CANCELLED: Equilibrium Modeling in Economics: An Evolutionary Defense. Armin Schulz (University of Kansas) @ NYU Philosophy Dept. rm 302
Oct 9 @ 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm
A traditional evolutionary economic criticism of mainstream economic analysis is that the latter is too strongly focused on equilibrium models and thus fails to do justice to the complex and dynamic nature of real economic systems.

On the other hand, the humanities themselves have contributed to the[...]
