INTERNATIONAL WORKING GROUP ON VALUE THEORY
2d SUMMER SYMPOSIUM AT GREENWICH
9-10 JULY, 2001
The International Working Group on Value Theory invites you to attend its 2nd Summer Symposium at Greenwich (London, UK). The symposium will be held on 9-10 July, 2001 (Monday-Tuesday), 9:30 am - 5:30 pm, at the Maritime Campus of the University of Greenwich.
As was the case last year, the symposium immediately follows the conference of the Association for Heterodox Economics Conference. If you already plan to be in London for that, please drop in.
The symposium will take the form of four 3-hour sessions. Presentations will provide an introduction for the nonspecialist, and there will be extensive time for questions, debate, audience participation and engagement -- as well as relaxed, convivial meals and coffee breaks.
AGENDA: ======= Monday, 9 July -------------- 9:30 am: SIMON MOHUN (Queen Mary, University of London) "On Two Recent Approaches to Accounting for Marxian Value"
12:30 pm: LUNCH
2:30 pm: ALAN FREEMAN (Economic Advisor, Greater London Authority; and University of Greenwich) "Money: What it is and what it represents"
Tuesday, 10 July ---------------- 9:30 am: ANDREW KLIMAN (Pace University, Pleasantville NY) "Marx's Exploitation Theory of Profit vs Simultaneous Valuation: An unavoidable dilemma"
12:30 pm: LUNCH
2:30 pm: ANDREW BROWN (University of Leeds) "How Marx's Theory of Exploitation Substantiates the Labour Theory of Value"
Venue: ====== Room A165, Queen Anne Court, Maritime Campus, University of Greenwich
Greenwich is now easy to get to (30-40 minutes from central London), with many attractions including not least the Museum of Time, the park, the market, the meridian and observatory, a beautiful stretch of river with plenty of restaurants and pubs and, if you must, the Millennium Dome.
Papers will be available on the IWGVT's website (www.greenwich.ac.uk/~fa03/iwgvt) about two weeks beforehand. If you'd like to be a discussant for any of the papers please tell us. Anything that you'd like to circulate can also be placed on the website. The website also provides a map and directions to the Maritime Campus. If you plan to attend, please drop me a line; I can then send you papers as they come in, and also we can make restaurant bookings for the evening meal(s).
There will be a five pound fee (waived for low-wage participants) to cover our costs, including (we hope) coffee.
How to get there ================
The Maritime campus is five minutes walk from central Greenwich. It is the old Royal Naval College, opposite the Maritime Museum. The entrance closest to Queen Anne Court is in Park Row, which runs between Romney Road (the main road heading East out of Greenwich) and the river.
Transport: ==========
Connex South-East (overground commuter railway) trains call at Greenwich station or at Maze Hill station (one stop further, but slightly closer), leaving every 15-20 minutes from Charing Cross, Waterloo East and London Bridge, and in peak hours from Cannon Street. They take about 20 minutes.
DLR (Docklands Light Railway) trains stop at Greenwich and at Cutty Sark (also slightly closer).
>From North Greenwich Jubilee Line Underground station you can take
any
Greenwich-bound bus (journey time about 5 minutes, frequency every
5
minutes)
The room is in the Queen Anne Court, one of four buildings inside the main campus, which is on your right as you enter from Park Row. The Site Map, available on the website, may help.
Best wishes
