Heterodox Economics Newsletter
Issue 326 April 22, 2024 web pdf Heterodox Economics Directory
These days I received several emails saying that some china-related domains (like .cn, .com.cn and the like) based on my personal name (e.g. jakob-kapeller.cn) will be claimed by a company in Hong Kong that specializes in medical equipment. These guys are serious, they already wrote me an email saying they will press their claims, regardless of any actions I might take ;-)
Now, what form of late stage capitalism is this, exactly, when companies set out in a 'primitive accumulation' of personal domain names to speculate on future profits from early quasi-random acquisition? Indeed, I feel somewhat honored by their bet on my feature prominence, and it would surely hurt my ego if they were chasing the future fame of another 'Jakob Kapeller' ;-)
If you would rather be concerned with more serious matters, the rest of the Newsletter should truly suit your needs. As usual, we have a lot of fantastic, inspiring and engaging items. In this context, I wanted to spotlight three very complementary introductory books, that look highly useful for teaching heterodox economics from a pluralist perspective: For one, there is Hendrik van den Bergs inclusive "Pluralistic Introduction to Macroeconomics" that can be jointly read with the slightly more specialized "Macroeconomic after Kalecki and Keynes" by Eckhard Hein. For another, there is Paul Smaldino's quite complementary introduction to "Modeling Social Behavior", which introduces the interested reader to the basics of agent-based modeling from an interdisciplinary perspective.
All the Best,
Jakob
PS: Below you will also find a quite interesting post that reviews and summarizes the impressive outcomes associated with the ambitious project 'Economy Studies' that aimed to strengthen the role pluralist economics in teaching and policy advise.
