Heterodox Economics Newsletter
Issue 324 March 11, 2024 web pdf Heterodox Economics Directory
Working on the Heterodox Economics Newsletter has become tougher. Over the years I notice an increasing load of emails to screen, more numerous and diverse requests to consider, more journals to feature and, as a consequence, an increasing number of entries within each issue with the pdf-version of the Newsletter now often reaching more than one-hundred pages. As the Newsletter's trying to compile the most relevant information on what's going on in heterodox economics and related interdisciplinary research fields, this growth in workload and size is good news as it reflects the growing breadth of our field. It's probably less good news for my weekends, but that's another story ;-)
Truth is, however, that in the past decade a series of institutional changes and adaptations were required to keep our service running: For one, we receive constant support from my two home institutions – the Institute for Socio-Economics at the University of Duisburg-Essen and the Institute for Comprehensive Analysis of the Economy (ICAE) at Johannes Kepler University Linz – for which we are immensely grateful as this support provides an essential backbone for our services. For another, we have expanded our reach by creating an international team of volunteers that support us immensely and also help us to broaden our vista by including more diverse perspectives in the Newsletter's production process. In the past two years this team consisted of Alam Galicia-Robles (Mexico), Alexander Cruz (Puerto Rico), Daniela Cialfi (Italy), Johanna Rath (Austria) and Niklas Klann (Germany), which have only recently been joined by Alexander Schallmeiner (Austria). To be honest, I would be totally lost without them ;-)
Finally, and is this only seldomly disclosed, we rely on a hidden genius. About twelve years ago, when I took responsibility for the editorship of the Newsletter, I managed to gain support from Herwig Hochleitner, an old friend from school, to devise an editorial system for the Newsletter, that is both, functional as well as easily maintained (as many of you might know, maintenance is the main culprit of anyhting in the web...). And, well, it worked out – I am still typing these lines on the system he built more than a decade ago; seemingly, he built it for eternity ;-) Effectively, this service would not exist without Herwig's exceptional IT-skills that accurately reflect his motto "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right". If you want to thank Herwig for his close-to-invisible-but-essential service, you can always send him a message.
A final word of thanks goes to Alexander Cruz. Alexander has been a member of our international team of volunteers for three years now and has contributed immensely to the Newsletter's development. Laudably, he took off time for contributing to our service although his professional and familial responsibilities were always far-reaching. At the Newsletter we profited not only from Alex' self-discipline and his passion for heterodox economics, but also could enjoy his salomonic wisdom, his broad knowledge on economic issues and his kind & witty style that renders any communication with him so unbelievably amicable. Many thanks for everything Alex, from me, from the team and (I presume) also from our most cherished subscribers!
All the best
Jakob
