About EIPE

I have had the opportunity of being in touch with, and visiting the Erasmus Institute of Philosophy of Economics and I can put on record how impressed I have been with what is being accomplished there in research, teaching, and general intellectual advancement of great social significance.  The activities going on at the EIPE are well conceived and well planned, and skillfully supported and led by experts in both economics and philosophy, to produce achievements of real distinction.
I hope EIPE will continue to play the important role it is presently playing in sophisticated education and momentous research.  It has been my privilege to be associated with the Institute.
