=================== HES POSTING ====================== [NOTE: The following introduction and query came to me about a month ago, and I misplaced it. My apologies to Sabastian! I remind subscribers that students are welcome on the list, and that the ASK THE PROFESSOR service is available from the History of Economics Services web site for non-subscribers and for questions more specific than the one Sabastian asks here. -- RBE] I'm a new suscriber. My name is Sebastian. I'm from ARGENTINA. At the time, I'm a fourth year student in Economics in Cordoba. This year, I will take both Economic History of Argentina, and the History of Economic Thought. So, is very important for me to comunicate and discuss some topics of interest. I'm already a student, so I can have many mistakes. But, I will try to improve my knowledges by reading and writting e-mails to the list. As you may know, the history of the economy in my country is not as wide as other's as United States, U.K., countries of Europe and so on. I refer to this, because I think that to understand and enjoy economics not only do we need to have a perfect domain on theoric and practical aspects, but also the historical issue. Well, I think that's quite good for a presentation, and the first time that I write. I couldn't say bye, before asking a question. As we all know, Keynesian thought is, in the times we are living, a little old-fashioned, to say the least. In part, that's because of the new economics phenomena, and also, because of new lines of thought that have been growing up in this field. What I'd like you to explain me, is that if there is any possibility that some past economics theories or thoughts could be taken with some modifications to explain the new economic conditions, and in the worst case, if any theory or economic thought could be such powerful to prevent a new world crisis. I know that it's a difficult question, but I'd like to know the opinions of other members of the list. ============ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ============ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
