- History
A Money, Finance and Development seminar series has been going now for over two years, and was extended this year by the addition of seminars on finance linked to the International Initiative for the Promotion of Political Economy (IIPPE). An important aspect of the series has been the focus on monetary theory, the relation of monetary economics to economic development, and recently the role of finance in contemporary capitalism. The international character of these discussions matches the international mission of the Initiative and will attract interest from outside.
