Late notice, but New York area readers may be interested to know about a conference titled “Why morality-free economic theory does not work” and offering a “natural law perspective” on the subject. The main speaker is Italian economist Luigno Bruni, author of the recent book The Wound and the Blessing: Economics, Relationships, and Happiness.

It is being held at Marist College in Poughkeepsie this Wednesday at 7:00 pm and at Fordham Law School near Lincoln Center on Thursday night from 6 to 8 p.m. Here’s the information about the Fordham Law School event.
