Abstract
To mark the fifth anniversary of the passing of János Kornai, Inalco University is organising a special conference dedicated to his intellectual legacy and the relevance of his ideas today.
Over the course of two hours, internationally renowned experts will examine the key theoretical foundations developed by János Kornai, their influence on contemporary economic thought, and the prospects for applying his theories to the major economic and institutional challenges of the 21st century.
