Preface to the 4th Edition

Informational Directory for HeterodoxEconomists (hereafter, Directory) was first pub-lished in January 2005 by Fred Lee, Steve Cohn,Goeffrey Schenider, and Paddy Quick. Thesame editors published an updated edition ofthe Directory in May 2005. The third edition(August 2008), edited by Fred Lee, was signif-icantly expanded with new sections on “Intro-duction to Heterodox Economics,” and manyheterodox-oriented websites and institutions.

The Directory together with Heterodox Eco-nomics Newsletter has been a valuable resourcefor heterodox economists and students aroundthe world. It has made a remarkable contribu-tion to the making of more cohesive and friendlycommunity of heterodox economists. To con-tinue the tradition set by former editors and tomake it even more informative, I have updatedthe Directory. The fourth edition has incorpo-rated not only new information announced inthe issues of the Heterodox Economics Newslet-ter published between September 2008 and De-cember 2010, but also many contributions byheterodox economists.

The first two chapters of the Directory are de-voted to heterodox economics programs. In thisedition, 40 heterodox graduate programs and56 undergraduate programs are listed. I be-lieve there are still more heterodox economicsprograms around the world. If your hetero-dox department is not listed here, let us (andothers) know. The chapter on heterodox jour-

nals now includes all 62 major heterodox jour-nals identified in the recent study by Lee andCronin (2010)1 as well as other interdisciplinaryand popular journals (total 152 journals). Inthe following chapter, the list of publishers andbook series has been expanded (31 publishersand 29 book series). In the penultimate chap-ter, heterodox associations, blogs, institutes andother websites are listed with many new ad-ditions. The final chapter, “100 Words onHeterodox Economics,” is new to this edition.This chapter was part of 100th issue of theHeterodox Economics Newsletter (May 2010).To celebrate the 100th issue of the Newsletter,Editors asked about 100 heterodox economistsaround the world, representing their school ofthought, institution, association, country, or re-gion, about the current state and future of het-erodox economics. Although the response ratewas low, we received very interesting and en-lightening responses from prominent heterodoxeconomists. Young heterodox economists, inparticular, should listen to what “old” hetero-dox economists are saying about the current andfuture of heterodox economics.

Lastly, I owe thanks to Nicola Matthews, myfirst graduate student at Buffalo State Collegeand now a doctoral student at the University ofMissouri–Kansas City. Without her assistancethis edition couldn’t be completed.

Preface to the 3rd Edition

The initial impetus for producing the Informa-tional Directory for Heterodox Economists in2004 was to bring together the community ofheterodox economists that was dispersed, far-flung, and segmented. Four years later the com-munity is significantly more cohesive, but theinformation contained in the Directory is stillquite useful for heterodox economists; hence thisnew edition. As noted in the first edition, thefuture of heterodox economics depends on grad-uate programs since this is where future hetero-dox economists are trained and developed. Thusit is vitally important to know which graduateprograms around the world produce heterodoxeconomists in order to direct interested under-graduates to them as well as to hire their grad-uates. From the first edition onward the num-ber of such programs has increased from 22 to31 to 36. On the other hand, many heterodoxeconomists teach in departments that only haveundergraduate programs in economics. Identi-fying these departments where heterodox eco-nomics has a role in the undergraduate eco-nomics program are important for two reasons.The first is that they do provide important andsignificant support for the development of het-erodox economics and the community of hetero-dox economists. Without these departments,heterodox economics would be much worse offif indeed it existed at all. Secondly, since thesedepartments provide a friendly and supportiveenvironment in which one can engage in teach-ing and doing research on heterodox economics,it is important that all young and old heterodoxeconomists know of their existence. In short,departments with just undergraduate programs

in economics are just as differently important asthe departments with graduate programs. Thefirst edition of the Directory did not include un-dergraduate departments, but the second edi-tion did—47 of them; and in this edition 51 arelisted.

It is through journal, books, and other publica-tions that the ideas and arguments of the var-ious heterodox approaches are articulated, de-veloped, and popularized. In the first edition 84journals and by this edition the number has in-creased to 124. Heterodox associations, organi-zations, and research institutes also use e-basednewsletters to make their activities better andmore widely known and accessible. Although e-based newsletters have existed for many years,this category of publication, with ten entries, ap-pears for the first time in this edition of the Di-rectory. Moreover, thirteen heterodox book se-ries were listed in the first edition and by thisedition the number has increased to 24 respec-tively. Book series are associated with publish-ers and publishers that take a particular interestin publishing books on heterodox economics andof interest to heterodox economists may not haveheterodox book series per se. Therefore a newcategory is introduced, that of publishers, whichhas 31 entries.

The web provides the opportunity to make infor-mation available to all heterodox economists eas-ily. In the previous editions of the Directory, useof web-linked material was limited to the Hetero-dox Economics Website (http://www.afee.net).Since web-based information relevant to hetero-

xi

dox economists is so massive, the Directory canno longer ignore it. Therefore it has includedthree new categories: heterodox associations,which have 33 entries with web links (with theexception of two); heterodox/progressive blogswith six entries; and institutes and other web-sites with 55 entries.

When the previous editions of the Directorywere published, I received numerous communi-cations pointing out various omissions, one beinga brief overview of heterodox economics. This isnow corrected with an introductory chapter onheterodox economics. Still, there will be omis-

sions that need redressing. So if you have anysuggestions of how to improve it or of mate-rial that should be included, please e-mail meat leefs@umkc.edu.

The production of the third edition of the Di-rectory is made possible through the collectivecontributions from heterodox economists aroundthe world and through the financial supportfrom Charles Leopold Mayer Foundation for theProgress of Humankind (http://www.fph.ch).

Preface to the 1st & 2nd Editions

The community of heterodox economists is dis-persed, far-flung, and segmented. This Di-rectory is an attempt to lessen this situationby collecting, compiling, and making availableinformation that is relevant to all heterodoxeconomists. We consider the information cho-sen in this endeavor to be the most impor-tant for the heterodox community at large. Inparticular, the material on journals and bookseries was selected since it is through publica-tions that the ideas and arguments of the var-ious heterodox approaches are articulated anddeveloped. Without publications there wouldnot be any heterodox economics. Secondly, theweb provides the opportunity to make informa-tion available to all heterodox economists easily.However, the websites that exist for hetero-dox economists are generally unknown to them.Moreover, many of the websites are underde-veloped. The Heterodox Economics Website(HEW) is an attempt to bring together all ofthe heterodox websites in one place and to in-troduce new website material. HEW is a siteof websites and links. Thus from the HEW youcan find links to other heterodox economic as-sociations, to journals, activist organizations,teaching resources, discussion groups, and muchmore We have included only a limited amountof material from the website in order to indicatewhat the site has. Go surf HEW and see whatyou find–you may be gone for hours or days. Theaddress for the Heterodox Economics Website ishttp://www.orgs.bucknell.edu/afee/hetecon.htm.Graduate programs are where future heterodoxeconomists are trained and developed; hence thecommunity’s future depends on those programs.Thus it is vitally important to know which grad-

uate programs produce heterodox economists inorder to direct interested undergraduates tothem as well as to hire their graduates. On theother hand, many heterodox economists teachin departments that only have undergraduateprograms in economics. Thus, identifying thedepartments where heterodox economics has arole in the undergraduate economics program isimportant for two reasons. The first is that theydo provide important and significant support forthe development of heterodox economics andthe community of heterodox economists. With-out these departments, heterodox economicswould be much worse off if indeed it existedat all. Secondly, since these departments pro-vide a friendly and supportive environment inwhich one can engage in teaching and doing re-search on heterodox economics, it is importantthat all young and old heterodox economistsknow of their existence. In short, departmentswith just undergraduate programs in economicsare just as differently important as Informa-tional Directory for Heterodox Economists thedepartments with graduate programs. Hetero-dox economists should not make hierarchicalinvidious distinctions between the two types ofdepartments–they are all equally important intheir particular ways.

We hope you find the Directory useful. If youhave any suggestions of how to improve it or ofmaterial that should be included, please e-mailFred Lee at leefs@umkc.edu.

Introduction to HeterodoxEconomics

Frederic S. Lee1

Heterodox economics refers to economic theo-ries and communities of economists that arein various ways an alternative to mainstreameconomics. It is a multi-level term that refersto a body of economic theories developed byeconomists who hold an irreverent position vis-a-vis mainstream economics and are typicallyrejected out of hand by the latter; to a com-munity of heterodox economists whom iden-tify themselves as such and embrace a pluralis-tic attitude towards heterodox theories withoutrejecting contestability and incommensurabilityamong heterodox theories; and to the develop-ment of a coherent economic theory that drawsupon various theoretical contributions by het-erodox approaches which stand in contrast tomainstream theory. Thus, this introduction toheterodox economics is organized as follows: thefirst section outlines the emergence of “hetero-dox economics” in the sense of a body of hetero-dox theories; the second deals with heterodoxeconomics as a pluralist community of hetero-dox economists; the third section situates het-erodox economics relative to mainstream eco-nomics; and the fourth section delineates het-

erodox economics in terms of theory and policy.

1.1 Heterodox Economics asa Group of HeterodoxTheories

Heterodox as an identifier of an economic the-ory and/or economist that stands in some formof dissent relative to mainstream economics wasused within the Institutionalist literature fromthe 1930s to the 1980s. Then in 1987, AllanGruchy used heterodox economics to identify In-stitutional as well as Marxian and Post Keyne-sian theories as ones that stood in contrast tomainstream theory. By the 1990s, it became ob-vious that there were a number of theoreticalapproaches that stood, to some degree, in oppo-sition to mainstream theory. These heterodoxapproaches included Austrian economics, fem-inist economics, Institutional-evolutionary eco-nomics, Marxian-radical economics, Post Key-nesian and Sraffian economics, and social eco-

nomics; however, it was not possible to useany of the names of the various heterodox ap-proaches to represent them collectively. Thus,terms, such as non-traditional, non-orthodox,non-neoclassical, non-mainstream, were used tocollectively represent them, but they did nothave the right intellectual feel or a positive ring.Moreover, some thought that political economy(or heterodox political economy) could be usedas the collective term, but its history of be-ing another name for Marxian-radical economics(and its current reference to public choice the-ory) made this untenable. Therefore, to capturethe commonality of the various theoretical ap-proaches in a positive light without prejudiciallyfavoring any one approach, a descriptive termthat had a pluralist ‘big-tent feel’ combined withbeing unattached to a particular approach wasneeded. Hence, ‘heterodox’ became increasinglyused throughout the 1990s in contexts where itimplicitly and/or explicitly referred to a collec-tive of alternative theories vis-a-vis mainstreamtheory and to the economists that engaged withthose theories.

The final stage in the general acceptance of het-erodox economics as the ‘official’ collective termfor the various heterodox theories began circa1999. First there was the publication of PhillipO’Hara’s comprehensive Encyclopedia of Polit-ical Economy (1999), which explicitly broughttogether the various heterodox approaches.

At the same time, in October 1998 Fred Leeestablished the Association for Heterodox Eco-nomics (AHE); and to publicize the conferenceand other activities of the AHE as well as het-erodox activities around the world, he also de-veloped from 1999 to the present an informal‘newsletter’ that eventually became (in Septem-ber 2004) the Heterodox Economics Newsletter,now received by over 3200 economists worldwide(see http://www.heterodoxnews.com ). Thesetwin developments served to establish heterodoxeconomics as the preferred terminology by whichthese groups of economists referred to them-selves.

1.2 Heterodox Economics asa Community of Hetero-dox Economists

Heterodox economics also denotes a communityof heterodox economists, which implies that themembers are not segregated along professionaland theoretical lines. With regard to the seg-regation of professional engagement, except fortwo instances in the mid-1970s, it has not ex-isted among heterodox associations. For ex-ample, from their formation in 1965 - 1970,the three principal heterodox associations in theUnited States, AFEE, ASE, and URPE, openedtheir conferences to Institutionalist, social eco-nomics, radical-Marxian, and Post Keynesianpapers and sessions; appointed and/or electedheterodox economists to the editorial boardsof their journals and to their governing bodieswho also were members of other heterodox as-sociations or engaged with Post Keynesian eco-nomics; and had members who held member-ships in other heterodox associations, engagedwith Post Keynesian economics, and subscribedto more than one heterodox economics jour-nal. Moreover, a number of heterodox associa-tions formed since 1988, such as AHE, EAEPE,ICAPE, SDAE, and SHE, have adopted an ex-plicitly pluralistic approach towards their name,membership, and conference participation—fora list of heterodox associations, dates formed,and primary country or region of activity, seeTable 1. Finally, the informal and explicit edi-torial policies of heterodox journals have, fromtheir formation, accepted papers for publicationthat engage with the full range of heterodox ap-proaches; and this tendency has strengthen sincethe mid-1990s as heterodox economics becamemore accepted. To illustrate, from 1993 to 2003the eight principal English language generalistheterodox journals–Cambridge Journal of Eco-nomics, Capital and Class, Feminist Economics,Journal of Economic Issues, Journal of PostKeynesian Economics, Review of Political Econ-omy, Review of Radical Political Economics, andReview of Social Economy–cited each other soextensively that no single journal or sub-set ofjournals was/were isolated; hence they form an

2

interdependent body of literature where all het-erodox approaches have direct and indirect con-nections with each other. Thus, in terms of pro-

fessional engagement over the last ten years, theheterodox community is a pluralistic integrativewhole.

Theoretical segregation involves the isolation ofa particular theoretical approach and its ad-herents from all other approaches and theiradherents; that is to say, theoretical segre-gation occurs when there is no engagementacross different theoretical approaches. How-ever it does not exist within heterodox eco-nomics currently and nor has it existed inthe past among the various heterodox ap-proaches. From the 1960s through the 1980sheterodox economists engaged, integrated orsynthesized Institutional, Post Keynesian, and

Marxist-radical approaches, Institutional andPost Keynesian approaches, Post Keynesianand Marxian-radical approaches, Post Keyne-sian and Austrian, Austrian and Institutional-ists, Feminist and Marxist-radical approaches,Institutional and Marxist-Radical Approaches,Institutional and Social Economics, ecologicaland Marxian-radical approaches, and social andMarxian economics. Thus by 1990 many het-erodox economists could no longer see distinctboundaries between the various approaches.Moreover, heterodox economics in the 1990s to

3

the present day continued the past integrationefforts of engaging across the various heterodoxapproaches. Hence, it is clear that the hetero-dox community is not segregated along theo-retical lines, but rather there is cross-approachengagement to such an extent that the bound-aries of the various approaches do not simplyoverlap, they are, in some cases, not there atall. The ensuing theoretical messiness of cross-approach engagement is evidence to detractorsof the theoretical incoherence of heterodox eco-nomics whereas to supporters of progress to-wards a more theoretically coherent heterodoxeconomics—a glass half-empty of coherence vs.a glass half-full of coherence.

1.3 Heterodox Critique ofMainstream Economics

Mainstream economics is a clearly defined theo-retical story about how the economy works; butthis story is theoretically incoherent. That is,mainstream theory is comprised of a core setof propositions—such as scarcity, equilibrium,rationality, preferences, and methodological in-dividualism and derivative beliefs, vocabulary,symbols and parables, while there is a range ofheterogeneous theoretical developments beyondthe core that do not call into question the coreitself in totality. As a result, critiques of thetheory vary in that they can deal with the in-ternal coherence and/or empirical grounding ofthe theory, can be directed at the theory at aparticular point in time or at specific compo-nents of theory (such as methodology, conceptsqua vocabulary, parables qua stories, and sym-bols), and can be initiated from a particularheterodox approach. What emerges is a var-ied but concatenate of particular and extensivecritiques that generate an emergent encompass-ing rejection of mainstream theory, although anyone particular critique may not go that far.

Although the internal and story qua model cri-tiques show that the theory is incoherent, theydo not by themselves differentiate mainstream

from heterodox theory. This, however, can bedealt with in terms of specific critiques of thecore propositions. That is, each of the hetero-dox approaches has produced critiques of partic-ular core propositions of the theory, while eachcore proposition has been subject to more thanone critique; in addition, the multiple hetero-dox critiques of a single proposition overlap inargumentation. To illustrate, consider the cri-tiques of the concept of scarcity. The Post Key-nesians argue that produced means of produc-tion within a circular production process cannotbe characterized as scarce and that production isa social process; while Institutionalists reject theview that natural resources are not ‘produced’or socially created to enter into the productionprocess; and the Marxists argue that the con-cept is a mystification and misspecification ofthe economic problem—that it is not the rela-tion of the isolated individual to given resources,but the social relationships that underpin the so-cial provisioning process. The three critiques arecomplementary and integrative and generate thecommon conclusion that the concept of scarcitymust be rejected as well as the mainstream def-inition of economics as the science of the non-social provisioning process analyzed through theallocation of scarce resources among competingends given unlimited asocial wants of asocial in-dividuals. Other critiques of the core proposi-tions exist and arrive at similar conclusions. To-gether the three critiques—internal, story quamodel, and core propositions—form a concate-nated structured heterodox critique that rejectsand denies the truth and value of mainstreamtheory.

1.4 Heterodox Economics:Theory and Policy

Since the intellectual roots of heterodox eco-nomics are located in traditions that emphasizethe wealth of nations, accumulation, justice, so-cial relationships in terms of class, gender, andrace, full employment, and economic and socialreproduction, the discipline of economics, from

4

its perspective, is concerned, not with predic-tion per se, but with explaining the actual pro-cess that provides the flow of goods and servicesrequired by society to meet the needs of thosewho participate in its activities. That is, eco-nomics is the science of the social provisioningprocess, and this is the general research agendaof heterodox economists. The explanation in-volves human agency in a cultural context andsocial processes in historical time affecting re-sources, consumption patterns, production andreproduction, and the meaning (or ideology) ofmarket, state, and non-market/state activitiesengaged in social provisioning. Thus hetero-dox economics has two interdependent parts:theory and policy. Heterodox economic theoryis an empirically grounded theoretical explana-tion of the historical process of social provi-sioning within the context of a capitalist econ-omy. Therefore it is concerned with explain-ing those factors that are part of the processof social provisioning, including the structureand use of resources, the structure and changeof social wants, structure of production and thereproduction of the business enterprise, family,state, and other relevant institutions and orga-nizations, and distribution. In addition, hetero-dox economists extend their theory to examiningissues associated with the process of social pro-visioning, such as racism, gender, and ideologiesand myths. Because their economics involvesissues of ethical values and social philosophyand the historical aspects of human existence,heterodox economists make ethically-based eco-nomic policy recommendations to improve hu-man dignity, that is, recommending ameliorativeand/or radical, social, and economic policies toimprove the social provisioning and hence well-being for all members of society and especiallythe disadvantage members. To do this right,their economic policy recommendations must beconnected to heterodox theory which providesan accurate historical and theoretical picture ofhow the economy actually works—a picture thatincludes class and hierarchical domination, in-equalities, and social-economic discontent.

Given the definition of economics as the scienceof the social provisioning process and the struc-

ture of the explanation of the process combinedwith the pluralistic and integrative proclivitiesof heterodox economists, there has emerged anumber of elements that have come to consti-tute the provisional theoretical and methodolog-ical core of heterodox theory. Some elements areclearly associated with particular heterodox ap-proaches as noted by O’Hara:

The main thing that socialeconomists bring to the study [ofheterodox economics] is an emphasison ethics, morals and justice sit-uated in an institutional setting.Institutionalists bring a pragmaticapproach with a series of conceptsof change and normative theory ofprogress, along with a commitmentto policy. Marxists bring a set oftheories of class and the economicsurplus. Feminists bring a holisticaccount of the ongoing relationshipsbetween gender, class, and ethnic-ity in a context of difference.... Andpost-Keynesians contribute throughan analysis of institutions set in realtime, with the emphasis on effectivedemand, uncertainty and a mon-etary theory of production linkedclosely with policy recommenda-tions. [O’Hara, 2002, p. 61]

However, other provisional elements, such ascritical realism, non-equilibrium or historicalmodeling, the gendering and emotionalizingagency, the socially embedded economy, and cir-cular and cumulative change, emerged from asynthesis of arguments that are associated onlyin part with particular heterodox approaches.

The core methodological elements establish thebasis for constructing heterodox theory. In par-ticular, the methodology emphasizes realism,structure, feminist and uncertain agency qua in-dividual, history, and empirical groundness inthe construction of heterodox theory, which isa historical narrative of how capitalism works.The theory qua historical narrative does not sim-

5

ply recount or superficially describe actual eco-nomic events, such as the exploitation of work-ers; it does more in that it analytically explainsthe internal workings of the historical economicprocess that, say, generate the exploitation ofworkers. Moreover, because of its historical na-ture, the narrative is not necessarily organizedaround the concepts of equilibrium/long periodpositions and tendencies towards them. Becausethe narrative provides an accurate picture ofhow capitalism actually works and changes in acircular and cumulative fashion, economists usetheir theory to suggest alternative paths futureeconomic events might take and propose relevanteconomic policies to take them. In constructingthe narrative, they have at the same time cre-ated a particular social-economic-political pic-ture of capitalism.

The core theoretical elements generate a three-component structure-organization-agency eco-nomic theory. The first component of the theoryconsists of three overlapping interdependenciesthat delineate the structure of a real capitalisteconomy. The first interdependency is the pro-duction of goods and services requires goods andservices to be used as inputs. Hence, with re-gard to production, the overall economy (whichincludes both market and non-market produc-tion) is represented as an input-output matrixof material goods combined with different typesof labor skills to produce an array of goods andservices as outputs. Many of the outputs re-place the goods and services used up in produc-tion and the rest constitute a physical surplus tobe used for social provisioning, that is for con-sumption, private investment, government us-age, and exports. A second interdependencyis the relation between the wages of workers,profits of enterprises, and taxes of governmentand expenditures on consumption, investment,and government goods as well as non-marketsocial provisioning activities. The last interde-pendency consists of the overlay of the flow offunds or money accompanying the productionand exchange of the goods and services. To-gether these three interdependencies produce amonetary input-output structure of the economywhere transactions in each market are a mone-

tary transaction; where a change in price of agood or the method by which a good is pro-duced in any one market will have an indirect ordirect impact on the entire economy; and wherethe amount of private investment, governmentexpenditure on real goods and services, and theexcess of exports over imports determines theamount of market and non-market economic ac-tivity, the level of market employment and non-market laboring activities, and consumer expen-ditures on market and non-market goods andservices. These elements of course have paral-lels in non-heterodox economics, but the ideasare developed in ways that are different.

The second component of heterodox theory con-sists of three broad categories of economic or-ganization that are embedded in the monetaryinput-output structure of the economy. The firstcategory is micro market-oriented, hence par-ticular to a set of markets and products. Itconsists of the business enterprise, private andpublic market organizations that regulate com-petition in product and service markets, and theorganizations and institutions that regulate thewages of workers. The second is macro market-oriented and hence is spread across markets andproducts, or is not particular to any market orproduct. It includes the state and various sub-sidiary organizations as well as particular finan-cial organizations, that is those organizationsthat make decisions about government expen-ditures and taxation, and the interest rate. Fi-nally the third category consists of non-marketorganizations that promote social reproductionand include the family and state and private or-ganizations that contribute to and support thefamily. The significance of organizations is thatthey are the social embeddedness of agency quathe individual, the third component of hetero-dox theory. That is, agency, which are decisionsmade by individuals concerning the social provi-sioning process and social well-being, takes placethrough these organizations. And because theorganizations are embedded in both instrumen-tal and ceremonial institutions, such as gender,class, ethnicity, justice, marriage, ideology, andhierarchy qua authority, agency qua the individ-ual acting through organizations affect both pos-

6

itively and negatively but never optimally thesocial provisioning process.

1.5 Conclusion

If mainstream economics suddenly disappeared,heterodox economics would be largely unaf-fected. It would still include the various het-erodox traditions; there would still be a inte-grated professional and theoretical communityof heterodox economists; and its heterodox re-search agenda would still be directed at explain-ing the social provisioning process in capitalisteconomies and argue for economic policies thatwould enhance social well-being. In this regard,heterodox economics is not out to reform main-stream economics. Rather it is an alternative tomainstream economics: an alternative in termsof explaining the social provisioning process andsuggesting economic policies to promote socialwell-being. Over the past decade the commu-nity of heterodox economics has grown, diver-sified, and integrated. The previously isolatedare now part of a community; heterodox asso-ciations exist in countries where previously noheterodox associations had existed; and devel-opments in heterodox theory and policy are oc-curring at breakneck speed. In short, heterodoxeconomics is now an established feature on thedisciplinary landscape and the progressive futureof economics.

Heterodox Graduate Programs

The programs listed below include in their curricula a variety of theoretical perspectives and maybe of interest to those interested in pursuing heterodox economics at the graduate/post-graduatelevel.1

2.1 American University, US

The Department of Economics offers a Ph.D. degree with programs of study in either politicaleconomy or traditional economic theory. The neoclassical and Keynesian traditions form the coreof economic theory taught by the Department of Economics. Our uniquely pluralistic approachto economics encompasses a range of other perspectives, including Post Keynesian, Institution-alist, and post-Marxian economic theories. Our program emphasizes international and economicpolicy perspectives. Specialized course offerings include the economics of gender, the economicsof transition economies, economic methodology, monetary economics, public finance, economicdevelopment, labor economics, industrial organization, international trade, international finance,econometrics, economic history, and mathematical economics.

The diverse theoretical approaches are combined with solid training in empirical methods whichprepare graduates for teaching in colleges and universities, research positions in government de-partments or consulting firms, and policy making. Our Washington DC location gives studentsexcellent access to government agencies such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics and think tankssuch as the Economic Policy Institute and the Institute of International Economics. These agenciesgive students special opportunities for internships and part-time employment as well as the chanceto hear and speak with economists dealing with today’s national and international economic issues.

2.2 Buffalo State College, US

The Economics and Finance Department at Buffalo State College offers a Master’s of Arts degreein Applied Economics with an emphasis on pluralistic approaches to economic theory and policy.We have two tracks; one in economic policy analysis and the other in financial economics. We havefourteen members in our faculty. Our faculty includes Post-Keynesian, Institutional, Marxist andNeoclassical economists. Our program has four core courses. These are the History of EconomicThought, Applied Microeconomic Theory, Applied Macroeconomic Theory, and Applied Econo-metrics. Our program encompasses Post Keynesian, Marxist, and Institutionalist approaches aswell as the neoclassical approach. This mix improves students’ critical understanding of economictheory and applications. The program’s orientation toward application as opposed to pure the-ory enhances opportunities for graduates in a broad range of occupations and institutions. Theseinclude financial institutions, business, private and public sector policy-oriented and communityservice occupations, economic and financial consulting, and high school economics and social stud-ies education. Several of our graduates have gone on to enter Ph.D. programs in economics.

We currently have about 45 students in the program. Every year we have 5 to 10 new graduatestudents and the number has been growing in recent years. Students have the option of goingeither part time or full time and all of our classes are held in the evening. The newly establishedresearch center, the Center for Economic and Policy Studies, provides research projects that enablesome of our full time graduate students to obtain research assistantships.

2.3 Colorado State University, Fort Collins, US

The graduate program of the Department of Economics integrates rigorous training in quantitativemethods with a broad, historically-grounded and critical approach to research and teaching thatencompasses a plurality of perspectives and streams of economic thought. M.A. students arerequired to take core courses in each of the fields of macroeconomics, microeconomics, econometricsand political economy. PhD students take an additional advanced course in each of these fields.Beyond the core, students have a great deal of flexibility in selecting their fields of emphasisand research. The program has two main foci - political economy and regional economics. Theheterodox political economy component of the program has traditionally been active in the fieldsof radical economics and institutional economics. In recent years, this dynamic and evolvingprogram has been complemented by faculty working in the fields of feminist, structuralist, post-Keynesian, and Marxist economics, with an overall focus on international economics and economicdevelopment. This foundation prepares students for research and teaching positions in colleges anduniversities, research positions in government and the private sector, as well as for policy-relatedwork with labor, environmental and international policy organizations.

2.5 New School University, US

The Department of Economics offers a broad and critical approach to the study of economicscovering a wide range of schools of thought, including Keynesian and post-Keynesian economics,the classical political economy of Smith, Ricardo, Marx, and Structuralist and Institutionalist ap-proaches to economics, and neoclassical economics. The courses of study emphasize the historicalroots of economic ideas, their application to contemporary economic policy debates, and conflictingexplanations and interpretations of economic phenomena, within the context of a rigorous trainingin the conceptual, mathematical and statistical modeling techniques that are the common method-ological basis of contemporary economic research. The department’s work centers on the emergingshape of the world economy, its financial markets and institutions; the problems of regulating andguiding economic development in the advanced industrial world and emerging markets; the sourcesof instability and complexity in economic systems; and the economic aspects of class, gender andethnic divisions.

The aim of the Economics Department is to put what Robert Heilbroner calls “the worldly philoso-phy” –informed, critical and passionate investigation of the economic foundations of contemporarysociety – at the heart of the educational and research enterprise.

21

sound foundations in mainstream economics (theory and techniques) with thorough presentationof alternative perspectives, including classical political economy, Marxist economics, and Keynesianand Post-Keynesian approaches. The aim is to enable students actively to engage with contem-porary mainstream economics while also equipping them with the tools and insights provided byalternative theoretical systems of thought in economics. Against this broad background, the par-ticular expertise of SOAS arises from its long-standing preoccupation with the political economy ofeconomic development. Thus, students at all degree levels have access to a unique pool of regionalexpertise and can take course options that cover diverse aspects of economic and social develop-ment in Africa, Asia and Latin America. At the postgraduate level, our commitment to criticalengagement with mainstream economics while also studying the political economy of developmentis reflected in cutting-edge research into alternatives – both at the level of theory and of eco-nomic policy responses. Innovative MSc courses develop new approaches to themes such as ‘goodgovernance’, ‘rent-seeking’, ‘financial system design’, and the role of ‘social and cultural capital’in shaping a new economic world order. A strong body of PhD students is currently developingsome of these ideas as well as undertaking research on better-established topics in developmenteconomics.

2.25 Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia

Technology Governance is an approach and a set of policies undertaken by the public and privatesector and society actors in a given space in time to develop a knowledge base, social cohesion andcompetitiveness at the same time. So far, both in academic research and in policy advice, theseaspects have tended to be separated. The Technology Governance program at Tallinn Universityof Technology is designed to bridge these gaps and to focus on research, teaching, and advice inan interrelated way. Our one-year Masters program in Technology Governance is a technology-focused special graduate degree that could be placed in such areas as Innovation Policy, IndustrialPolicy and Development Economics as a realistic alternative to mainstream (“Standard Textbook“)Economics. Our curriculum includes the theory of uneven development and the history of economicpolicy. In that sense, this is the international Innovation Policy and High-Tech program with a solidfoundation in history and theory, embedded in an exciting environment, that so many studentsand scholars were always looking for yet could not find!

2.26 University of Athens, Greece

The University of Athens Doctoral Program in Economic (UADPhilEcon) is committed to ap-proaching economics as a social science, combining advanced mainstream theory and applied workwith a critical edge made possible by a serious engagement with the philosophical, political andhistorical implications of economic ideas and techniques. UADPhilEcon is committed to a rigorousbut also critical approach to economic theories. The program is founded on the conviction thatthe best thinker is one who knows not only the theory and its applications but also one who un-derstands the untested assumptions on which it has been built as well as the social and historicalorigins of these assumptions. UADPhilEcon aims at eliciting deep thinking and a pluralism ofmind that equips its graduates with the capacity to transcend the limits of any rigid explanatorysystem. While the exposition of many models requires a mathematical approach, UADPhilEconalso aspires to embed in students the sense of wonder that any social scientist must feel when facedwith the complexity and inherent unpredictability of the human condition. A small number ofstudents are admitted each year. Applications from outside of Greece (by Greek and non-Greekcandidates alike) are actively encouraged. It is a policy of UADPhilEcon to charge no fees eitherto Greek or to non-Greek students.

Each student will pursue their particular interests in politicaleconomy through one of four pathways:

- Theoretical Political Economy- Political Economy of Society, Space and Environment- Political Economy of Finance, Business and Work- Political Economy of Development.

Each pathway offers courses drawn from across the different disciplines in the schools, offering thestudent a unique exposure to the full breadth of the field of political economy. The research routeis an ESRC recognized 1 + 3 programme which offers training in both quantitative and qualitativeresearch methods that prepare students for doctoral research.

3.4 Connecticut College, US

In spite of being only 8 people, a wide variety of interests and points of view are represented inthe department, including Marxist, Post-Keynesian, and neo-classical. These varied viewpointsfind their ways into many of our courses, but they do not affect the working environment. We arebasically a congenial group of faculty whose research and teaching interests do not much overlap.Because we are a liberal arts college, we get a lot of students for whom Economics is a surrogatebusiness major, one perceived as “relevant” and helpful in securing work. The major itself is prettytraditional, and many courses count toward other majors at the college, including InternationalRelations and Environmental Studies. Most courses have a significant policy orientation, informedby departmental expertise on environmental and labor issues, plus experience in Africa, LatinAmerica, and Vietnam. When the department fills new positions, it looks for fields and expertise,not ideology.

3.11 Hampshire College, US

Students at Hampshire College design their own major field of study, with an emphasis on criticalthinking and writing. Within the social sciences they often choose political economy as a core com-ponent of their concentration, which may address such areas as “Public Health in Latin America,”“Economics and the Environment,” or “Women and Social Change.” Students who plan graduatestudy in economics will take the expected courses in economic theory and mathematics. We teacheconomics in historical and social context, challenging the narrowness of mainstream approaches,but drawing on economic reasoning and concepts that bridge both orthodox and heterodox modesof inquiry. As well, students may freely enroll in courses at Smith, Amherst, Mt Holyoke, or theUniversity of Massachusetts, where a range of fine courses in political economy can be added totheir program of study. The capstone of a Hampshire career is a year-long senior research projectthat results in an extended essay of 60 to 100 pages. Typically, students in political economy selectwell-defined topics within such areas as globalization, labor organizing, community development,campaign finance, prisons, international economic development, and alternative business.

3.18 The University of Michigan, US

From the early 1970s until the early 1990s the Economics Department at the University of Michiganwas one of the few nationally prominent departments offering the opportunity to pursue radicaleconomics: it had a graduate program field called Political Economy and a regularly-offered un-dergraduate course in Marxist Economics, as well as versions of several more standard coursesincorporating left-heterodox perspectives. Although the graduate field no longer exists and theMarxist Economics course has not been taught for some time, it remains true that undergraduatescan include within an economics major courses in development economics, economic history, thehistory of economic thought, economic policy, and philosophy & economics that present distinctlycritical heterodox viewpoints. Outside of the Economics Department undergraduates can find aconsiderable range of courses more or less complementary to radical economics – most especiallyin the Residential College, but also in the Philosophy, Sociology, Anthropology, and History De-partments and in the Women’s Studies, American Culture and Afroamerican & African StudiesPrograms. Michigan retains as well a vibrant undergraduate left-political milieu, with a particu-larly strong focus on labor issues.

3.25 Rollins College, US

Rollins College, a comprehensive liberal arts college, has 1750 fulltime undergraduate students. Theeconomics department, currently with 8 full time faculty serving 80-100 junior/senior majors, hasoffered heterodox courses and introduced alternative economic perspectives in traditional coursesfor two decades. Recently, a new three-course sequenced introduction to the major was created:a historical approach presenting key tools and concepts(mostly orthodox but some heterodox),amicro/macro survey using some of the earlier heterodox material and an alternative economicperspectives course which examines important economic policy issues from several ideological views.Some upper level courses require all three as prerequisites. Consensus on concepts and tools inthe three-course sequence was achieved with weekly discussions for a year, and these continue.Each course leaves space for individual faculty to introduce their own content. The goal is toexpose the student to a broader understanding of economics so that upper level courses, including

39

intermediate macro and micro, can address ideas and issues from a variety of positions, and providestudents the opportunity to gain greater facility with critical thinking. The evolution of the majoris ongoing, responding both to the teaching experience of the faculty and the feedback receivedfrom students.

The Department (with five and one-half faculty mem-bers) is housed in the College of Arts and Sciences where we offer a variety of options for studentsworking to complete general education courses. At the one-hundred level, for example, we havea variety of innovative course offerings that includes several with the provocative title “CriticalThinking About...,” “the Economics of Race and Gender,” “the Economics of Health Care,” “Eco-nomic Democracy” or “Economics and Business.” Also at the one hundred level we teach “A NovelApproach to Economics.” A three hundred level course in “Political Economy” is required for boththe BA and the BS. Faculty are encouraged to develop upper level courses that challenge studentsto bring neoclassical and heterodox economic approaches into conversation... thus we presumethat students will learn and understand both the received doctrines of the discipline, the majorcritiques of the orthodoxy, and the positive contributions of alternative approaches.

3.31 Stetson University, US

The Economics Department has gone through a transformation, and is in the process of renamingitself to “Humane Economics Department” to reflect a more complete image of self and society.Unlike the Darwinist assumptions of conventional economics, a humane economics curriculum rec-ognizes that humans possess the all-encompassing attributes of competition and cooperation, trustand distrust, and are conflicting as well as compassionate. Further, humans not only tend to ac-tively work towards material welfare, but also aspire towards the non-material, and the study ofeconomics has to integrate self and society into a complex analysis of how humans can consciouslyforge ahead to a better world for self and others. Our curriculum therefore includes core conven-tional economics courses, but also offers courses such as “Introduction to Humane Economics”,“Economics, Freedom and Human Values”, and “Poverty and Microcredit.” Students are alsorequired to participate in our Microcredit Program, CHOMI, which is the only university basedmicrocredit program in the world. In this program, students teach business development work-shops to poor entrepreneurs in the local African-American community, and support clients as theydevelop their businesses. This latter component of our program has been a vital learning tool ofreal world economics for our students.

3.34 Texas Christian University, US

The faculty of the Economics Department at TCU takes very seriously the teacher-scholar modeland the ideals of a liberal arts education. We view teaching as our most important job and en-courage our students to explore alternative points of view and to develop the tools necessary forindependent analysis of economic arguments. While our course descriptions sound very standard,we have built a faculty wherein neoclassicists are in the minority. Hence, one might take aneconomic history course with a New Institutionalist, intermediate micro with an Austrian, de-velopment theory with a Post Keynesian, intermediate macro with a Marxist, and internationalmonetary economics with an “Old” Institutionalist (it is very likely that we will soon develop acourse with a feminist bent, as well). We offer three degrees: a BA, a BS, and a BS in InternationalEconomics (the last is new and has become very popular). Students pursuing either BS have acapstone course. Economics also has a dedicated computer lab. We are a very collegial group andare known for being very student friendly.

The Economics Department is fairly diverse in terms of faculty. We had three active members ofthe International Association for Feminist Economists (one just retired) and two faculty memberswho would consider themselves to be heterodox economists. We offer a regular course on PoliticalEconomy by a faculty member who has written a text on the subject, as well as a course oncomparative economic systems, history of thought, and women in the US economy. The facultymembers are quite active as a group and although the majority come from neoclassical backgrounds,they are open to discussion. We are working on building the major and creating a capstone course,but this is not yet completed. We recently revamped the two principles courses completely, movingaway from the standardized approaches.

3.41 Worcester Polytechnic Institute, US

Worcester Polytechnic Institute is the third oldest university of engineering, science, and technol-ogy in the United States. It is located 40 miles from Boston and is the place where Robert Goddardreceived his undergraduate training and conducted his first experiments in modern rocketry. TheDepartment of Social Science & Policy Studies at WPI offers bachelor of science degrees in “Eco-nomic Science,” “Psychological Science,” and “System Dynamics.” The theme of the EconomicScience program is “heterodox & computational economics.” In addition to traditional training inneoclassical economics and econometrics, students can study the history of economic thought, eco-nomic methodology, Post Keynesian economics, institutional economics, economics & psychology,and Marxian economics. Further, the program emphasizes the use of cutting-edge computationaltools (e.g., system dynamics computer simulation modeling, agent-based modeling, neural net-works) for the creation of economic models that are based on economic reality and actual humandecision making. At all times, the program emphasizes policy design and the improvement of realeconomic systems. WPI’s undergraduate program is project-based. In addition to their course-work, all students must complete three major projects. The sophomore-year project (equivalentto six courses) is in the humanities, the junior-year project (equivalent to three courses) examinesthe interaction of technology and society in some fashion, and the senior-year project (equivalentto three courses) is in the student’s major area of study. Frequently, WPI students conduct theirprojects off campus at a WPI project center in another country. Economic Science majors have, forexample, used system dynamics computer simulation modeling to (1) examine sustainable wateruse and farming policies in Australia, (2) develop sustainable fishing policies in Norway, and (3)analyze the effects of urban transportation systems on sustainable development in Brazil. Otheropportunities include project work with the Millennium Institute of Arlington, Virginia (with di-rect ties to the World Bank, IMF, and the Carter Center), and the Center for Full Employmentand Price Stability at the University of Missouri - Kansas City.

3.44 University of Athens, Greece

The Department of Economics at the University of Athens has a long tradition of teaching eco-nomics as a social science. Indeed, first year students still take two semester courses in PoliticalEconomy, in addition to the traditional Economic Analysis Ec101-type courses. Another interest-ing departure from mainstream formats is that students are obliged to take courses in Economicand Social History (taught by historians) and Mathematics (taught by mathematicians, rather thanby economists). In addition, the Department offers (A) three more Political Economy courses, (B)two electives in Marxist Economics, (C) two electives in the History of Economic Thought, plus(D) a number of courses on the philosophy of science and economic methodology. The Departmentinvites outside speakers at least twice a year. Last year, in association with our Doctoral Program(see www.UADPhilEcon.gr) we hosted Professors Joseph Halevi (Sydney), Christian Arnsperger(Louvain), Anwar Shaikh (New School), David Laibman (CUNY) and Tony Lawson (Cambridge).Please note that most courses are taught in Greek but that there are a number of courses in Englishwhich are aimed at Erasmus students.

The Department of Economics offers a 3-year B.A. degree, a 4-year B.A. (Advanced) degree,and a 4-year B.A. (Honours) degree in Economics. The broad, pluralistic composition of theEconomics faculty at Manitoba enables the department to offer a range of undergraduate coursesthrough which students are exposed to both mainstream and alternative approaches to economics.These include institutionalist, Post-Keynesian, and Marxist approaches, as well as the neoclassicalmainstream. Selected courses in economic history are available at the second and third year level,but attention is given to the institutional and historical framework in the intermediate theorycourses as well as in many other, more specialized courses. All honours students are requiredto have at least one course in alternative macroeconomic theory, and they are also required tocomplete a full course in the history of economic thought.

The stimulating intellectual environment at Manitoba is further enhanced through the activities ofthe University of Manitoba Undergraduate Economics Society. This student organization providesa range of activities for its members and the larger university community, including a speakerseries, a reading room, tutoring services and its own highly acclaimed magazine, The InvisibleHand. Students can also benefit from the department’s close association with the Labour andWorkplace Studies Program and with the Global Political Economy Program, both of which areestablished interdisciplinary programs at the University of Manitoba. For Honours students, thereis a monthly Honours Salon, in which students hold informal discussions on selected topics in arelaxed environment. The department also sponsors an annual two-day retreat on Lake Manitobaat which Honours students present and discuss their own papers and research.

3.48 Universidas Autonoma Metropolitana, Campus Xochim-ilco, Mexico

Universidad AutoNoma Metropolitana, Campus Xochimilco, in Mexico City has three campusesand in all of them the programs in economics can be considered heterodox because they includesome courses on classical economics and Marxism. But the program at the Xochimilco campus isa lot more open. To begin with, the program is built around “problems” not “theoretical fields”like “macro”. For example, the first course on macroeconomics deals with Keynes’s views aboutcrisis and the need of public intervention. The theory of prices comprises two subjects, one froma neoclassical view and another from a classical-Marxian view. Macroeconomics is studied in twosubjects, one is strictly orthodox, the second Post Keynesian. International economics is taughtwith a strong emphasis on the problems of globalisation and underdevelopment.Our students arerequested to produce a short “research” paper every term, in which they work on a particular issue

49

which is relevant to the subject they are studying. Generally this makes them a lot more sensitiveto complex social realities.

Our undergraduate course of Economics integrates an historical approach and solid training inempirical methods from a critical perspective in the study of economic theory. We emphasize thehistorical roots of economic ideas and their application to international contemporary economicpolicy debates, linking economic, political and social perspectives. The program strengths arein the areas of economic history, economic development, and international economics becauseit is deeply committed to analyze the specific nature of capitalist expansion in underdevelopedcountries, particularly in Brazil, so as to discuss policy implications. In the core theory courses,students are provided a critical review of neoclassical theory and then introduced to heterodoxapproaches to macroeconomics, microeconomics and political economy. Our courses cover a widerange of school of thought: Keynesian and Post Keynesianism, the classical political economy ofSmith, Ricardo, Marx, besides the contributions of neoclassical and Institutional economists. Theprogram combines the possibility of taking courses in specialized fields, such as: Finance, PublicPolicy, Agricultural Economics, Urban and Regional Economics, Labor Economics, Business andIndustrial Organization, Economics of Environmental Resources. Our goal is to help students todevelop knowledge and skills in heterodox economic theory and in economic and social issues.

There are several Marxists and heterodox economists within the economics ‘team’ at NottinghamTrent University. Our more mainstream colleagues do not hate us, and generally enjoy working inan open and inclusive environment. Many compulsory and optional modules on the economics un-dergraduate degrees include heterodox content — in particular, Austrian, Institutionalist, Marxistand Post Keynesian ideas. We also offer dedicated modules on Political Economy and Critique ofPolitical Economy, the latter essentially organized as a Capital reading group.With members ofthe university’s Politics ‘team’ we share the teaching on an honours degree in Political Economy.

In addition to offering undergraduate degrees with a heterodox content, we also offer a masterscourse which is similarly pluralist and can provide PhD supervision on topics from a heterodoxeconomic perspective. We have fairly regular staff seminars. Recent speakers include Philip Arestis,Keith Cowling, Ben Fine and Malcolm Sawyer.

3.53 Roma Tre University, Italy

Since its constitution (1992) the Faculty of Economics at the Roma Tre University has one ofits distinctive marks in the pluralistic attitude towards the teaching of economics. In particular,courses are offered in which, alongside neoclassical economics, classical economic theory is alsotaught. The teachers involved include: P. Garegnani, R. Ciccone, A. Stirati, A. Palumbo, A.Trezzini, and S. Levrero. These people also collaborate with the Centro Ricerche e Documentazione“Piero Sraffa” (www.sraffa.uniroma3.it), a Foundation set up within the Faculty, which collectsbibliographical material and supports research and didactic activity in the fields of the reappraisaland development of the classical approach and the critique of neoclassical theory.

According to the organization of University degrees recently introduced in Italy, a first level degree(3 years), with more basic contents, is followed by a second level degree (2 years), in which coursesare offered of deeper and more specialist character.

First level coursesMacroeconomicsSubject: the broad frameworks of both Keynesian and orthodox macroeconomic theories, with

51

hints.to the criticism which can be addressed to the latter with regard to investment as a functionof the rate of interest.

MicroeconomicsSubject: basic elements of the Classical theory of distribution and relative prices, including Sraffa’ssystem of price equations; basic elements of the neoclassical theory of distribution and relativeprices, including a simplified representation of the general equilibrium system; standard partialequilibrium analysis; hints to the critique of the neoclassical treatment of ‘capital’.

Political Economy, intermediate courseSubject: study of neoclassical general equilibrium; criticism of the neoclassical treatement of capi-tal, including reswitching and reverse capital deepening; implications of the criticism for orthodoxmacroeconomic theory, as well as the reappraisal of the Keynesian principle of effective demandand its extension to the analysis of accumulation.

History of Economic ThoughtSubject: evolution of Classical political economy (Quesnay, Smith, Ricardo, Marx, Sraffa); theeconomic and political debate during the 20 years after the death of Ricardo (the ‘RicardianSocialists’ and the reactions to them), and the start of the abandonment of the classical approach;the ‘transition’ period; the birth and affirmation of neoclassical theory; the breaks in the dominanceof neoclassical theory (Keynes, Sraffa).

Second level coursesIn the second level courses the subjects of the first level courses are deepened and extended onthe theoretical as well applied grounds. The critical analysis of general equilibrium theory, inparticular, includes here the modern versions of the theory, namely inter-temporal as well astemporary general equilibria.

3.55 University of Sydney, Australia

The University of Sydney is the principal centre for the study of alternatives to orthodox eco-nomics in Australia. Sydney itself is a great city, and the University of Sydney is located close tothe city centre, convenient for cultural, entertainment and sporting facilities.It is at this Univer-sity that struggles against the dominance of conventional economics were led by progressive staffand students from the 1970s onwards, leading to the establishment of a full program of PoliticalEconomy courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Students can study Marxist,institutional, feminist, environmental and post-Keynesian economics and see how a blend of theseapproaches helps to understand how the modern capitalist economy works. The Department ofPolitical Economy is in the School of social and Political Sciences, which encourages students tocombine political economy with other subjects like government and international relations; sociol-ogy; anthropology; psychology; history; geography; languages or other areas, according to personalinterests. Students can take a Bachelor’s degree in Arts; Economics and Social Sciences; or Inter-national and Global Studies. These degrees are normally taken over 3 years, with the option of afurther year to complete the honours program. The first year of study in political economy includesan introduction to Classical, Marxian, Neoclassical and Keynesian political economic ideas. Theintroductory undergraduate textbook, written by one of the academic staff, sums up this approachin its title: Political Economy: the Contest of Economic Ideas. Building on this foundation, sub-sequent electives can be taken on topics such as economy and society; international economy andfinance; economic policy in global context; political economy of development; political economy ofhuman rights; political economy of the environment; and economic and the social foundations ofmodern capitalism. The teaching of political economy encourages all students to develop a criticalengagement with economic issues, recognizing the diversity of analytical approaches and how theserelate to different social values. Graduates from the program go on to a wide range of careers - injournalism, public service, teaching,working in NGOs and with international agencies, for example.The Journal of Australian Political Economy contains articles useful to students: www.jape.org

The peer-reviewed AJES welcomes any submission that critically investigates the social provision-ing process utilizing different theoretical and methodological approaches; that engages in criticalanalysis and empirical studies of current social-economic micro and macro policies affecting thesocial provisioning process; and that evaluates past and current intellectual arguments and disci-plinary developments primarily in economics and sociology (but also in the related disciplines ofanthropology, political science, and law) which had or currently have an impact on understandingand investigating the social provisioning process. Articles that offer an interdisciplinary perspec-

55

tive are encouraged. For policy-oriented articles, it is appropriate and encouraged to discuss thepublic policy implications (if any) of the findings.

The AJES also has a ’Comment and Analysis’ feature that allows scholars to ‘sound off’ aboutevents so long as the ideas are presented in a logical and coherent framework, references areprovided, and the whole project amounts to an interesting essay in persuasion presented in amature professional way.

Each year AJES issues a special supplementary issue to all subscribers containing an importantand interesting monograph in an ongoing series entitled Studies in Social Reform and EconomicJustice. In addition, each year there may be one issue is entirely devoted to an important thematictopic and scholars are invited to contribute from all around the world.

4.39 New School Economic Review

At a time of declining representation of critical thinking in economics, the New School EconomicReview aims to be a student-run journal with a content influenced by the history and traditionof the New School.

The early Classical thinkers—Smith, Ricardo and Marx—realized that thestudy of economics must be the study of political economy—economics within a social and politicalcontext. In keeping with this tradition, the New School Economic Review will serve as a mediumfor critical thinking in economics but with a multidisciplinary perspective encompassing all thesocial sciences. Furthermore, the NSER will aim to develop a forum for professors, practitioners,and students to discuss current issues in the discipline of economics while sharing insights fromother disciplines, as well as debating world political and social affairs.

Se trata de un esfuerzo acad emico y universitariorespaldado por un numeroso grupo de investigadores cuya trayectoria en el analisis de estos temasse remonta a mas de dos d ecadas.

4.47 Problemas del Desarrollo

Hacia finales de 1969, momento en que aparece el primer numero de Problemas del Desarrollo, Re-vista Latinoamericana de Economıa, el entonces Comit e Editorial, formado por Alonso Aguilar,Miguel Angel Bassols, Jos e Luis Cecena, Roberto Martnnez Le Clainche, Ramon Ramırez Gomezy Ricardo Torres Gaitan y bajo la direccion del maestro Fernando Carmona de la Pena consider-aron la creacion de este organo acad emico como una prioridad importante para incorporar a laeconomıa al estudio de los fenomenos del desarrollo dentro de la llamada “teorıa del desarrollo”. Eltrabajo interdisciplinario se hacıa entonces como indispensable y al que debıan abocarse economis-tas como los que en ese momento creaban esta revista como una forma de dialogar con sociologose historiadores. Los trabajos que aparecen en este primer numero son pioneros a este respecto.

Desde entonces la revista Problemas del Desarrollo, en sus hoy 36 anos de existencia, fue atendiendolos compromisos contraıdos para servir de foro a todas aquellas aportaciones que indagaban, sobretodo para el espacio latinoamericano y, en especial, el de M exico los obstaculos al desarrollo.Muchas de estas significaron verdaderos hitos en los avances teoricos. Enumerarlas es una tareaque escapa a las posibilidades de este breve evento, ello no quiere decir de ningun modo ignorarlas.En sus paginas queda memoria de los diferentes procesos de transformacion economica que fueronacaeciendo en una gran parte de los paıses latinoamericanos y tambi en de las relaciones entre M

72

exico y sus mas cercanos vecinos del norte. Al mismo tiempo, la revista dio testimonio a trav es demuchos de los crıticos de la economıa neoclasica de algunas de las mas importantes aportaciones queen los setenta empezaron a cuestionar desde los angulos de la economıa pol’tica algunos modelosque ya para entonces manifestaron sus flaquezas.

Desde noviembre de 2002 nos unimos al esfuerzo de la institucion para ir creando y recreando losproblemas del desarrollo con el fin de incorporar en este foro aquellas colaboraciones que lamundializacion economica nos va imponiendo como deberes para inventar y reformar los subsis-temas dentro de las diferentes teorıas cientıficas. Mientras en los setenta la funcion del Estado sevislumbraba como parte indispensable de la marcha de las economıas del entonces tercer mundohoy es necesario volver a revisarla y advertir de su debilitamiento en funcion de la creciente de-sigualdad social que dıa a dıa contemplamos. Cualquier espacio socioeconomico nacional es hoyuna parte integrante del todo en el nivel mundial. El pensamiento crıtico motor en la creacion deuna revista como Problemas del Desarrollo fue y seguira siendo una de las vertientes de analisisprincipales de este foro, y mediante el, se incorporaran nuevas herramientas para explicar las difer-entes razones que promueven la inequidad social. Nuestras instituciones publicas de educacionsuperior estan obligadas a dar respuesta a muchas de las interrogantes que presenta el desarrolloeconomico en la etapa de la llamada globalizacion.

4.49 Real-World Economics Review

The Real-World Economics Review (formerly the Post-Autistic Economics Review) is an email-delivered economics journal working against economics’ “uncontrolled use” and treatment of math-ematics as “an end in itself”, and the resulting “autistic science”, the repressive domination ofneoclassical theory and derivative approaches in the curriculum, and the dogmatic teaching style,which leaves no place for critical and reflective thought. PAER favors engagement with empiri-cal and concrete economic realities, prioritizing science over scientism, a pluralism of approachesadapted to the complexity of economic objects and to the uncertainty surrounding most of thebig economics questions, and initiating reforms to rescue economics from its autistic and sociallyirresponsible state.

In a period such as our own, where paradigms whichonce seemed unshakeable are now being challenged, a multidisciplinary analysis of the historicaldevelopment of economics might contribute to shedding light on the issues at the root of currentdebate.

4.87 Journal of Innovation Economics

Innovation is defined by the creation and commercialization of a new product and new technologies,the use of new production processes and labour inputs or the entering in new markets. Knowl-edge economy implies that innovation is more and more the outcome of interaction between firms,universities, public institutions and consumers. Networks of innovation create new knowledge and

86

commercialise it, embodied in new modes of production and distribution. Innovation stems fromtechnological, organizational and distributional change. Journal of Innovation Economics is a lieuof discussion of new innovation strategies of firms and organization which have an impact on theeconomy and society. How do firms conceive innovation processes? How does innovation impacton firms’ competitiveness and performance? The journal hosts contributions to the analysis ofthe realisation of innovation, strategies of appropriation and those of diffusion of knowledge atan international scale, where MNCs dominate the competition context and high skilled humanresources are a precious asset to survive. JIE readers will enjoy as well discussions on the mostappropriate management tools to have a better understanding of how to operationalise and imple-ment innovation. JIE is keen in promoting a multidisciplinary approach and methodology whichillustrate firms’ technological opportunities, organizational strategies and integrated managementof research and development projects, marketing and finance. JIE is devoted to promote a de-bate on innovation, both theoretical and empirical. Technological change, entrepreneurship, firmsstrategies, public policies and more in general the evolution of the economies and societies are theissues to be explored within JIE.

Interdisciplinary Journals

4.91 Affinities: A Journal of Radical Theory, Culture, andAction

Affinities is a web-based journal that focuses on groups, movements, and communities that set outto construct sustainable alternatives to the racist, hetero-sexist, system of liberal-capitalist nation-states. We are interested in questions such as: What kind of experiments are out there, beyond thestate and corporate forms? How are they working, what obstacles are they encountering? What arepeople doing to emulate their successes and avoid their failures? How do these experiments relateto various histories of radical struggle? How do we build lasting culture(s) of resistance and (re-)construction? There is much work to be done to adequately understand the new forms that radicalpolitics are taking today. What are the common paths shared by groups, movements, communities,and peoples that seek to construct sustainable alternatives to the existing order? What are theinequalities, prejudices, and forms of oppression (race, gender, sexuality, class, ability) that dividethese formations, both internally and from each other? For it is only through changes in practicethat can result from such a discussion that we can work out ways in which solidarity acrossthese divisions can be strengthened. Affinities will publish work that comes from perspectivesincluding, but not limited to, anarchism, anti-racism, autonomist marxism, disability studies,ecology, feminism, indigenous politics, poststructuralism, postcolonial studies, and queer theory.We do not seek to synthesize or prioritize any of these traditions; rather, we are interested in theways in which they intersect, in how they can inform and critique one another while retaining theirown particular approaches and questions.

4.96 Critical Perspectives on International Business

Critical Perspectives on International Business is the only journal that exclusively supports criti-cally reflexive discussion of the nature and impact of international business activity from trans- andmulti-disciplinary perspectives, rather than within specific fields. The journal encourages readersto engage with, and build upon, writings and activities from the broader societal context thatchallenge the hegemony of global and transnational corporations, of managerial orthodoxy and ofdominant academic discourse. In recent years, the business practices and management philosophiesof global enterprises have been subject to increasingly close scrutiny by commentators in the fieldsof journalism and academia. Such scrutiny has been motivated by a growing desire to examine thenature of globalisation, its impact on specific communities and its benefits for society as a whole.Critical Perspectives on International Business provides a space for researchers and practitionersin diverse fields such as management, politics, economics, geography, etc., to come together toexamine questions surrounding international business and approaches to management practice.

4.99 Critique: Journal of Socialist Theory

Critique is an independent, refereed, scholarly journal founded in 1973. It attempts to analysecontemporary society from a critical Marxist perspective. Critique takes the view that Marxismhas been so degraded by the Stalinist period that much of what has passed for Marxism hasranged between incoherent nonsense and empty if complex scholastic schema. Since socialismin one country is a theoretical and practical impossibility, Critique rejected and continues toreject analyses purporting to show this or that country is or was socialist. Furthermore, Critiqueemphatically insists on the impossibility of an undemocratic socialism. The aim of Critique is totake part in the restoration of the earlier pre-eminence of Marxist thought by encouraging discussionaround the political economy of contemporary capitalist and non-capitalist societies. For thispurpose, it regards debate around methodology and as a consequence philosophy to be essential.Inevitably, contemporary political economy must also involve debate around the importance ofhistorical events and so Critique encourages contributions of historical analysis. In short, Critique’saim is to publish theoretical work at various levels of abstraction from the most profound to thatof analytical description in order to help provide the theory required for socialist change, which

92

with the end of Stalinism is once more on the agenda.

4.100 Critique of Political Economy

Critique of Political Economy is an interdisciplinary journal, devoted to the critique of politicaleconomy. It is not just another journal of economics. COPE seeks to challenge and break downthe separation between political economy and social knowledge as a whole, which we regard as aproduct of academic over-specialization and lack of confidence that critical thought can addresssocial life as a whole. Thus we actively encourage relevant contributions from, and the participationof, scholars from outside of the economics profession and, indeed, from outside of academia. Weparticularly encourage contributions from scholars in the global South, whose voices are seriouslyunderrepresented in the academic journals of the North.

4.101 Cultural Science

Cultural Science is emerging as the result of dialogue and convergence between evolutionary/complexitytheory (especially in evolutionary economics) and the study of change in human relationships andidentities (especially in creative industries and cultural studies). The problem of dynamic changehas proven to be disruptive and challenging in the study of both economic and human values. Cre-ative productivity has always emerged from human interactions, but it is increasingly mediated bytechnologies that promote subjective mental representations as networks, in which space and timeare compressed through the continual dissemination and retrieval of stored events. The interactionof people within this “social network economy” creates a continual flux of ephemeral communitiesand novel entrepreneurial opportunities, with unforeseen consequences being the norm rather thanthe exception. This process of “creative destruction” is best addressed by the humanities allyingwith the dynamic science of evolution – the study of continual change through variation, inter-action, selection and drift. Cultural Science therefore seeks an evolutionary understanding of aknowledge- based society past and present, in order to map the possibility space of future scenariosfor creative productivity (both market-based and in community contexts) to which public policyand business strategies must adapt.

4.104 Ecological Economics

The journal is concerned with extending and integrating the study and management of “nature’shousehold” (ecology) and “humankind’s household” (economics).

4.120 Journal of Interdisciplinary Economics

The explosion of information and research that has taken place in recent years has had a profoundeffect upon a variety of existing academic disciplines giving rise to the dissolution of barriersbetween some, mergers between others, and the creation of entirely new fields of enquiry. Thesocial sciences have not been immune to the effects of this transformation, but a great deal ofrelevant information that has been discovered in related fields of study that include inter aliasociology, psychology, history and anthropology, still has yet to be fully incorporated into thecentral body of economic doctrines traditionally taught in colleges and universities. Economics, asa result, has been shielded from exciting developments that have occurred in the physical sciences,philosophy, technology and mathematics. The Journal of Interdisciplinary Economics is a forumin which those who wish to expand the boundaries of economic science, are invited to seek outthe hidden assumptions that determine the conventional economist’s world view, relax them andso evolve a new discipline more appropriate to the contemporary global environment within whichthe discipline exists, and so enable economists to tackle problems that have been created withinthat environment. This process of rethinking will be encouraged by papers written by those whowish to contribute, by the editor or members of the editorial board, and attention will be drawnto neglected boundary areas and axioms that may not be self-evident. Papers and comments arealso welcomed, again not necessarily from professional and academic economists, in response tothe papers and comments.

4.121 Journal of Socio-Economics

Journal of Socio-Economics is a general economics journal whose calling card is its methodologicalopen-mindedness and a strong commitment to economic rigor and economic or analytical signifi-cance as opposed to the simple use of mathematical proofs and statistical significance.

With this in mind, the JSE alsowelcomes survey articles and suggestions for special topic issues. The objective of the JSE is to bea forum for theoretical and empirical research (inclusive of case studies, experiments and simulationbased analyses) irrespective of its methodological orientation, that improves our knowledge of thestate of the world past and present as well as enriches our causal understanding of the economy. Inlight of these objectives, research with a public policy orientation and literature reviews are alsowelcome. Articles should be written in a manner that is intelligible to our generalist readership.

4.131 Rethinking Marxism

Rethinking Marxism: A Journal of Economics, Culture and Society

The aim of Rethinking Marxism is to stimulate interest in and debate over the explanatory powerand social consequences of Marxian economic, cultural, and social analysis. To that end, wepublish studies that seek to discuss, elaborate, and/or extend Marxian theory. Our concernsinclude theoretical and philosophical (methodological and epistemological) matters as well as moreconcrete empirical analyses - all work that leads to the further development of distinctively Marxiandiscourses. We encourage contributions from people in many disciplines and from a wide rangeof perspectives. We are also interested in expanding the diversity of styles for producing andpresenting Marxian discourses. One distinguishing aim of this journal is to ensure that class is animportant part, but not the exclusive focus, of Marxism. We are therefore interested in the complexintersection of class with economic, political, psychological, and all other social processes. Equallyimportant is the task of exploring the philosophical positions that shape Marxian analyses. We areinterested in promoting Marxian approaches to social theory because we believe that they can andshould play an important role in developing strategies for radical social change-in particular, for anend to class exploitation and the various forms of political, cultural, and psychological oppression(including oppression on the basis of race, gender, and sexual orientation). We especially welcomeresearch that explores these and related issues from Marxian perspectives.

4.140 Work Organisation Labour and Globalisation

The globalisation of world trade in combination with the use of information and communicationstechnologies is bringing about a new international division of labour, not just in manufacturingindustry, as in the past, but also in work involving the processing of information. Organisationalrestructuring shatters the unity of the traditional workplace, both contractually and spatially,dispersing work across the globe in ever-more attenuated value chains. A new ‘cybertariat’ isin the making, sharing common labour processes, but working in remote offices and call centreswhich may be continents apart and occupying very different cultural and economic places in localeconomies. The implications of this are far-reaching, both for policy and for scholarship. Thedynamics of this new global division of labour cannot be captured adequately within the frameworkof any single academic discipline. On the contrary they can only be understood in the light of acombination of insights from fields including political economy, the sociology of work, organisationaltheory, economic geography, development studies, industrial relations, comparative social policy,communications studies, technology policy and gender studies. This journal aims to bring togetherinsights from all these fields to create a single authoritative source of information on the new globaldivision of labour, combining theoretical analysis with the results of empirical research in a waythat is accessible both to the research community and to policy-makers.

5.2.2 Advances in New Institutional Analysis, Edward Elgar

Understanding the nature and role of institutions in the dynamics and failures of modern economiesis an increasing concern among scholars and policy makers. Substantial progress has been madein economics as well as in other social sciences, particularly political science, history, sociologyand the managerial sciences. New institutional scholars have been, and remain, at the forefrontof this movement. Alternative views have also been proposed that deserve consideration.

5.2.5 Economics as Social Theory, Routledge

Social theory is experiencing something of a revival within economics. Critical analyses of theparticular nature of the subject matter of social studies and of the types of method, categories andmodes of explanation that can legitimately be endorsed for the scientific study of social objects,are reemerging. Economists are again addressing such issues as the relationship between agencyand structure, between economy and the rest of society, and between the enquirer and the object ofenquiry. There is a renewed interest in elaborating basic categories such as causation, competition,culture, discrimination, evolution, money, need, order, organization, power probability, process,rationality, technology, time, truth, uncertainty, value, etc. The objective for this series is tofacilitate this revival further. In contemporary economics the label ‘theory’ has been appropriatedby a group that confines itself to largely asocial, ahistorical, mathematical ‘modeling’. Economicsis Social Theory thus reclaims the ‘theory’ label, offering a platform for alternative rigorous, butbroader and more critical conception of theorizing.

5.2.8 Historical Materialism Book Series, Brill

After the disappearance of Marxism as a (supposed) state ideology, a need for a serious and long-term book publishing programme on Marxism was recognized. Most publishers of scholarly workhave abandoned any of the systematic publication of critical research on Marxist theory that theymay have indulged in during the 1970s and early 1980s. The HM book series addresses this greatgap with original monographs, translated texts and reprints of classics works.

The IAFFE book series pursues the aimsof the organization by providing a forum in which scholars have space to develop their ideas atlength and in detail.

5.2.17 New Political Economy, Routledge

New Political Economy is devoted to publishing recently and soon to be completed Ph.D. disserta-tions in political economy. I am looking for those dissertations in political economy that you as thePh.D. committee chair or member thought might be especially interesting to and worthy of a wideraudience. Dissertations can be either theoretical, empirical, or both. They also may be focusedon a particular history or history of thought. I would like to leave the field of political economy,and hence dissertations written under that heading, as broadly conceived, but it is perhaps nosecret that I am interested in those works focused particularly on Marxian theory including valueanalysis, postmodern Marxian analyses, gender studies, and class studies. However, I also want tostress that this series is open to a variety of different perspectives. Dissertations will be consideredthat do not fall specifically under one or the other of the above topics but are thought by you tobe an original attempt to explore some question or issue in the broadly conceived field of political

123

economy. The overall idea of this project is to circulate more widely the best work of your graduatestudents. The advantages to the graduate student of such a series are a wider circulation of his orher ideas and obviously a book publication in his or her early career.

5.2.19 Perspectives from Social Economics, Palgrave Macmillan

In the current economic, financial, and political climate, recognizing and studying the ethical andsocial aspects of the economy are more important than ever. Social economics has long emphasizedthese very aspects, and can provide unique perspectives on issues of critical importance to citizens,businesses, and governments around the world. This series will feature a sharp discussion of theexplicit ethical/social components of important policy and social issues, drawing on the variedapproaches used by social economists around the world. Through a strong mix of outward-lookingbooks, focusing on the insights of social economics to contemporary policy and social issues, andinward-looking books, focusing on the philosophy and methodology of social economics itself, thisseries will be of enormous value to both social economists and policy makers.

5.2.20 Real Utopias Project, Verso

TheReal Utopias Project embraces a tension between dreams and practice. It is founded on thebelief that what is pragmatically possible is not fixed independently of our imaginations, but isitself shaped by our vision. The fulfillment of such a belief involves real utopias: utopian idealsthat are grounded in the real potentials for redesigning social institutions. In its attempt atsustaining and deepening serious discussion of radical alternatives to existing social practices, theReal Utopias Project examines various basic institutions and focuses on specific proposals for theirfundamental redesign. The books in the series, edited and introduced by Erik Olin Wright, are theresult of workshop conferences, at which groups of scholars are invited to respond to provocativemanuscripts. The lead essay in each volume lays out the underlying logic of the proposal and isfollowed by the responses from critics and supporters.

It is primarily basedin Germany and Austria but cooperates closely with similar networks in other countries, particularin Europe.

The Network aims tobe both a platform for discussions about economic theory as well as a forum for economic policydebates: Macroeconomic theory is seen as the basis for policies which aim at high employment,environmentally sustainable growth, price stability, reduced inequality, and the elimination of

125

poverty. In particular, the Network seeks to promote an exchange between competing theoreticalparadigms. In the book series, the RNM the annual conference books have been published so far.

Brazilian Institute for Full Employmenthttp://www.desenvolvimentistas.com.br/

Several months ago, the Brazilian Institute for Full Employment joined EFE as an institutionalmember. At that time I shared with the members of the network information and documentsregarding the Brazilian Campaign for Zero Unemployment. We are very happy to announce that alot of progress has since been made regarding a proposal for the creation of the Brazilian Job Guar-antee Programme. In the past months, broadly based consultations with civil society organizations,members of government, trade unions and economists in Brazil have resulted in enthusiastic en-dorsement for such a policy intervention. To further discuss this initiative we have organized theFirst Citizen City International Symposium on ELR. This public dialogue forum, supported by theNational Development Bank of Brazil, is scheduled to take place in Rio, March 9-10. For detailsplease visit theEFE website. In conclusion, we wish to acknowledge the contributions of the net-work of Economists for Full Employment, which have enabled us to make important connectionswith economists, policy makers and advisors from around the world.

Above all, they struggle against inequality and exploitation. Mobilizing a rising tide ofpeople of all ages, nationalities and social identities, classes, faiths, the social movements of ourtime are raising the consciousness of men and women in both the First and Third Worlds. Theyare finding that the existing social order neither meets their interests nor the kind of society inwhich they wish to live. Their protest is not only a rejection of what exists but also an expressionof faith that another world is possible...

The Colonisation of Social Sciences by Economicshttp://www.soas.ac.uk/economics/research/econimp/

This website covers continuing work to investigate The New Revolution in Economics and ItsImpact upon Social Sciences. Its main aim is to assess the impact on other social sciences of whatis hypothesized to be a revolution in and around economics. The latter promises to end whatis primarily the isolation of mainstream economics from the other social sciences, as economicsextends its scope of application beyond its traditional study of market relations. As the othersocial sciences are seeking to incorporate an economic content in reaction against the extremes ofpost-modernism and neo-liberalism, major changes are occurring unevenly across social theory. Itis intended to assess these through an overview but primarily by examining particular themes ortopics.

Corporations in Contexthttp://www.ase.tufts.edu/gdae/publications/corporations.html

In the course of developing a deeper understanding of today’s economic realities, researchers at theGlobal Development And Environment Institute have generated a number of writings that deal withthe role and the nature of corporations. Most recently GDAE researchers have created a case studyabout the areas where markets cannot be counted on to ensure that business behavior will accordwith social or environmental sustainability. The case is now included on the Aspen Institute’s web-site, CasePlace.org, under the title “Market Failures: Corporate Governance and Accountability.”Recognizing that markets lead to efficiency and the social good only under certain conditions, thiscollection describes seven causes of market failure and provides cases and readings related to each.GDAE’s new web page, Corporations in Context, provides links and information on Books, Articlesand Reports, and Educational Materials. A link to our new collection on “Market Failures,” andto the background essay on “The Limitations of Markets” by GDAE Co-director Neva Goodwin,may be found athttp://www.ase.tufts.edu/gdae/publications/corporations.html#markets

Economics of Crisishttp://www.economicsofcrisis.com/

Economics of Crisis is an international consortium of scholars, created to promote the sharing ofinformation and ideas, with regard to the impact of financial crises in various countries and socialgroups. Members are economists and policy specialists on every continent.

Financial crises should be a call to action to reform the existing financial and economic system;the danger is always that we simply improve many aspects of the status quo, which has providedthe background against which crises begin.

Additional research and commentary is necessary to help shape the large number of policiesbeing enacted to combat crises. To join the group, or to submit information, please emailsara hsu@economicsofcrisis.com.

Economics for Equity and the Environment Networkhttp://www.RealClimateEconomics.org

Economics for Equity and the Environment Network (E3) has launched a new website to demon-strate the weight of economic analysis in the peer reviewed literature that supports immediate,large-scale policy responses to the climate crisis. The Real Climate Economics website offers areader’s guide to the real economics of climate change, an emerging body of scholarship that isconsistent with the urgency of the problem as seen from a climate science perspective. As the cli-mate policy debate intensifies, economic analysis is playing an increasingly central role. The casefor inaction is no longer argued on the grounds of skepticism about the science; instead, some haveclaimed that it will be too expensive to take more than token initiatives. There is now extensiveeconomic analysis that challenges and refutes this idea. The peer-reviewed articles included onthis website demonstrate that:- Risk and uncertainty are fundamental to the climate problem;- Ethics and equity are inseparable from economic analysis of climate change- Marginal analysis of small changes and modest adjustments of market-based instruments areinadequate to the task of understanding and protecting the earth’s climate.E3 is a national network of economists doing applied economic research on environmental issueswith a social equity focus.

Global Policy Innovations Programhttp://www.policyinnovations.org/about/overview

Over the last decade, the development engine appears to have stalled in some regions. Manyof the world’s poorest countries are experiencing falling growth rates, rising unemployment, andenvironmental degradation. Many in the developing world have come to view free trade andfinancial liberalization not as pathways to prosperity, but as tools of exploitation. A growingbody of innovative scholarship offers promising strategies for sustainable development and a fairerglobalization. Yet, these proposals have not been disseminated in a coordinated fashion. Inresponse to this challenge, the Global Policy Innovations program provides a forum for pragmaticalternatives to the current global economic order.

Heterodox Economics for Environment and Development Network (HEEDnet)http://www.heednet.org

HEEDnet, the Heterodox Economics for Environment and Development network, was set up in2004 to bring alternative approaches to economic analysis to the attention of the environmental andsustainable development policy community in the UK and to demonstrate how such approaches canbetter support policy development. To date we have done this mainly through developing links withresearchers in heterodox economics and providing platforms for them in Westminster for eveningseminars, which have achieved very good attendance. We also have a internet list with almost 100members. Further details can be obtained from henry.leveson-gower@environment-agency.gov.uk.

Heterodox Micro Website

Professor Larry Reynolds of Boise State University has a web site. On the site he has posted6 chapters of an alternative view of microeconomics. Since he is an Institutionalist, heterodoxeconomists who are teaching micro might be able to use these chapters to provide some socialcontext to neoclassical mechanics. Basically he is trying to undermine the publishers by providingfee e-books and materials. I think that there are lots of us (heterodox economists) who are quitecapable of desktop publishing. There are two links that are provided: the portal to Reynold’s entireweb site is http://www.boisestate.edu/econ/lreynol/web/ and the index of to the pdf electronictexts and other materials is http://www.boisestate.edu/econ/lreynol/web/Micro.htm.

The Institute for International Political Economy (IPE) at the Berlin School of Eco-nomics and Lawhttp://www.ipe-berlin.org/index.php?id=1?&L=1

The Berlin Institute for International Political Economy (IPE) is concerned with the relationbetween the economy and political power in a globalised world, and the social implications thatthis raises. The recurrence of serious financial crises, rising social inequality and a disregard forhuman rights indicate that conflicts involving economic and political interests have become moreacute. This raises many urgent questions about the types of political and social regulation of theeconomy that would be desirable. In addition, since globalisation has depended on energy generatedfrom non-renewable fossil fuels which poses a serious threat to the global climate, internationalpolitical economy must be complemented by an international political ecology.The IPE aims to promote interdisciplinary research drawing on economics, political science andsociology to deepen our understanding of these issues, and to make the results of this researchavailable to individuals and groups who are active in political, social and economic initiatives.

Founded in October 2009 with a $50 million pledge by George Soros, the New York City-based In-stitute for New Economic Thinking is a nonprofit organization providing fresh insight and thinkingto promote changes in economic theory and practice through conferences, grants and educationinitiatives.The Institute recognizes problems and inadequacies within our current economic system and themodes of thought used to comprehend recent and past catastrophic developments in the worldeconomy. The Institute embraces the professional responsibility to think beyond these inadequatemethods and models and will support the emergence of new paradigms in the understanding ofeconomic processes.The Institute firmly believes in empowering the next generation, providing the proper guidance aswe challenge outdated approaches with innovative and ethical economic strategy.The Institute’s objective is to expand the conversation to create an open discussion for a widerrange of people. Some would say that present day dialogue is closed and polarizing. We recognizethe need for an environment that is nourished and supported by discourse, a discussion that spansa much wider spectrum of thinking and incorporates the insights of other intellectual disciplinesin both the natural and social sciences.The Institute was conceived during the first half of 2009 through a series of discussions that cul-minated at a summit in July of 2009 in Bedford, NY.

Research Network Macroeconomics and Macroeconomic Policies (FMM)

Since 1996 the Research Network Macroeconomics and Macroeconomic Policies (FMM) has existedas a platform for analysis, research and discussion of macroeconomic issues. It is primarily basedin Germany and Austria but cooperates closely with similar networks in other countries, particularin Europe. The Network is concerned to promote the revival and development of macroeconomicapproaches which have tended to be eclipsed since the 1970s, especially in Germany, as a resultof the dominance of neoclassical, monetarist and supply-side approaches. The Network aims tobe both a platform for discussions about economic theory as well as a forum for economic policydebates: Macroeconomic theory is seen as the basis for policies which aim at high employment,environmentally sustainable growth, price stability, reduced inequality, and the elimination ofpoverty. In particular, the Network seeks to promote an exchange between competing theoreticalparadigms.

De ‘Vereniging Institutionele en Politieke Economie’ is een Belgisch-Nederlandse vereniging vaneconomen die een brede waaier van stromingen binnen de economische wetenschap omvat. Devereniging werd aanvankelijk opgericht onder de benaming “Studiekring Post-Keynesiaanse Economie”in 1980 en in 1997 omgevormd tot “Vereniging Institutionele en Politieke Economie”, waarbij ookde Vereniging voor Politieke Economie zich aansloot. De Vereniging heeft momenteel zo’n 150leden. De vereniging organiseert jaarlijks een conferentie rond een bepaald thema waarvan debijdragen worden gepubliceerd bij Edward Elgar in een congresboek dat gratis aan de leden wordttoegezonden. Bij de vereniging hoort ook een nieuwsbrief met nieuws vanuit het bestuur, metbijdragen van de leden zelf, met informatie over de leden en met aankondigingen van voor ledeninteressante conferenties en workshops.

Het bestuur van de vereniging wordt verkozen op de jaarlijkse ledenvergadering die meestal op dedag van de conferentie wordt gehouden. Elk aangesloten lid kan zich op deze vergadering kandidaatstellen voor een bestuursfunctie. Het bestuur streeft ernaar om naast een beperkt kernbestuur tebeschikken over minstens n medewerker per universiteit in Nederland en Belgi‘ die bereid is alscontactpersoon voor de vereniging op te treden.

100 Words on HeterodoxEconomics

To celebrate the 100th issue of Heterodox Economics Newsletter (May 2010), Editors asked about100 heterodox economists around the world, representing their school of thought, institution, as-sociation, country, or region, about the current state and future of heterodox economics. We havereceived very interesting and enlightening responses.1 The questions asked were:

1. How is heterodox economics different from mainstream-neoclassical economics?

2. What is the current state of heterodox economics (in your country or region)?

3. What should be done to advance heterodox economics?

4. Any word for the future generation of heterodox economics?

1. They differ in their objects (and subjects) ofstudy; in their concerns, in many of the ques-tions that they ask, in the answers that theyoffer (for those questions that they share), intheir underlying mode of thought and, mainly, inthe methodology that they use. Unfortunately,there are also significant differences in their ca-pacity to influence the general public, the media,administrators and politicians.

2. At this moment, Spain is a “world leader”in the implementation of one of the most per-verse, most baroque, least transparent andbest planned mechanisms to eradicate hetero-dox viewpoints from university teaching and re-searching in Economics. (see Heterodox Eco-nomics Newsletter, issue 94, for a brief overview;or interested colleagues can request a more de-tailed account by e-mail, jrgara@unileon.es).

3. Promoting regional and worldwide associa-tions, developing international research groups,recruiting the best degree students for hetero-dox postgraduate studies, calling for a publicagency to manage bibliometrics analysis, takingfurther the advances in the development of par-ticular indices for journals and centres involvedin heterodox economics, and increasing visibilityin the academic environment and in the publicarena.

4. To work on the edges, and even more so,clearly outside the boundaries, of mainstreamEconomics is a hard task which involves consid-erable costs at both personal and professionallevels. Anyway, working in the field from withinone of the strands of heterodox Economics canactually make you feel more useful for society,more content with yourself, more able to enjoythings, in a word, happier.

national heterodox economics association, groupor institution, whether or not the respondent islinked to them.

The varieties of Political Ecology – involving theintegration of ecological, social, and solidarityeconomics with political economy –offer valu-able insights into the underlying causes of thetwin crises currently confronting us: economicand ecologic. When these approaches are en-riched with the teachings of peoples actively en-gaged in strengthening their own communitieswith their multiple proposals for assuring socialwell-bring and ecological protection and restora-tion, we can develop new models for economicanalysis and political action. From the vantagepoint of Latin America, we can enrich our teach-ing by incorporating the experiences of hundredsof communities that are building social and po-litical alliances to develop new paradigms.

Heinrich BortisProfessor and Chair of Political Economy, His-tory of Economic Theories and Economic His-tory, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences,University of Fribourg, Switzerland

To revive political economy in the sense of Ri-cardo, Marx, Kalecki and Keynes is of the great-est importance at present. The problem isto forge the theoretical tools to come to gripswith the present crisis and to lay the concep-tual foundations for shaping a new world eco-nomic and financial order. This requires, how-ever, that political economy, post-cum-classical-Keynesian for example, be systematically pre-sented in the form of volumes on principles, trea-tises and textbooks. Given this, political econ-omy could be taught systematically. This would,in turn, enable the transformation of existingeconomic theory chairs into political economychairs, or even the creation of new chairs in po-litical economy. In any case, in the form of po-litical economy in a broad sense, including, mostimportantly, the history of economic theories,

150

economic theory would become socially relevantagain. To conclude, systematic writing on po-litical economy is, at present, the most pressingtask of (experienced) political economists.

Andy DenisSenior Lecturer in Political Economy in the De-partment of Economics, City University London

Heterodox economics is constituted by the neo-classical mainstream by exclusion. By exclud-ing some and including others it creates a het-erodoxy and an orthodoxy. There will onlybe consistency in the heterodoxy to the ex-tent that mainstream economics is consistentin what it excludes. Equally, the mainstreamitself is not a single entity but simply thoseapproaches deemed insufficiently threatening towarrant exclusion. A salient example is be-havioural economics: though highly critical ofmainstream microeconomics and the principleof Homo economicus, the reductionism of thisschool of thought renders it acceptable to themainstream - at a time when macro level irra-tionality is apparently endemic, it is helpful toapologetic economics to be able to suggest thatthe fault lies with insufficiently rational individ-ual agents.

The most important criteria which seem to meto operate in deciding whom to exclude are

• Holism or reductionism: seeing individualagents as isolated atoms or as embeddedin networks or social relations; and

• Equilibrium or disequilibrium: explana-tion of social conditions as underpinnedby timeless equilibria or by momentarypauses between kaleidoscopic shifts;

On these criteria institutionalism, post Key-nesianism, Marxian economics, Austrian eco-nomics and critical realism are all heterodox.On the other hand, neoclassical Keynesianism,monetarism, new classical macroeconomics, newKeynesianism, new institutional economics, andanalytical Marxism are all orthodox.

Scientific economics is best served by the strug-gle for pluralism, that is, against exclusion,against the constitution of orthodoxies and het-erodoxies. We cannot support heterodox eco-nomics per se, as that would require (for exam-ple) support for both Marxian and Austrian eco-nomics, which would be incoherent. What wecan do is to engage with allies both within andoutside the mainstream to oppose the monismof the current orthodoxy, and those heterodoxeconomists who would merely like to replace it.Our goal should not be to replace the currentorthodoxy with a new one, but to remove thedivision of the discipline into orthodox and het-erodox camps.

Sheila DowProfessor of Economics, University of Stirling,UK

Heterodox economics has never been strongerand at the same time had such a great op-portunity for gaining attention. The importantchallenge in my view is to communicate hetero-dox ideas successfully. This requires engagementwith policy-making, where orthodox theory hasbeen found wanting, and the promotion of alter-native theories. But it also involves conveyingwhat heterodox economics entails at the levelof ways of thinking about the economic processand of criteria for good theorising (in general,not just in times of crisis). This can best beachieved by advocating a pluralist structure forthe education of economists.

Amitava Krishna DuttProfessor, Department of Political Science, Uni-versity of Notre Dame, USA

Recent economic events have drawn attention tothe interconnected failings of many aspects ofeconomic orthodoxy: its optimization fetish, itspreoccupation with mathematical technique forits own sake, its belief in the efficiency of mar-ket economies, its support for free market poli-cies, and its neglect of values. Now, more thanever, heterodox economists, who have long beenaware of these deficiencies, need to continue toconstructively develop alternative approaches to

151

economics with a genuine commitment to plural-ism – in terms of methods, views of the economy,and socially-just policies – while seeking com-mon ground beyond their shared opposition tomainstream economics.

Peter E. EarlAssociate Professor of Economics, University ofQueensland, Australia

Heterodox economists are different because theyare unwilling to compromise being able to ad-dress the complexity of the real world in orderto construct formal models. They are going tobecome increasingly rare in Australia as the lackof heterodox journals on the “A” list of Excel-lence in Research Australia limits prospects forbeing hired or promoted, and as requirementsfor mainstream coursework deter heterodox PhDstudents. Heterodox economists should switchto the ‘Real-World Economics’ brand and tryoperating covertly under the guise of pluralism,showing the value added by incorporating ‘nontraditional variables’ alongside mainstream onesin applied economics.

Wolfram ElsnerProfessor of Economics, Institute for Institu-tional and Innovation Economics (iino), Facultyof Business Studies and Economics, Universityof Bremen, Germany

Heterodoxy is about interdependence amongheterogeneous agents, complexity, true uncer-tainty, search, adaptation, and complex process,learning to coordinate, processes with multipleequilibria and manifold lock-ins. About reduc-ing complexity through emergent structure andinstrumental institutions, with mutual founda-tions of macro through micro and ‘meso’, andvv. It is about power, status, and the domi-nance of ceremonialism in the capitalist ‘mar-ket’ economy, which is crisis-prone and with itsneoliberal degeneration overly turbulent, unsus-tainable, and inacceptable; thus about buildingcollective action capability for realizing higher-level rationality.

In Germany, economics is particularly orthodoxand anti-pluralist, with its mission to transformGerman post-WWII-welfare state into a ‘proper’Anglo-Saxon system.

We have largely determined economic researchquestions the last three decades. But main-stream teaching, textbooks, and public adviseremained unswayed. Let’s get clustered! Anyestablished heterodoxer become mentor and ad-visor of 15 younger heterodoxers. And say,write, and teach real-world economics from firstsemester. No longer anti-plural, toxic textbooks,just because the curricula prescribe it. Use onlynon-toxic textbooks. Students will appreciate it– and get good jobs.

Ben FineProfessor of Economics, School of Oriental andAfrican Studies, University of London, UK

1. It is different in method, in concepts, in so-cial and historical content, in goals, in interdis-ciplinarity and in sensitivity to its own historyand contemporary relevance.

2. It is alive and well but outside of economicsdepartments where it is suffering a slow andpainful death of assault and neglect from an in-tellectual barbarism that presents itself as scien-tific and rigorous.

3. Maintain intellectual and strategic integrity,especially in forging interdisciplinarity and at-tachment to material realities as opposed to slav-ish and opportunistic dedication to techniques.

4. Good luck but we can prevail collectively andindividually contingent upon broader struggles.

To address all of these questions, join IIPPE(www.iippe.org).

William T. GanleyProfessor of Economics & Finance, SUNY Buf-falo State College, New York, US

1. Heterodox economics is distinctive for theutilization of methodological pluralism and the

152

search for the analysis of economic reality.How different than economic orthodoxy withits placement of reality into neoclassical emptyboxes!

2. Economic crises created opportunities for het-erodox theories to explain the present day eco-nomic situation; juxtaposed with the failure oforthodox economics.

3. Now is the time for us to reach new audiencesin the general public and the halls of academia.The popularization of heterodox ideas has neverbeen more important.

4. Young heterodox economists: take heterodoxeconomic theory to the people. Power to thepeople!

Hardy HanappiUniversity Professor, Jean Monnet Chair forPolitical Economy of European Integration, Uni-versity of Technology Vienna–Economics, Aus-tria

HET is a pool of approaches advancing the un-derstanding of political economy as a scientificdiscipline. It differs from the ruling body of eco-nomic mainstream by opposing a simple importof methods of 18th century physics. This im-port - due to inadequacy with respect to hu-man society – has degenerated to a secularized,monotheistic ‘religion’. The breakdown of an in-adequate dogma advances with its proven inabil-ity to support decision-making – and the simul-taneous success of heterodox approaches. There-fore the most important task is to develop amethodological toolbox to explore scientificallyhow to control the deteriorating dynamics of theglobal political economy.

Geoffrey C. HarcourtProfessor Emeritus, University of Cambridge,UK and University of Adelaide, Australia

As a Post-Keynesian, I approach economic is-sues by having modern capitalism as the back-ground to analysis. I try to analyse processes inhistorical time and highlight decision making on

pricing, production, employment and accumula-tion in an inescapable uncertain environment bythose who run capitalist firms. I look for cumu-lative causation rather equilibrating processes atwork. I try to find why modern economies mal-function, how to rectify this and move towardsjust, equitable societies. I place all reasoningin historical, biographical settings, taking in thecontributions of past greats in our and relateddisciplines. I happily use many modes of rea-soning, including relevant mathematics.

Eckhard HeinProfessor of Economics, Berlin School of Eco-nomics and Law, Germany

1. Heterodox economics rejects the idea thateconomics has to start from optimising (repre-sentative) individuals in a world of probabilisticrisk and that meaningful macroeconomic resultscan be derived from this microeconomic perspec-tive. Institutions, money, state, class, gender,etc. are important for the explanation of eco-nomic behaviour in a world of fundamental un-certainty. In this realistic framework all sorts offallacies of composition can arise.

2. In Germany, heterodox economics has al-most disappeared from the major universitiesand research institutes. However, it is still aliveat a few smaller universities, at universities ofapplied sciences, and in two research instituteswhich are close to the trade unions. Further-more, there are heterodox societies and networkswith regular conferences, in particular the Re-search Network Macroeconomics and Macroeco-nomic Policies with annual international confer-ences which have more than 200 participants.

3. Increase the pressure on universities toprovide relevant teaching and research in eco-nomics, and improve access of researchers doingrelevant economics to university positions andto public funding.

4. Don’t give up.

I’d suggest that the feature that best distin-guishes (or should distinguish) heterodoxy frommainstream economics is that we should be try-ing to “change the world.” While such a slo-gan would have different meanings for differ-ent strands of heterodox economists, all are at-tempting to produce a world that is more hu-mane, more sensible, more amenable to the pro-visioning process–in particular to the nurturingof children. It would appear that in this, we arenot very successful in the current period. Weneed to be better organized, more aggressive inmaking our positions more public. To this end,the advice I would give future generations wouldbe to quote Marx: “Struggle!”

Arturo HermannSenior Researcher at the Institute for Studiesand Economic Analyses (ISAE), Rome, Italy

One central aspect of a heterodox perspective ineconomics is its level of interdisciplinarity. As iswell known, mainstream economics largely restson the attempt to insulate itself from other per-spectives in economics and in other fields of so-cial and psychological sciences. Such situationis unsatisfactory for those who believe in theunitary character of science and, then, try toestablish systematic contacts with other socialsciences. This process, of course, is not tanta-mount to downplaying the distinctive features ofeach discipline. Conversely, the analysis of dif-ferent perspectives in particular, sociology, his-tory, anthropology, psychology, psychoanalysisby broadening the horizon of awareness of theobserver, constitutes an excellent way for obtain-ing a better comprehension of the real featuresof each discipline.

This heterodox and enlarged theoretical per-spective, by helping to attain a better under-standing of the multifarious aspects of any givenreality, can contribute to devise policies moretailored to the competencies and aspirations ofall the subjects involved.

John E. KingProfessor of Economics, School of Economicsand Finance, La Trobe University, Australia

Heterodox economics is concerned with thereal world. It is pluralist, multi-disciplinaryand policy-oriented. It is under serious threatfrom our government’s research assessmentexercise (ERA: Excellence in Research Aus-tralia), since heterodox journals are system-atically under-rated. To advance heterodoxeconomics, we should continue to be plural-ist, multi-disciplinary, policy-oriented and con-cerned with reality: one day the brittle facadeof the mainstream will start to crack. The fu-ture generation of heterodox economists shouldtalk politely to each other and critically (but stillpolitely) to the mainstream. They should staycheerful, even though there may be no good rea-son to!

Dany LangAssociate Professor, CEPN, University of Paris13, France

The past years have been characterized byan impressive and stimulating revival of post-Keynesian modeling. Roughly speaking, themain strands of this literature are the Kaleck-ian models of growth and income distribution,the Kaldorian-Robinsonian models of path de-pendency, and the Minskian models of financialcrises. On the top of that, the stock-flow con-sistent methodology is a perfect tool for under-standing complex macroeconomic interactionswith multiple buffers. These post-Keynesianmodels are worth considering, partly becausethey are rather realistic, and explain numerousaspects of the 2007 crisis and the subsequent re-cession.

The next stage should be the framing a post-Keynesian synthesis. The baseline of it could bea dynamic model of growth and income distri-bution, with a path dependant rate of capacityutilization, and an endogenous supply of creditthat changes as the behavior of financial institu-tions varies in the different phases of the cycle.Class struggle, subcontracting and domination

154

should also be taken into account explicitly.

To enrich these models and their understandingof reality, post-Keynesians should really developfurther the discussion with the other heterodoxschools, rather than engaging with a mainstreamthat whatever happens won’t listen.

Frederic S. LeeProfessor of Economics, Department of Eco-nomics, University of Missouri-Kansas City,USA, Editor of The American Journal of Eco-nomics and Sociology, and Founding Editor ofHeterodox Economics Newsletter

All too often I hear a conversation that boilsdown to two statements: “What can heterodoxeconomics do for me?” and “I am too busy pub-lishing or teaching to do anything to help ad-vance heterodox economics.” Advancing hetero-dox economics involves much work that does notper se advance one’s professional career. Theselfless work I am referring to involves organiz-ing conference-seminars, refereeing papers, pub-lishing newsletters, editing journals, and doingthe administrative/institutional work necessaryto establish and run heterodox undergraduateand post-graduate economic programs. If allheterodox economists would contribute to thisin some small way, then heterodox economicswill advance.

Vladimir A. MaschPresident, Risk Evaluation and Management,Inc.

The present economic turmoil makes us, onceagain, return to Keynes. But it would be prim-itive and wrong to consider only his currentlyfashionable deficit financing ideas and similarnarrow issues. (Moreover, following only thispart of his legacy would be counterproductive.)He was the Einstein of economics, and, like Ein-stein, he was much broader than his discipline:he was a Thinker. The most important truephilosophical legacy of Keynes can be reducedto three principles, expressed by him explicitlyor implicitly.

I. There is no ”universal economics”: differentapproaches should be applied under differentstates of the society and the economy and underdifferent problems facing them. II. Economicsis based on logic of choice, not under scarcityalone, but rather under both uncertainty andscarcity, perhaps with uncertainty playing moreimportant role. III. Lower level market activitiesare beneficial, but – if the economy is not con-sidered autonomous – they should be controlled,constrained, and directed, at a higher level, bya non-market entity that pursues broad sociopo-litical goals.

There are no absolutes in society, and there existno timeless rules of behavior or decision-makingthat can be taken as axioms. Economics cannotbe constructed as an axiomatic (deductive) the-ory. There are only approximate rules of thumb,which sometimes are applicable and sometimesare not. Even the most basic tenets of economicsare therefore no more than temporarily accept-able approximations of reality. How acceptableare those approximations? That depends onthe then current stage of the society and theeconomy. What was completely satisfactory yes-terday might become unacceptable tomorrow.(from In the Century of ”Black Swans”, Mod-ern Economics Deserves ”Creative Destruction,The Huffington Post, May 12, 2010).

Alessandro RoncagliaProfessor of Economics, Department of socialstudies at La Sapienza University of Rome. Italy

1. The best short answer is Sraffa’s counterposi-tion of the marginalist ”one-way avenue” leadingfrom scarce resources (”Factors of production”)to ”Consumption goods” to the Classical view”of the system of production and consumptionas a circular flow”. This implies fundamentaldifferences in content for all concepts utilisedin our analyses, from prices (indexes of relativescarcity vs. difficulty of production) to markets(a point in time and space where demand andsupply meet, or a web of exchanges connectingproductive units in a system based on the divi-sion of labour), and so on. The Classical (”sur-plus”) approach requires that the different issues

155

(employment, distribution, techniques, finance,etc.) be dealt separately, which allows for animportant role to be attributed to (Keynesian)uncertainty.

David F. RuccioProfessor of Economics, University of NotreDame, USA

Heterodox economics comprises all those theo-ries that academic economists and others useto criticize and develop alternatives to main-stream (neoclassical and Keynesian) approaches.Heterodox and mainstream theories differ interms of their starting points, methodologies,and conclusions. Thus, for example, Marxianeconomists start with class and use Marxianvalue theory to criticize capitalism, whereas neo-classical economists start with a set of givenpreferences, technology, and resource endow-ments and use a framework of supply and de-mand to celebrate capitalism. The problems ofcapitalism and mainstream economic theories,now as throughout their history, create the spacefor and interest in heterodox approaches.

Stephanie SeguinoProfessor of Economics, University of Vermont,USA

A growing body of research finds that organiza-tions that are diverse function better than thosethat are homogeneous, due to the greater num-ber of perspectives that can be used in problem-solving and creative production.

Heterodox economists represent that diversity.Unlike mainstream economists, for which the de-tails of everyday life and power imbalances donot seem to matter, heterodox economists em-brace real world phenomena, putting forth a vi-brant, energetic analysis of how economies dofunction, and the way forward to create condi-tions for broadly shared economic well-being.

The challenge for all of the various streamsof heterodox economics is to avoid becomingtoo insular, with attendant risks of a scleroticanalytical framework. This suggests that the

health of heterodox economics depends on inter-action and exchange across the various branches:post-Keynesian, Kaleckian, feminist, structural-ist, Marxist, Austrian, and more.

Bruno TinelCES (Centre d’Economie de la Sorbonne), Uni-versity of Paris 1 “Pantheon Sorbonne”, France

The traditions composing Heterodoxy in eco-nomics share a common methodological and the-oretical ground. This internal diversity of Het-erodoxy makes it intellectually exciting and rel-evant for society. Though it remains scientif-ically unchallenged, its institutional positionshave weakened in most advanced capitalist coun-tries. The issue of academic reproduction isnot intellectual but practical. The “HeterodoxEconomics Newsletter” is a very good elementwithin this strategy which has to be completedby national and international organizations suchas FAPE (French Association of Political Econ-omy) and IIPPE (International Initiative forPromoting Political Economy).

Lefteris TsoulfidisAssociate Professor of Economics, University ofMacedonia, Greece and Editor of Bulletin of Po-litical Economy

1. The main difference is that heterodox eco-nomics accepts a theory of value and distribu-tion which is separate from a theory of out-put. In particular, the theory of value is basedon objective data (real wage, output and tech-nique) whereas in neoclassical economics it isbased on subjective data (preferences). Further-more, competition is conceived realistically andnot as perfect competition, and thus heterodoxeconomics is opposed to the ideas of perfect fore-sight and rational expectations as it recognizeswidespread uncertainty.

2. Heterodox economists in Greece constitute asmall but rather active group organized in for-mal and informal societies.

3. Simply, develop alternative explanations ofeconomic phenomena and propose sensible and

156

viable economic policies. In a period of eco-nomic crisis such as the current one heterodoxeconomists are offered a unique opportunity topopularize their ideas and have a lasting impact.

4. The task before the future generation of het-erodox economics should be the integration ofthe existing wealth of heterodox ideas into a sin-gle theory competitive to the neoclassical ortho-doxy.

Richard D. WolffProfessor of Economics Emeritus, University ofMassachusetts, Amherst and Visiting Professor,Graduate Program in International Affairs, NewSchool University, New York City

Orthodoxy, like heterodoxy, lies largely in itsbeholders’ eyes. Across the nineteenth cen-tury, Marxian economics contested the ortho-doxy of classical political economy much as so-cialism contested capitalism. Across the twen-tieth, Marxian economics struggled to redefineits specific heterodox difference as orthodoxyswung between neoclassical and Keynesian eco-nomics, capitalism alternated between regimesof less and more state economic intervention,and classical socialism peaked. Its new re-formulation articulates a self-consciously non-determinist theory of class (defined in terms ofthe production, appropriation and distributionof surpluses). Such a Marxian economics rep-resents a new, systematic, and well-developedalternative to both neoclassical and Keynesianeconomics.
