To All,



In the Notre Dame article I sent around, there was a mention of a conference at UMKC.  The Conference is question is the ICAPE Conference put on by Rob Garnett of ICAPE assisted by John

Harvey, myself and others.  Information about the Conference is given below.  The Conference is going to be a great one with great conversion and we at UMKC are going to work hard to make sure that it is an enjoyable one.  Book your hotel rooms early as KC for some strange reason is a popular place in the summer.

Founded in 1993, the International Confederation of Associations for Pluralism in Economics (ICAPE) is a consortium of 40 organizations working to promote pluralism in the intellectual training and culture of professional economists.  Now, ten years on, ICAPE is sponsoring its first conference: on the future of heterodox economics.  Our purpose is to think anew about heterodox economics -- our identities and organizations, professional and political -- in light of:



*  the passing of the Cold War and its rigid dichotomies (market/state, left/right)



*  the absence of a unified theoretical core (formerly occupied by Walrasian general equilibrium theory) within mainstream economics  



*  the aging and declining membership of many "school of thought" organizations



*  the youth-driven push for intellectual openness in economic research and teaching, sparked by the Post-Autistic Economics movement



*  the increasingly vibrant pluralism displayed in heterodox economics journals, many of which were formerly devoted to a single school of thought  



 

This three-day event will open up new dialogues among junior and senior scholars from Europe, Asia, the UK, Australia, and the Americas concerning the goals and prospects for heterodox economics.  Our hope is to generate new resources -- energy, ideas, (dis)agreements, strategies, alliances, and projects -- for economic pluralism in the 21st century.
