Abstract

With both an Abstract Book and a Proceedings Book, ISPEST 2025 documented cutting-edge theoretical contributions, empirical research, and normative discussions relevant to Journal of Economic and Social Thought. This set of conference notes presents a synthesis of ISPEST 2025, highlighting central debates, key contributions, methodological innovations, and theoretical advancements in social and economic thought. Core themes included the evolution of economic ideas, social justice and inequality, governance and institutional theory, and interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary societal challenges..
