the scientific committee intends to give particular
attention to the propositions related to the thematic part. As announced in
the previous ESHET Newsletter, the theme is: the Economic Agent.
As a matter of fact, the economic agent is a central feature in economics:
Capitalists, Landlords, Labourers and Legislators in Classical and Marxian
economics; Consumers, Producers, Firms, and Representative Agents in
Marginalist and Neoclassical economics.
Some more specific lines of enquiry might be suggested. In particular:
The emergence of the concept of economic agent
The way it is related to various forms of rationality
The connections between economic agents and institutions
Comparative approaches to economic and other types of agents -- political
or sociological agents
Scholars wishing to present a paper are asked to submit a proposal and an
abstract (no more than 1000 words) and full details of their affiliation by
30 September 2002, preferably by e-mail, to the following Conference
