DESCRIPTION:We hold annual conferences on the crisis in traditional econom
 ic theory.  New approaches are presented.  I am pleased to draw your atten
 tion to the 2015 event:\n \nEmerging Economies During and After the Great 
 Recession\n \nThursday 26 March 2015\nSt Catharine's College\, Cambridge\,
  UK\n \n \n \nThe conference is organised by the Cambridge Trust for New T
 hinking in Economics. Registered charity no.1111552\n \nPlaces are limited
 \, so please register quickly.  There is a special rate for academic and n
 ot-for-profit bookings.  There are also a few FREE places for students in 
 relevant fields.\n \n \nPurpose of conference:\nThe conference will look a
 t emerging economies and their experiences in the great recession. The fir
 st four papers will provide a general analysis of the recession’s causes
  and impact and the policy responses\, along with examples from three regi
 ons: Africa\, the Middle East and Latin America. The other four papers wil
 l provide an overview of the recession in emerging countries along with th
 e country-level impact\, with three case studies from China\, India and Tu
 rkey. A main focal point of all eight papers is to analyse how prevention 
 and intervention were in varying degrees used to diminish the impact of th
 e recession.\nThe conference will be held under the aegis of the Cambridge
  Trust for New Thinking in Economics and is intended to explore further th
 e contributions to New Thinking in Economics - ‘New Economics’ - as th
 e new mainstream.  New Economics is concerned with institutional behaviour
 \, expectations and uncertainty as opposed to traditional economics with i
 ts emphasis on equilibrium\, mathematical formalism and deterministic solu
 tions. With the financial crisis brought on by the unrestrained pursuit of
  personal and corporate profit\, sanctioned by traditional economics\, thi
 s is an opportune time to establish a new way of approaching economic unde
 rstanding\, based on new economic theory. It is also a good time to bring 
 forward new ideas on the approach to economic policy across a wide range o
 f areas (for example\, macroeconomic and global governance\, employment an
 d unemployment\, social security and pensions\, as well as environmental i
 ssues).\nNew thinking in economics is an interdisciplinary approach to eco
 nomic problems that acknowledges and respects the insights and analysis of
  other disciplines\, e.g. those of political science\, ethics\, history an
 d engineering. It also recognises complexity and evolutionary theory as re
 levant to understanding economic systems and economic behaviour. We wish t
 o emphasise the new thinking in economics that goes beyond the traditional
  approach\, which arguably is no longer mainstream economics.\n \n \nSPEAK
