On For the Desk Drawer this week it is great to be able to provide further details on the forthcoming workshop to be held at the University of Sydney on Karl Polanyi and Friedrich Hayek. The workshop is entitled ‘Questioning the Utopian Springs of Market Economy’ and will take place across 15 and 16 August 2014. It is part of a series of new developments this year linked to the Department of Political Economy — part of the School of Social and Political Sciences within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences — not least the fact that the Department of Political Economy will be very soon starting an appointment process for a permanent Lectureship position in Political Economy. There will be more news on that shortly. For the present, though, here are those details on the Polanyi-Hayek workshop.
