Tomás Undurraga nos informa de este muy interesante evento en Cambridge:
“Economic reason: intellectuals and think tanks in the late twentieth century”. Friday 28 June 2013, 1pm. Department of History and Philosophy of Science University of Cambridge.
The ECONPUBLIC project is hosting a workshop which will examine historical change in the public interventions of intellectuals and think tanks. It is an emerging consensus that public opinion has been wrestled away from the words and performances of intellectuals to be increasingly managed and dictated by collectives of intellectuals such as think tanks and policy institutes. This workshop will review the state of the art of public history and sociology, and set out implications for future research on the modes and content of public economic knowledge.

13:00-13:40 – Ben Jackson (University of Oxford)
‘New right intellectuals and new right think tanks: the case of the IEA’
