School of Economics, Management and Statistics - Piazza Antonio Scaravilli 2, Bologna

May   12–15–17–18–19-22   2017

Cycle of seminars providing a critical voyage on the history of economic thought as well as economic policies over the area of public economics. The cycle of seminars is articulated in three parts.

The first part will make an attempt to present the theoretical developments internal to public economics as both in the context of and as the context of the transition from social democracy to neoliberalism (from the days of the European social-democratic governments of the 1950s-1970s to the rising Neoliberal approach that started with Margaret Thatcher). 

The second part will present a methodological inquiry on the different ways of theorizing the set of activities that can be captured by neither the price mechanism of the markets nor by governmental transactions (such as gift exchange, self-help organizations, domestic work), which are getting increased attention within the economics discipline—mainstream and heterodox alike.

The third part will consider the ways in which the economics discipline tackles with ecological problems as a concrete/applied case.
