7-9 : Annual History of Economic Thought Conference, University of
Bath.
Call for Papers. Bath is a particularly suitable venue for this year's
conference since 1998 is the bicentenary of Malthus's Essay on
Population
and he had strong connections with the Bath area and with the parish of
Claverton (in which the University of Bath is located). Though this is
not a bicentenary conference it will include a symposium on recent
research
on Malthus in the history of economic thought. We therefore invite
papers
in this area. We also invite papers in all other areas of the history
of
economic thought. Could prospective contributors please submit a title
and 500 word abstract to the conference organiser by 15 March 1998.
Conference
accommodation is on the university campus and is all en-suite.
Anticipated
cost in real terms is about the same as for the 1997 conference.

paper presentation is expected. The IZA is covering all local expenses
and pays a travel subsidy of up to DM 500 to participants from Germany,

other countries. Acceptance decisions will be sent immediately after

30 - October 3 : The MARX INTERNATIONAL II Congress, University de
Paris-X
Nanterre. Proposals (a one page summary and a short bio-bibliography)
must
be sent before April 15, 1998 to : G. Dumenil et D. Levy CEPREMAP 142,
rue du Chevaleret 75013 Paris or by e-email to : dominique.levy@cepremap.cnrs.fr
or gerard.dumenil@u-paris10.fr.
We hope that this Congress will have a large and lasting impact. The
organization
of the Congress is not finalized and suggestions are welcome. Please
provide
the names and addresses of persons who may be interested in receiving
information
about the Congress, in particular those individuals who could present
their
work. The main language will be French and simultaneous translation
will
not be provided. However, papers and presentations in English are also
possible. Depending on interest level and the number of English
contributions
that we receive, some workshops in English could be organized.
Capitalism
in Process. The economic section of the Congress will be open to a
large
number of contributions in a variety of fields, but will attempt to
focus
on a unifying topic. The theme of the economic section will be
capitalism
in process. Traditional analysis concerning fundamental concepts and
mechanisms
will not be excluded, but the primary emphasis will be on the
investigation
of contemporary capitalism from a Marxist or heterodox perspective. The
analysis of the transformations of capitalism and its contemporary
problems
obviously stretches beyond the limits of economics. But the work of
Marxist
and other heterodox economists have made important inroads, as is
obvious
from an examination of their work. These efforts must be pursued if
Marxist
economics is to recover its theoretical foundations and maintain its
uniqueness
among other heterodox approaches. One plenary session and approximately
ten workshops will be devoted to the economic section of the Congress.
The topic of the plenary session will be the criticism of
neoliberalism.
(Neoliberalism is used here in the European sense of the term ; it can
be roughly translated as conservatism.) This topic fits squarely with
the
focus of the transformations of contemporary capitalism, including
economic
crisis, unemployment and economic policy. The class content of
neoliberal
policy, its effects and possible Left alternatives will all be
discussed.
Approximately three to four presentations will compose a workshop. The
structure of each workshop will be determined after an examination of
the
proposed contributions taking account of their relation to particular
themes.
It is clear that the organizing committee will have to be selective.
For
a few workshops, leaders will be chosen among persons who have made
particular
contributions in the form of published articles or collections of works
on the subject. The issue of capitalism in process can be addressed in
a broad variety of ways : (1) The transformations of capitalism : The
gradual
evolution of the relations of production and corresponding class
patterns
define a first theme. Are productive workers disappearing? How can we
interpret
the rise of the middle class composed of such groups as managerial and
clerical personnel? How is the influence of capitalist property
relations
exerted ? By which groups ? Within which institutions ? By which
specific
policies ? Is neoliberalism the policy of finance ? These issues are
connected
to a possible new stage in the development of society called socialism.
Are we still able to formulate an alternative to capitalism ? What can
we learn from the history of the socialist countries ? A third category
of problems relates to the internationalization of capital. What are
the
consequences of this process within both the countries of the center
and
the periphery ? What is the relation of internationalization to crisis
and unemployment ? Is imperialism still relevant ? (2) The contemporary
crisis : The evolution of capitalism is clearly conditioned by its
ability
to recover from the present crisis and the features of this recovery :
*A first theme is the analysis of crisis, of its origins and its
developments.
What are the mechanisms governing the origin of the crisis in the 1970s
and their relation to Marxist analysis ? How should the international
and
national factors be balanced ? What was the impact of real and monetary
mechanisms ? How can we explain the persistence of unemployment in
Europe
? What can be said about the debt crisis of the early 1980s ? What are
the origin and consequences of the crisis in the Asian countries ? * A
second theme is that of the possible outcomes for the future. Are the
first
signs of a recovery detectable ? Is the U.S. somehow unique ? Would
such
recovery be related to the reassertion of the basic capitalist
character
of the world economy or instead to the transition toward a new stage of
capitalism ? Is the new course of capitalism plagued by any specific
weaknesses
? Is a collapse similar to the Great Depression on the agenda ? (3) The
endurance of the explanatory power of Marxist analysis : The soundness
of the basic tools of Marxist analysis and the transformations of
capitalism
are clearly connected. Do notions such as commodity or productive
labor,
or the law of the tendency of the profit rate to fall, still have
explanatory
value ? To what extent do traditional Marxist tools need to be modified
? Do other heterodox approaches provide the key for a renewal of the
Marxist
framework ? (4) The theories of the firm and wage labor : The Congress
will provide an opportunity to explore the relationship between Marxist
analysis and the contemporary theories of the firm and wage labor as
well
as the issue of property relations which links economics and the law.
(5)
The preservation of the planet : Recent developments concerning global
warming raise the issue of the link between the transformations of
capitalism
and ecology. Can capitalism preserve the environment ? Can solutions to
environmental problems be found in a social system in which problems
are
basically addressed in an ex-post fashion ? Are environmental problems
related to crisis and recovery ?

11 : William II - German Emperor, arrived in Eijsden, The Netherlands,
in order to ask for political asylum. Thus ended a reign of thirty
years
during which Germany had undergone deep economic, social, political and
cultural change; the repercussions of this change lasted well beyond
the
military defeat of 1918 and can partly still be appreciated today. In a
leading American encyclopedea we read: "Whatever may be the verdict of
history in regard to the influence of this remarkable personality upon
the destinies of his country and Europe, there is little question that
he will be considered the ablest, most energetic, and most interesting
sovereign of his time." [The New International Encyclopedea, vol. 23,
New
York: Dodd, Mead and Company, 1923 (second edition), p. 578.] The
verdict
of history, however, has not been kind. William II has been faulted
with
many causes that led to Germany's defeat and decline, and credited with
little that constituted its progress. Sixty years after the end of his
reign, the time should be ripe to re-assess this historical figure in
its
proper context. A conference will be held on November 11, 1998 in
[either
Baltimore, Maryland or Washington D.C. ] focussing, in particular, on
William's
II role in the areas of economic and social policy, policies affecting
the university and research landscape and policies with respect to
technological
development. Papers in any of these fields are welcome. Conference
languages
are English, Dutch and German. For further information please contact
