The Institute for New Economic Thinking will host its third annual plenary conference in Berlin from April 12 to 14, 2012. The conference, entitled “Paradigm Lost: Rethinking Economics and Politics," will take place in the Axica Conference Center adjacent to the world famous Brandenburg Gate.
About 300 scholars, students, policy makers, and journalists will convene in the eye of the European economic hurricane to reconsider conventional economic thinking. The challenges posed by inequality, unemployment, climate change, and global financial disarray call for new economic thinking that is open, credible, and relevant in the current world; that offers vision amid uncertainty, and fosters cooperation where there is fragmentation.
The event is by invitation only, but whether or not you can attend, you will be able to watch the entire conference on our website. INET will film everything and upload it to the web along with slides and conference papers.
The conference is organized in conjunction with our partners, the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) and the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC).
Stay tuned for more information coming soon.

Right place, right time. Congratulations. Who could ask for more?
Great Program at the Great Place and the Great Time!
It is just unclear if the optimal way to the new knowledge creation is sticking to the old methods of interaction. I would submit that the fundamentally new knowledge comes from both new ideas and new ways of their interaction (confrontation of ideas, etc). My proposal is just a variaton on the old dychotomy of process and product.
