For 32 years, the Summer university of the New Economics has been the
rendez-vous of liberal intellectuals from all over the world.
“New Economics” was the name given by a handful of Professors of
economics in the late 70s to their approach of social phenomena.
They chose that name in order to stress their opposition to what was
then the dominant approach: the centralized, macroeconomic regulation of the
economy.
But they did not stop at criticizing the ongoing governmental policies;
the goal of their meetings was also to share their efforts to reach a better
understanding of those phenomena and consequently to suggest the appropriate reforms.
