The Australian Fabian Society (NSW Branch) invites you to ... "How to Argue with an Economist: Debating the Value of the Dismal Science" Using a provocative new book by economist Lindy Edwards, How to Argue with an Economist, this forum seeks to broaden political debate in Australia and questions the value of economics in every day life. With special guest speakers: * Lindy Edwards Former Economics Adviser in the Department of Prime Minister & Cabinet, former Economics Adviser with Natasha Stott Despoja, Sydney Morning Herald journalist and author of How to Argue with an Economist: Reopening Political Debate in Australia. Ms Edwards is based at the Australian National University. * Dr Steve Keen Associate Professor of Economics and Finance at The University of Western Sydney and author of Debunking Economics: The Naked Emperor of the Social Sciences. Reflecting on how economics has become central to our lives, and how the 'economic rationalist' perspective has become the lens through which all matters in Australian public life are viewed, Cambridge University Press has published a book where the author explains how economists think, and then how one can argue with them. The forum will also feature highly respected economist Dr Steve Keen whose own book Debunking Economics: The Naked Emperor of the Social Sciences provided a stinging critique of neoclassical economics and current economics orthodoxy. He will provide his own perspective on the dismal science and weigh up the value of economics in society today. Time: 6.30 pm start Date: Wednesday, 18 December, 2002 Place: Upstairs Caf�, Berkelouw Books, 70 Norton Street, Leichhardt Entry: $5 members/$10 non-members
