«Economists and the First World War»
Alain Clément Study Days
22 and 23 November 2018
École militaire, Paris
Call for papers
The economic aspects of the war, and in particular the first world conflictl, were often highlighted. Emphasis has been placed on the break with the past in terms of its demographic, material, financial and monetary repercussions, and the transformation it has brought about in terms of the role of the State in economic regulation and women's participation in the labour market.
It is from another angle, that of the viewpoint of the economists contemporary with the conflict, that this double study day to compare and contrast the views of different economists on the First World War, its causes and economic consequences, how to finance it and how to ensure peace.
These days will be organised in the in memory of Alain Clément, professor at the University of Tours and researcher at the Laboratoire d'économie d'Orléans, who, as part of the PHILEO research seminar (Philosophy, History and Economic Thought seminar at the Orléans Economics Laboratory), a series of conferences on the theme.
Contributions on Charles Gide, John Maynard Keynes and Otto Neurath have been or will be presented and discussed in this context, and will form the core of this event. As part of this call for papers, these authors may of course be interviewed again. But we are also looking for contributions on other authors, both well-known and lesser-known, whether or not they are nationals of the belligerent countries.
At the end of the conference, the papers presented may be submitted for publication in a special issue of the Journal of the History of Economic Thought.
