The event will feature remarks from the leading UK and US post-Keynesian scholars Victoria Chick and Paul Davidson. Three presentations will give accounts of post-war policy, contrasting the golden age with the liberalised era, in Germany (by Jörg Bibow), the UK (by myself) and France (by Renaud du Tertre and Hélène de Largentaye).

The event is organised jointly by Hélène de Largentaye and Jean Michel Massing.  Hélène graduated in economics from Kings and was the first Secretary General of the Conseil d’analyse economique, founded by the French socialist Prime Minister ( 1997-2002) . Her father translated the General Theory into French in 1939  just before  the  advent of the Vichy regime which delayed the publication until 1942. Hélène will tell this fascinating story with Ghislain Deleplace, and Harald Hagemann will discuss the German translation (1936) .

Jean Michel has also organised morning sessions around Keynes’s wider interests, in particular his art collection and his book collection.
