Summary
This volume is the result of interaction within the invisible college of former colleagues and pupils of John Hicks. In our view, its scope reflects both the breadth of his approach to different research traditions in economics and the lifelong coherence of his commitment to the understanding of a well-defined set of issues centered upon the relationship between rationality and equilibrium, history and time.
Early drafts of all the chapters were presented at the international meeting ‘John Hicks: One Hundredth Anniversary Workshop,’ which was hosted by the Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna on October 10–11, 2004.
It is in the recollection of those days of intense intellectual exchange that we wish to express our gratitude to all the institutions that made both that meeting and the publication of this volume possible. In particular, we are grateful to Banco San Paolo IMI, Turin, and Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna for their enlightened support.
