WINIR SYMPOSIUM ON VARIETIES OF CAPITALISM (LONDON, UK, DECEMBER 2019) — Is there a tendency of different capitalisms to converge, or do diverse forms of capitalism still persist, aided by historical path-dependence and enduring institutional complementarities?

WINIR SYMPOSIUM ON LACHMANN (JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA, APRIL 2017) — Ludwig Lachmann (1906-1990) was an outstanding social scientist whose achievements ranged across a number of disciplines, including economics, sociology, law and philosophy. Well known for his work on Max Weber, his analysis of the limitations of equilibrium economics, and his contributions to the development of Austrian economics, Lachmann’s legacy revolves around three central themes: radical subjectivism, hermeneutics and human agency; market process and legal order; capital theory and macroeconomics.
