Dear colleagues,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing regarding the next session of my research seminar, "Description, Evaluation and Prescription in Economics and Philosophy"
at the Collège International de Philosophie (Université Paris
Lumières), organized with the support of the Walras-Pareto Center
(Université de Lausanne) and the Université Paris Cité.
The next session of the seminar will take place on Friday, March 17. Harro Maas,
a distinguished historian of economics and Professor at the Centre
Walras-Pareto of the Université de Lausanne, will give a talk entitled "Call them soldiers, call them monks, call them machines": not mental, but moral accounting matters".
Harro has published numerous outstanding books and papers on the
methodological, technological, social and moral aspects of economics and
the history of economic thought. His William Stanley Jevons and the Making of Modern Economics (Cambridge
University Press, 2005) won the Joseph J. Spengler Prize for the best
book in the history of economics, awarded by the History of Economics
Society. His The Making of Experimental Economics: Witness Seminar of the Emergence of a Field (Springer,
2016), coauthored with Andrej Svorencík, won The European Society for
the History of Economic Thought's best book prize in 2018. He is also
the editor of the Historical Perspectives on Modern Economics series at
Cambridge University Press.
Harro's talk, open to all without registration, will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 pm (Paris time) in
salle M019, bâtiment Olympe de Gouges de l’Université Paris Cité, 75013
Paris. You can also attend the seminar using this link: https://unil.zoom.us/j/95709013453
