"INSTITUTIONALISM VERSUS MARXISM: PERSPECTIVES FOR SOCIAL SCIENCE"
A Public Debate
Professor Alex Callinicos (University of York)
Professor Geoff Hodgson (University of Hertfordshire)
6.00pm, Monday 30 April 2001
Fielder Centre, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, Herts., UK
Everyone Welcome. No charge.
This debate between two leading thinkers will address some of the most
important and critical problems in social science today. Does Marxism offer
a viable theoretical alternative for the twenty-first century? Does
institutionalism offer a superior theoretical approach?
Alex Callinicos is the author of "Equality" (2000), "Social Theory: A
Historical Introduction" (1999), "Against Post-Modernism" (1988) and many
other works.
Geoff Hodgson is the author of, for example, "How Economics Forgot History"
(2001), "Economics and Utopia" (1999), and "Evolution and Institutions"
(1999).
This public debate is organised by the Centre for Research in Institutional
Economics at the University of Hertfordshire.
The Fielder Centre is about 1.8 miles from Hatfield Railway Station. There
are fast trains taking about 30 minutes from the centre of London.
