STOREP is pleased to promote the
3rd International Conference “Renaissance in Economics. Manifesto for the new economy”
Rome, 14-15 May 2026
We are living in a difficult season with challenges that put the future of our civilization at risk.
We are aware of how much economic thought, our elective field, plays a fundamental role in our culture and how much results and awareness are now mature in the research frontier that can and must push us towards a vision that overcomes barriers and reductionism, as has always been the case. in the history of scientific progress. For this reason we believed that the time was ripe in which to propose together, colleagues from the world of Italian and international universities, a manifesto that illustrates the generative potential, satisfaction and richness of the meaning of life, of a sustainable response that can come from our discipline to today’s challenges.

The session gathers alternatives to the current state of the discipline across the three dimensions of theorizing, teaching, and publishing. Organized by the Italian Association for the History of Political Economy (STOREP), the session brings together historians of economic thought interested in economic-methodology perspectives, working at the boundaries, so to speak, of the discipline itself. Three proposals are put forward to rethink economics, drawing on the growing variety that currently characterizes the discipline, but also to reconstruct it on firmer foundations, so that pluralism may become a permanent, rather than incidental, feature of economics.
