On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Hyman P. Minsky, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Milan), Università degli Studi di Bergamo, and Università Politecnica delle Marche (Ancona) organize an international conference on “Minsky at 100: Revisiting Financial Instability”. The aim of the conference is to bring together scholars of different traditions/schools of thought to discuss the causes and consequences of financial instability in contemporary economic systems and to assess the legacy of Hyman P.
