Rethinking Economics with John Maynard Keynes
90 years after the publication of the General Theory
University of Picardie Jules Verne
Amiens, December 2-3, 2026
In 1988, Cahiers d’Économie Politique / Papers in Political Economy devoted a double issue (nos. 14–15) to the fiftieth anniversary of The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, focusing on the evolution of its interpretations and comparing contemporary readings
with John Maynard Keynes’s earlier and later writings. Ten years later, another double issue (nos. 30–31) addressed the relationship between Keynes’s economics and philosophy.
On the occasion of the ninetieth anniversary of The General Theory, this conference aims, first, to provide a “state-of-the-art” assessment of Keynesian scholarship in its theoretical and methodological diversity and, second, to analyze its interactions with other traditions of economic thought.
To address these aims, contributions will be organized around three main analytical perspectives:
- the contemporary relevance of the concepts and analytical tools developed in The General Theory;
- the evolution of Keynesian traditions; and
- Keynes and contemporary capitalism.
Submissions in French or English are welcome. Contributions may fall within the fields of economic theory, the history of economic thought, economic philosophy, and interdisciplinary approaches.
This conference is organized by the Laboratory of Economics, Finance, Management and Innovation (LEFMI) at the University of Picardie Jules Verne, in partnership with Cahiers d’Économie Politique / Papers in Political Economy and the Association for the Development of Keynesian Studies (ADEK). It will be held in Amiens on December 2–3, 2026.
A selection of papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication in a special issue of Cahiers d’Économie Politique / Papers in Political Economy and will be subject to the journal’s standard double-blind peer-review process.
