I’m entirely willing to believe interested specialists knew about this long ago, but I have only now discovered that Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics held a conference in May on a topic that falls well outside that institution’s comfort zone: “The Economic Crisis and its Implications for the Science of Economics.” Here’s the program. Basically it’s a What-Went-Wrong seminar: the biggest economic meltdown in decades just happened, and a lot of serious economists didn’t see it coming. Why not?
