SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘‘Calculating the Costs of Conflict’\, Ron Smith
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 26 April 2017\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Ron Smith\nTalk Title: ‘‘Calculating the Costs of Conflict’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nThe next St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar in the series on the Economics of Austerity\, will be held on 26 April\, 2017 – Ron Smith  will give a talk on ‘Calculating the Costs of Conflict’. The seminar will be held in the Ramsden Room at St Catharine’s College from 6.00-7.30 pm. All are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Judge Business School. \nSpeaker:\nRon Smith is Professor of Applied Economics at Birkbeck\, University of London\, where he teaches statistics and econometrics. Prior to joining Birkbeck in 1976\, he taught at Cambridge. He has also been visiting professor at London Business School and the University of Colorado. He has written 6 books\, edited another 3 and published over 200 papers mainly in applied econometrics and defence economics. His book Military\nEconomics: the interaction of power and money (Palgrave 2009) was shortlisted for the 2010 Duke of Westminster’s Medal for Military Literature. He has acted as a consultant to a range of bodies including Frontier Economics and the UK National Audit Office on defence projects.\nHe is an Associate Fellow of the Royal United Services Institute and regularly lectures at the UK Defence Academy. He was awarded the 2011 Lewis Fry Richardson lifetime achievement award for contributions to the scientific study of militarised conflict by the European Consortium of Political Research. \nTalk Overview:\nConflict has a major influence on economic development and there is a large literature on the economic costs of military conflict. This presentation uses four questions to structure a discussion of the calculation of conflict costs. The first concerns the purpose of the calculation: why is it being done? The second concerns the counterfactual: what comparison is being made? The third concerns the data: where do the numbers come from? The fourth concerns aggregation and valuation: how are the elements of costs (over outcomes\, time and individuals) combined? The literature is often not clear on the answers to these questions\, tending to take them for granted. However\, the answers are crucial to the calculation and are not merely technical matters of economics and statistics but rest on both the underlying objective of the calculation and fundamental philosophical and ethical judgements. The presentation will draw on “On the heterogenous consequences of civil war” (with Vincenzo Bove and Leandro Elia) Oxford Economic Papers forthcoming and “The Economic Costs of Military Conflict”\, Journal of Peace Research\, 51(2) March 2014 pp. 245 – 256. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (m.kitson@jbs.cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.

SUMMARY:Financialisation and the Periodisation of Capitalism Discussion
DESCRIPTION:IPPE financialisation working group invites to you a discussion on:\nFinancialisation and the periodisation of capitalism \n25th April 2017\, 6-8pm\,\nKhalili Lecture Theatre\, SOAS\, University of London \nAs the concept gains prominence within social sciences\, debates arise about situating financialisation within the history of capitalism. Is financialisation a contingent product of the economic shifts of the 1970s and 1980s? Is it a long-run tendency of capitalism?\nJoin us for for a discussion about these issues with Prof. Photis Lysandrou (City University of London)\, Prof. Simon Mohun (Queen Mary University of London)\, and Prof. Jan Toporowski (SOAS). The speakers will introduce their different viewpoints and discuss some theoretical implications concerning the incorporation of contextual aspects with respect to space and time\, based on questions prepared by the IIPPE financialisation working group. A general Q&A session will follow. The event is open to everyone\, and is chaired by Dr Ulrich Volz\, head of the department of Economics at SOAS.

SUMMARY:Post-Brexit Options for the UK: Combining Legal and Economic Analysis Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The UK government faces a major challenge in formulating a clear plan for Brexit. Its current position is that departing the EU necessarily entails leaving the European Economic Area and customs union. The Prime Minster has said that ‘no deal’ is better than a ‘bad deal’. Thus it is possible that at the end of March 2019\, the UK will fall back on WTO rules. While the government may have worked out the legal and institutional implications of this scenario\, it has not shared this information with the public. By its own admission\, the government has not undertaken any economic analysis of the possible effects of Brexit\, beyond the work carried out by the Treasury before the referendum of June 2016. In these circumstances\, there is an urgent need for informed public debate on the consequences of Brexit. On 30 March 2017 the Cambridge Public Policy Strategic Research Initiative and Centre for Business Research (CBR) will be holding a Workshop to explore the legal and economic context of the momentous decision to trigger Article 50. We will be reporting the state of the art on legal issues which include the WTO option\, migration\, citizen’s rights\, the UK’s ‘exit bill’\, free movement\, taxation\, social policy\, and the legal mechanics of leaving\, including the proposed ‘Great Repeal Act’. We will also be presenting the latest results from the CBR’s economic forecasting model\, UKMOD\, which has earned a reputation for accuracy and even-handedness in its analysis of the effects of Brexit. \nKeynote speaker\nJames Wolffe QC\, Lord Advocate for Scotland \nLegal Issues:\nMigration: Catherine Barnard\nThe WTO Option: Lorand Bartels\nSector-specific regulation: John Bell\nSocial and Economic Policy: Simon Deakin\nTaxation: Julian Ghosh QC\nThe Great Repeal Act: David Howarth\nEU Citizens’ Rights: Kirsty Hughes\nFree Movement: Martin Steinfeld\nThe UK’s ‘Exit Bill’: Michael Waibel \nEconomic Forecast\nEconomic Scenarios Post-Brexit: Graham Gudgin\, Ken Coutts and Neil Gibson \nRegistration\nRegistration is free but places are limited.

SUMMARY:Economic Policies since the Global Financial Crisis Conference
DESCRIPTION:Economic Policies since the Global Financial Crisis Conference \nThis conference\, organised by the Cambridge Trust for New Thinking in Economics (CTNTE)\, focuses on how economic policies have changed in response to the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) from the viewpoint of the ‘New Economics’\, an interdisciplinary approach that is concerned with institutional behaviour\, expectations and uncertainty as opposed to traditional economics with its emphasis on equilibrium\, mathematical formalism and deterministic solutions. \nThe Conference brings together eight papers by renown academics across Europe to explore the fiscal policy responses in the immediate aftermath of the GFC changes to the economic policies and attitudes to the financial sector and its regulation the development of ‘unorthodox’ monetary policies changes to industrial policy\, labour market and environmental policies the impact of growing concerns over inequality on the policy agenda. \nThe papers explore the fate of these policy developments at both national and supra-national level. \nRegistration forms and more detailed information regarding the conference programme\, speakers and papers is available online http://www.neweconomicthinking.org/prog_30March2017.htm \nThe standard conference fee is £129\, with a special rate of £44 for academics\, not-for-profit organisations and placement students.

SUMMARY:IIPPE Training Workshop – Value and Price after Marx
DESCRIPTION:IIPPE Training Workshop – Value and Price after Marx \nMon 27 March\, SOAS Brunei Gallery (room B102) \nThe International Initiative for Promoting Political Economy (IIPPE) announce their next Training Workshop at SOAS (room B102\, in the Brunei Gallery)\, London on 27 March 2017 (registration from 9.30am). \nSimon Mohun will lead the workshop. In the morning session (10am to 1pm)\, the focus will be on a Marxist approach to the understanding of value and price. The afternoon session will provide a comprehensive survey of approaches to the ‘transformation problem’\, for which a prerequisite is either (and preferably) the morning session or some prior knowledge of the issues involved. In both sessions the emphasis will be on interpretation and logic\, rather than any underlying mathematics. \nThis Workshop will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students\, junior academics and activists who have a particular interest in acquainting themselves with core elements of Marxian political economy. \nPre-registration is essential because of room capacity constraints. Please register by completing the online form. \nTo learn about IIPPE\, their activities\, working groups and events\, access www.iippe.org.

SUMMARY:'Does inequality hamper innovation and growth?' Alberto Russo & ‘A simple formalisation of Minsky's business cycle theory’ by Rob Jump
DESCRIPTION:‘Does inequality hamper innovation and growth?’ by Alberto Russo (Marche Polytechnic University) \nAbstract: The paper builds upon the Agent Based-Stock Flow Consistent model presented in Caiani et al. (2015) to analyze the relationship between income and wealth inequality and economic development. For this sake\, the original model has been amended under three main dimensions: first\, the households sector has been subdivided into workmen\, office workers\, researchers\, and executives which compete on segmented labor markets.  Conversely\, firms are now characterized by a hierarchical organization structure which determines\, according to firms’ output levels\, their demand for each type of workers. Second\, in order to account for the impact of income and wealth distribution on consumption patterns\, different households classes – also representing different income groups – have diversified average propensities to consume and save. Finally\, the model now embeds technological change in an evolutionary flavor\, affecting labor productivity evolution in the consumption sector through product innovation in the capital sector\, where firms invest in R&D and produce differentiated vintages of machineries. The model is then calibrated using realistic values for both income and wealth distribution across different income groups\, and their average propensities to consume. Results of the simulation experiments suggest that more progressive tax schemes and labor market policies aiming to increase low and middle workers’ coordination\, and to support their wage levels\, concur to foster economic development and to reduce inequality\, though the latter seem to be more effective under both respects. The model thus provides some evidence in favor of a wage-led growth regime\, where improvements of middle-low levels workers’ conditions create positive systemic effects\, which eventually trickle up also to high income-profit earners households. \n‘A simple formalisation of Minsky’s business cycle theory’ by Rob Jump (Kingston University) \nAbstract: This paper presents a simple model of Minsky’s business cycle theory. The model is based on the Phillips (1954) continuous time multiplier accelerator model\, where firms have a target debt to income ratio\, rather than a target capital to income ratio. Via a strategy switching mechanism\, fluctuations with a smaller perceived volatility lead to firms reducing their margins of safety by moving towards higher debt to income ratios. This increases volatility\, the economy is destabilised\, and firms increase their margins of safety by moving towards lower debt to income ratios. Hence the cycle repeats itself\, and “stability is destabilising”.  The simple model relies on an approximate aggregation assumption\, and we estimate the approximation bias numerically using techniques from agent based modelling. \nPlease join us for this event as part of the Economic Department Research Seminar Series\, it is free to attend. \nBooking and further information: http://www.kingston.ac.uk/events/item/2502/22-mar-2017-economics-research-seminar-with-alberto-russo-and-rob-jump/ \nContact: Antoine Godin (A.Godin@kingston.ac.uk) \nVenue: JG 3013 \nHow to find us: The seminar takes place at Penryhn Road Campus (Kingston upon Thames\, Surrey\, KT1 2EE).

SUMMARY:St Catharine's Political Economy Seminar - '‘Expansionary Fiscal Policy – Open Economy Issues’\, Jonathan Perraton
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 8 March 2017\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Jonathan Perraton\nTalk Title: ‘‘Expansionary Fiscal Policy – Open Economy Issues’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nThe next St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar in the series on the Economics of Austerity\, will be held on 08 March\, 2017 – Jonathan Perraton will give a talk on ‘Expansionary Fiscal Policy – Open Economy Issues’. The seminar will be held in the Ramsden Room at St Catharine’s College from 6.00-7.30 pm. All are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Judge Business School. \nSpeaker:\nJonathan Perraton is Senior Lecturer in Economics at the University of Sheffield and an Associate Fellow of the Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute. He has published on economic globalisation\, balance of payments constrained growth\, political economy and economic methodology. He is a past coordinator of the Post-Keynesian Economics Study Group. \nTalk Overview:\nMuch of the recent discussion of expansionary fiscal policy has abstracted from open economy issues. The degree of openness of an economy would be expected to affect the multiplier; further\, the size\, composition and financing of any expansionary package would be expected to affect the real exchange rate. Some studies have indicated particular responses here from public infrastructure investment. The response of interest rates determined in global markets is crucial; this is related here to earlier economics and political economy work on the feasibility of Keynesian policies under globalisation. Some of this earlier work pointed to possible risk premium effects limiting the effectiveness of Keynesian policies. This work is revisited\, drawing on evidence from before and since the Global Financial Crisis. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (m.kitson@jbs.cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.

The presentation offers a different strategy (broadening competitive market opportunities to acquire capital with the earnings of capital) resting on a different theory of fuller employment) (the prospect of more broadly distributed capital earnings in future years provides incentives to profitably employ more labour and capital in earlier years). This theory of fuller employment is similar to Keynesian theory but distinct and complementary because it operates in the long run as well as the short run and requires no redistribution. Based on the theory\, modest changes in the system of corporate finance will enable market participants to price the value of more broadly distributed capital acquisition. Predicted results include (1) enhanced earnings for poor and middle-class people\, (2) enhanced corporate profits and growth\, (3) reduced need for welfare dependence\, government spending\, borrowing\, and taxes\, and (4) enhanced sovereign creditworthiness. These predicted results\, if realized\, surpass expectations based on mainstream theories and will make both austerity and stimulus strategies more affordable and politically feasible. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (m.kitson@jbs.cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.

SUMMARY:St Catharine's Political Economy Seminar Series - 'Whose Recovery?’\, Andy Haldane
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 22 February 2017\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Andy Haldane\nTalk Title: ‘Whose Recovery?’\nLocation: Mill Lane Lecture Room 1 \nThe next St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar in the series on the Economics of Austerity\, will be held on 22 February\, 2017 – Andy Haldane will give a talk on “Whose Recovery?”. The seminar will be held in the Mill Lane Lecture Room 1 from 6.00-7.30 pm. All are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Judge Business School. \nSpeaker\nAndy Haldane is the Chief Economist at the Bank of England and Executive Director\, Monetary Analysis and Statistics. He is a member of the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee. He also has responsibility for research and statistics across the Bank. In 2014\, TIME magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Andy has written extensively on domestic and international monetary and financial policy issues. He is co-founder of ‘Pro Bono Economics’\, a charity which brokers economists into charitable projects. \nTalk overview\nAndy Haldane will talk on the issue of at an aggregate level\, there has been a strong recovery in the UK economy over the past three years and a dramatic improvement in the jobs market. For many\, the economic recovery has been visible and tangible – in sales\, in jobs\, in investment. But for others it is barely visible and for some non-existent. Put differently\, whose recovery are we actually talking about? This economic recovery has varied considerably across different dimensions depending on: where in the country you live\, how old you are\, what assets you own and your income level. For growth to be sustainable and strong it needs to be inclusive and comprehensive.\nThis talk will discuss how we might reconcile the macro data with these micro accounts\, and what role public policy should seek to play over time to close these fault-lines and achieve inclusive and sustainable rises in societal well-being. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (m.kitson@jbs.cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar –  'Explaining the Euro Crisis: Current Account Imbalances\, Credit Booms and Economic Policy in Different Economic Paradigms’\, Engelbert Stockhammer
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 8 February 2017\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Engelbert Stockhammer\nTalk Title: ‘Explaining the Euro Crisis: Current Account Imbalances\, Credit Booms and Economic Policy in Different Economic Paradigms’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nSt Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar in the series on the Economics of Austerity\, a seminar will be held on 08 February\, 2017 – Engelbert Stockhammer will give a talk on ‘Explaining the Euro Crisis: Current Account Imbalances\, Credit Booms and Economic Policy in Different Economic Paradigms’. The seminar will be held in the Ramsden Room at St Catharine’s College from 6.00-7.30 pm. All are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Judge Business School. \nSpeaker:\nEngelbert Stockhammer is Professor of Economics at Kingston University London and coordinator of the Political Economy Research Group (PERG). He has worked on Post Keynesian Economics\, financialisation\, wage-led demand regimes and economic policy in Europe and is ranked among the top 5% of economists worldwide by REPEC. He has published numerous articles in international peer-refereed journals\, including the Cambridge Journal of Economics\, Oxford Review of Economic Policy\,International Review of Applied Economics\, Journal of Post Keynesian Economics\, British Journal of Industrial Relations\, Environment and Planning A\, New Political Economy\, and Socio-Economic Review. Recent books include Wage-Led Growth. An Equitable Strategy for Economic Recovery. \nTalk overview:\nThe paper proposes a post-Keynesian analysis of the Eurozone crisis and contrasts interpretations inspired by New Keynesian\, New Classical\, and Marxist theories. The origin of the crisis is the emergence of a debt-driven and an export-driven growth model\, which resulted in rapid increase in private debt ratios and current account imbalances. The reason the crisis escalated in southern Europe\, but not in other parts of the world\, lies in the unique dysfunctional economic policy regime of the Euro area. European fiscal rules and the Troika impose fiscal austerity on countries in crisis and the separation of fiscal and monetary spaces has made countries vulnerable to sovereign debt crises and forced them to comply. We analyse the role different paradigms attribute to current account imbalances\, fiscal policy and monetary policy. Remarkably\, opposing views on the relative importance of cost and demand developments in explaining current account imbalances can be found in both heterodox and orthodox economics. Regarding the assessment of fiscal and monetary policy there is a clearer polarisation\, with heterodox analysis regarding austerity as unhelpful and large parts of orthodox economics endorsing it. We conclude that there is a weak mapping between post-Keynesian\, New Classcial\, New Keynesian and Marxist theories and different economic policy strategies for the Euro area\, which we label Keynesian New Deal\, European Orthodoxy\, Moderate Reform and Progressive Exit respectively. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (m.kitson@jbs.cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – 'Brexit and the Political Economy of ‘Populism’\, Yiannis Kitromilides
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 25 January 2017\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Yiannis Kitromilides\nTalk Title: ‘Brexit and the Political Economy of ‘Populism’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nThe next St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar in the series on the Economics of Austerity\, will be held on 25 January\, 2017 – Yiannis Kitromilides will give a talk on “Brexit and the Political Economy of ‘Populism'”. The seminar will be held in the RAMSDEN Room at St Catharine’s College from 6.00-7.30 pm. All are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Cambridge Judge Business School. \nSpeaker\nYiannis Kitromilides is Associate Member of the Cambridge Centre of Economic and Public Policy\, Department of Land Economy\, University of Cambridge. He has previously taught at the University of Greenwich\, the University of Westminster\, the University of Middlesex and the School of Oriental and African Studies\, University of London. His main research interests are in the areas of European Monetary Integration\, Reform of Banking\, Economics of Climate Change and the Political Economy of Economic Policy-making. His most recent publications include papers on the political economy of the austerity strategy\, Greece and the eurozone crisis\, Technocracy and public policy-making and the EU after ‘Brexit’. \nTalk Overview\nThe unexpected electoral success of both the ‘leave’ campaign in the UK referendum and of Donald Trump in the US presidential elections has been widely attributed to the rise of right-wing ‘populism’. It is predicted that this phenomenon is likely to be repeated in other parts of Europe and the World. This is to be contrasted with left-wing ‘populism’ which produced the recent electoral successes of the anti-austerity movements of Syriza in Greece and Podemos in Spain. ‘Populism’ appears to provide an explanation for the electoral successes of both left-wing and right-wing movements. The concept of ‘populism’ is subject to many different\, often conflicting\, interpretations and definitions. The paper examines the different varieties of ‘populism’ and concludes that given its elusive nature the widespread use of the term as an explanation of recent surprising electoral outcomes is of rather limited usefulness. Regarding ‘Brexit’\nthe paper discusses an alternative explanation for the electoral outcome of the UK referendum as ‘an accident waiting to happen’. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (m.kitson@jbs.cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.

SUMMARY:Kingston Economic Department Research Seminar Series – ‘Minsky models: a structured survey' Maria Nikolaidi & Engelbert Stockhammer & 'Monetary policy and complexity in behavioural New Keynesian models' Rob Jump
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Kingston Economic Department Research Seminar Series \nDate: Wednesday 14 December 2016\nTime: 4.00pm – 6.00pm\nVenue: JG 4006 (John Galsworthy building)\nPrice: free\nBooking and further information: http://www.kingston.ac.uk/events/item/2303/14-dec-2016-economics-research-seminar-with-maria-nikolaidi-and-rob-jump/\nContact: Antoine Godin (A.Godin@kingston.ac.uk) \n‘Minsky models: a structured survey ‘ by Maria Nikolaidi (Greenwich University) and Engelbert Stockhammer (Kingston University) \nAbstract: Minsky cycles have recently gained prominence in the mainstream as well as in the heterodox literature. However\, there exists no agreement upon the formal presentation of the Minsky models. This paper surveys the existing literature and offers a unified framework to compare the different approaches. It turns out that Minskyan models differ in substantive ways as regards the goods market adjustment\, the dynamics of debt and the role of asset prices. The aim of this paper is to survey the literature\, clarify the differences and suggest a structure to classify Minsky-inspired models.\n‘Monetary policy and complexity in behavioural New Keynesian models’ by Rob Jump (Kingston University) \nAbstract: This paper studies the implications of bounded rationality and internal rationality for the conduct of monetary policy in the standard New Keynesian (NK) model. We demonstrate the conditions under which standard (Euler learning) bounded rationality and the more realistic internal rationality leads to instability in the NK model using analytical techniques\, and we demonstrate the conditions under which reinforcement learning leads to instability in the NK model using numerical techniques. We explore the extent to which an appropriate monetary policy can mitigate instability in the NK model under different types of learning and rationality. \nHow to find us: The seminar takes place at Penryhn Road Campus (Kingston upon Thames\, Surrey\, KT1 2EE). Public Transport: take train from London Waterloo to Surbiton (20 mins approx.) and walk (15 mins approx.) or buses 71\, 281\, K2\, K3 (5 mins approx.) from Surbiton Station to Kingston University.

SUMMARY:Kingston Economic Department Research Seminar Series – ‘Much of the ‘economics of property rights’ devalues property and legal rights' Geoffrey Hodgson
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the Kingston Economic Department Research Seminar Series. \nDate: Wednesday 30 November 2016\nTime: 4.00pm – 6.00pm\nVenue: JG 4006 (John Galsworthy building)\, Penryhn Road Campus\, Kingston upon Thames\nPrice: free\nBooking and further information: http://www.kingston.ac.uk/events/item/2339/30-nov-2016-economics-research-seminar-with-geoffrey-hodgson-and-bill-dunn/\nContact: Antoine Godin (A.Godin@kingston.ac.uk) \n‘Much of the ‘economics of property rights’ devalues property and legal rights’ by Geoffrey Hodgson (University of Hertfordshire)\, see also: http://newpolitics.apps-1and1.net/property-when-ludwig-von-mises-got-into-bed-with-karl-marx \nAbstract: Legal theorists and other commentators have long established a distinction between property and possession. According to this usage adopted here\, possession refers to control of a resource\, but property involves legally sanctioned rights. Strikingly\, prominent foundational accounts of the ‘economics of property rights’ concentrate on possession\, downplaying the issue of legitimate legal rights (Alchian\, 1965\, 1977; Barzel\, 1994\, 1997\, 2002; von Mises\, 1981). Some authors in this genre make a distinction between ‘economic rights’ and ‘legal rights’ where the former are more to do with possession or the capacity to control. They argue that ‘economic rights’ are primary and more relevant for understanding behaviour. But it is argued here that legal factors – involving recognition of authority and perceived justice or morality – have also to be brought into the picture to understand human motivation in modern societies\, even in the economic sphere. As other authors including Hernando De Soto (2000) have pointed out\, the neglect of the legal infrastructure that buttresses property has deleterious implications\, including a failure to understand the role of property in supporting collateralized loans for innovation and economic development. \n‘Putting finance in its place: Marx\, Keynes and the interstate system ‘ by Bill Dunn (University of Sidney) \nAbstract: The paper argues that Marxist theories of money and finance remain underdeveloped and can be enriched by a critical appropriation of Keynesian insights. It advocates a theory of money and finance based on the mutual but asymmetrical interrelations of class\, capital and state institutions. It argues that accepting a Marxist epistemology and the conceptual priority of social relations of production requires rather than denies acknowledging an active financial agency. However\, this agency is socially constructed and constrained. With the appropriate conceptual level of ‘the social’ seen as essentially global\, this also involves\, amongst other things\, discarding the exogenous / endogenous distinction but seeing states and their financial power\, like that of other institutions\, as framed within rather than as external to the social relations of production. \nHow to find us: The seminar takes place at Penryhn Road Campus (Kingston upon Thames\, Surrey\, KT1 2EE).
