----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- Patinkin Conference Centre Walras-Pareto University of Lausanne, 20-22 September 2001 On the initiative of Pascal Bridel (Universite de Lausanne) and Michel De Vroey (Universite catholique de Louvain), the Centre Walras-Pareto of the University of Lausanne is organising a Conference on Don Patinkin. As the author of Money, Interest and Prices and many other books and articles, Professor Patinkin is one of the most influential post World-War theorists. The organisers' motivation lies in their admiration for Patinkin's work and their perception of the important role he played in the unfolding of modern economic theory. The aim of the conference is to assess Patinkin's role and place in the unfolding of modern economic theory. Time has come for a critical assessment of his work.
