SUMMARY:'In combating austerity\, pure theory matters’ - Lord Eatwell (U
 niversity of Cambridge)
DTSTART:20150121T180000Z

UID:TALK57081@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Philippa Millerchip
DESCRIPTION:John Eatwell has been particularly struck by the a-theoretical
  stance of the austerity-opposition. In part this is understandable as a r
 eaction to the obscurantist scholasticism of the economic orthodoxy. But i
 t also represents a fundamental failure to engage with our fellow economis
 ts - the stated objective of the General Theory. John Eatwell will illustr
 ate why pure theory debates are a key component in opposition to the damag
 ing policies that dominate current policy\, and that the theoretical failu
 res of the opposition have strengthened the austerity school.
