Description
Following up on recent sociological attention to how futures are imagined and how views of the future influence economic and political action, this mini-conference aims to create an interdisciplinary dialog on time horizons presumed or articulated by theorists, professionals, activists, journalists, politicians and others in their public claims-making about economic issues.Questions to be examined include (but are not limited to):
*How are assumptions about the future embedded in public economic debates?
*Do assumptions about time horizons of knowledge influence public debate?
*How do historical narratives influence views of the future in economic action?
*How do policy narratives vary according to the time horizon of outcomes?
*How are ethical principles embedded in assumptions about time horizons?
*What debates are generated by differing time horizons, and views of the future?
