 Dear all,



(please distribute)



This is a first announcement of our upcoming Summer school on ‘Finance and
Ethical Economy’ in Cava di Tirreni, on the Amalfi coast outside Naples- one
of the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean.

Accommodation can be arranged either low cost in a converted monastery, or
in a number of nice hotels at the sea).



(please see attached preliminary program for more details)



The proceedings will take place in said converted monastery and will consist
in 6 morning and afternoon sessions. Rather than the traditional academic
format we will try to make it as interactive a possible, inviting our
speakers to take an active part in discussions. Overall we aim at small,
intimate numbers, around 30 people in order to create  a constructive
climate. In the evening we plan a number of excursion to surrounding places
of interest, like Pompei, Paestum and the Roman Villas along the coast.



The overall theme of the school is Finance and Ethical economy. With this we
mean something along these lines: The neoliberal finance driven model that
has fuelled economic growth over the last three decades is finished. And
there seems to be no viable alternatives around. Neo-liberalism goes on,
like a living dead, without direction and purpose, and everybody waits for
the next ‘convention’ that will miraculously jump-start a finance led growth
regime once more. At the same time, however, development in the field of
social media, p2p systems, and new forms of material production and
distribution are driving both new business models and new ways of
rationalizing an emerging ‘ethical economy’ based on reputation and social
impact. We want to collectively explore the implications of this in terms of
possible suggestions for new ways of reconnecting finance to the ‘productive
economy’ and possible solutions that enable us to put these innovations to
work in addressing our collective needs in terms of sustainability and
global justice.



We aim at an appropriate mix of students, academics and professionals, fees
can be waived in certain cases.
