Tenth Annual Heilbronn Symposium
in Economics and the Social Sciences
Sunday, June 29, 1997
Heilbronn, Germany
The Tenth Heilbronn Symposium in Economics and the Social
Sciences will be devoted to the work of Karl Bucher (1847-
1930).
SYMPOSIUM BACKGROUND:
Deeply steeped in the tradition of German historical
political economy, Bucher emphasized non-market forms of
exchange, the theory of economic development and the theory
of mass production, even including seemingly extraneous
elements such as music into the realm of his explanatory
endeavor. Fascinated by the institution of the newspaper, he
can also be considered one of the founders of the modern
theory of mass communication.
SYMPOSIUM PURPOSE:
In accordance with the mission of the Heilbronn symposia, the
purpose of this conference is threefold. First, we want to
systematically examine Bucher's work in the light of
contemporary theory. Second, we want to look at his work from
the point of view of current practical needs and challenges.
And thirdly, the conference also serves the purpose of making
this theoretical heritage in political economy available to
the international community of scholars.
SYMPOSIUM LOCATION:
The conference will be held in Heilbronn on Sunday, June 29,
1997. The conference site is the traditional Schiefshaus at
less than five minutes distance from the railroad station. On
Saturday, June 28, at six o'clock, conference participants
will gather in the Hotel Gotz and they will have dinner and
get a chance to get to know each other.
