This years' conference
theme concerns challengesto mainstream theories
from the point of view of Political Economy.The
financial crisis of 2008 was an embarrassment for
most mainstream economists whodid not expect it
andhad no explanation for why it had occurred. Economics
has gone astray. It is now the right time to reinvestigate
the nature of capitalism, and to rebuild basic theoriesof
capitalism based on diverse approaches of political
economics including Marxian political economy,the
Post Keynesian models,institutional and historical
schools, the Regulation school, analytical Marxism
and so on.This annual conference will provide an
important forum for debate among diverse points
of view in Political Economy.
