Attend, Represent, and Explore: INET's YSI April 10-12, 2014 (Toronto, Canada)

|Peter Boettke|

"The Institute for New Economic Thinking’s Young Scholars Initiative (YSI) supports and inspires the next generation of new economic thinkers. As a community, YSI seeks to transform the discourse in economics by establishing an open space for economic thought and inquiry. Ultimately, we aim to renew economic thinking by embodying the change we hope to see within economics discipline.

The community is comprised of more than 4000 students, post-doctoral economists, assistant professors, and young researchers and professionals from around the world, with regional hubs in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. We organize conferences, workshops, webinars, and working and discussion groups on a range of subjects."

I am so confused by this group. They seem to want to work against formalism and hyper-rationality. And yet the speakers at the Toronto conference include: Larry Summers, James Heckman, and Joseph Stiglitz. Is their point really about social values? I am honestly puzzled.

Ditto Mario.

Are these people in favor of free markets? or socialism?
