Dear colleagues,
To mark the kick-off of the ERC-funded project, “Energy
Transitions in the History of Economic Thought” (ETRANHET), we
would like to draw your attention to a Zoom webinar that
will take place on March 9, 16:00-17:45 CET (10:00-11:45 EST)
about the role of economic expertise in the history of
energy and environmental issues. The ETRANHET project aims at
contributing to understanding the current energy situation from the
standpoint of the history of economic thought, by examining the role
of economists and of the economic discipline in shaping past
representations of energy (and energy policies), all around the
world (https://www.centre-cired.fr/etranhet/).
This webinar will be introduced by Prof. Christopher F. Jones
(Arizona State University), who will give a talk on his
forthcoming book on “the invention of infinite growth.” Then
we will present the objectives of the ETRANHET project to discuss
collectively the research questions associated with it. Detailed
program available in attachment. Feel free to circulate this email
further in your own network.

Best regards,
