Where: Breedlove Room, Perkins Library
Why: Join us for this special forum --- you needn't be an expert! The recent collapse of the edifice of international finance has confirmed for many the viewpoint of advocates of economic regulation. The logic of unregulated capitalism seems to render it dysfunctional, putting society's productive potential at risk. An unexpected revival of Keynesian practices and theories signals the crisis of post-corporatist economic liberalism and an end to the hegemony of neoliberal theory. Wolfgang Maderthaner is a leading Austrian historian and Director of the Institute for the History of the Labor Movement in Vienna. A response to his comments will be given by Duke's Professor Bruce Caldwell, Center for the History of Political Economy. Come be part of the interactive audience! For a detailed abstract, please email sec16@duke.edu. This event is sponsored by the Society of Duke Fellows (SDF) with support from GSA, and also by CHOPE.
