From the Editor
After a holiday break, the
Newsletter is back with more information about
heterodox activities. In particular, there is the
ICAPE call for papers (which will be repeated over
the next couple of months), the 9th International
Post Keynesian Conference, and the Rethinking
Marxism conference. In addition, I would like to
call your attention to the “Forum for Social
Economics” which is now being edited by John
Marangos, to the entries about heterodox economics
at Roosevelt University, and to Nick Gomersall’s
request for assistance under ‘Queries from Heterodox
Economists’. Finally, there are some heterodox jobs
announcements. I would like to feature more job
announcements—so if you know of job announcements
suitable for heterodox economists, would you please
send them to me so that I can include them in the
Newsletter.
As noted in the previous Newsletter, I attended the
History of Economic Thought Society of Australia
2006 Conference which was hosted by Jerry
Courvisanos and Alex Millrow who are at the
University of Ballarat. The conference was quite
intimate and I heard a number of good papers. Many
of the papers given at the conference can be found
at:
http://www.ballarat.edu.au/ard/business/hetsa06/program.shtml.
One of the conference events involved attending a
show called “Blood on the Southern Cross” which
dealt with an uprising in the goldfields against the
colonial government over unfair taxation. In this
context, there were a few Americans in the
goldfields engaged in the uprising and the
authorities considered the Americans as revolting
people who are leading the good Irish, Scots, etc.
astray. Apparently some things never change, as my
colleagues reminded me at the conference. I also
attended the annual conference of the Association
for Heterodox Economics in London. Again there were
lots of good papers and many heterodox approaches
present and debated. In particular, green economics
made its début along with the first issue of the
“International Journal of Green Economics”. Finally,
there were numerous papers/debates about the meaning
of heterodox economics vis-à-vis pluralism which
were informative and contributive to its
development. Finally, I would like to say that the
Interdisciplinary Graduate Workshop that took place
at UMKC in June went quite well and the students
seem to enjoy the lectures and talking with the
professors and among themselves.

Proposal for a Special Issue
of the Review of Social Economy
Title: Incorporating Ethical Theory into Models of Economic Choice
This special issue of the Review of Social Economy would contain papers
focusing on explicitly incorporating ethical theories into economic
models of choice. In the standard model of homo economicus, the economic
agent is generally understood to be egoistic, but some economists –
social economists in particular – have modified this limited conceptual
framework to include more outwardly-focused ethical concerns, such as
altruism, friendship, trust, and love. But often this has been done
without reference to philosophical ethics, namely a particular school of
ethical thought or moral philosopher.
For this issue, we are looking for papers that bring the modeling of
economic decisions closer to formal ethics as discussed by moral
philosophers. Contributors can focus on a system of philosophical
ethics, such as virtue ethics, deontological ethics, or feminist ethics,
or they can choose to discuss a certain philosopher’s moral theory, such
as that as Aristotle, Mill, Kant, or Hegel, or more modern scholars such
as Joseph Raz, Martha Nussbaum, Alan Gewirth, or Richard Brandt.
In whichever framework (or frameworks) they choose, contributors should
discuss some aspect of working these ethical theories into their models
of choice. Papers can be methodological in nature, perhaps discussing if
their chosen system of ethics can be incorporated into the standard
preference-constraint model, or if instead it needs metapreferences,
constructed preferences, multiple utilities/rankings, or a different
conception of choice altogether. Papers can also be more
results-oriented, investigating how the economic and social outcomes
predicted by models of economic choice would change once ethical
theories are incorporated into them. (The main requirement is that the
papers address a formal theory of ethics from the philosophical
literature, and not just altruism or trust in general.)
Contributions to this special issue will be held to a strict limit of
6,000 words, including references and notes, and will be subject to the
usual double-blind peer review. Authors are expected to adhere to the
deadlines regarding initial drafts, revisions, etc. The papers are
scheduled to be published in the September 2009 issue of the Review of
Social Economy.

Forum for Social
Economics
Editor: John Marangos
The newly appointed editor and editorial board of the Forum of Social
Economics invite papers. The Forum for Social Economics is an
international journal, along with the Review of Social Economy,
sponsored by the Association for Social Economics.
For 35 years the Forum has published high quality peer-reviewed papers.
The primary focus of the Forum is on applying social economic analysis
to practical policy issues and/or the implications of alternative policy
perspectives encompassing the social economy; it is differentiated in
this respect from the ASE’s other journal, the Review of Social Economy
, which has a general orientation. The Forum is a pluralistic journal
publishing work that addresses economic issues within wider ethical,
cultural or natural environmental contexts, and is sympathetic to papers
that transcend established disciplinary boundaries. Papers should make a
contribution to past or current socio-economic issues that have
contemporary relevance to economists, social scientists, policy makers
and business.
The journal welcomes stimulating original articles that are clearly
written and draw upon contemporary policy-related research. Preference
is given to non-technical articles of topical and historical interest
that will appeal to a wide range of readers. The journal is also
interested in serving as an avenue for issues regarding teaching
economics, in particular teaching approaches to social and heterodox
economics.
Papers will pass a double-blind referee process supervised and subject
to the final approval of the Editor.
The Forum invites graduate students to submit research papers. Proof of
graduate student status should be provided with the submission. While
the students’ papers will go through the regular review process and be
held to the same standards for acceptance as other submissions, the
panel of reviewers will serve a mentoring role to advise the student to
strengthen the paper.
Completed papers should be submitted as an email attachment to:

Rethinking Marxism 2006
(Deadline for submissions extended till September 1)
RETHINKING MARXISM: a journal of economics, culture & society is pleased
to announce its 6th major international conference, to be held at the
University of Massachusetts, Amherst on 26-28 October, 2006. The
conference is entitled
RETHINKING MARXISM 2006.
RETHINKING MARXISM’s 5 previous international conferences have each
attracted between 750 and 1200 participants, and they have included
keynote addresses and plenary sessions, formal papers, workshops, art
exhibitions, video presentations, activist sessions, and performances.
Versions of all of these events are planned for
RETHINKING MARXISM 2006.
One exciting and prominent feature of Rethinking Marxism 2006 will be
the 3 plenary sessions, which will highlight some of the most pressing
issues of our times. These plenary sessions will also have as keynote
speakers theorists and activists who are among the best-known and most
insightful contributors to Marxian and left thinking and practice on
these topics. Here is the lineup of the plenary sessions and the list of
confirmed speakers:
Imperialism and the Fantasies of Democracy : Ernesto LACLAU & Ella
SHOHAT & Antonio CALLARI
Rethinking Communism: Susan BUCK-MORSS & Kojin KARATANI & Stephen
CULLENBERG
The Power of the Left Media : Liza FEATHERSTONE & Sut JHALLY & Trebor
SCHOLZ
These plenary sessions will be supplemented by a “platform” of related
panels and papers. Each plenary topic will be investigated in full, not
only by the plenary speakers, but also by other paper givers,
performers, and activists who will be clustered in panels that will
reflect upon and elaborate in different directions the plenary themes
(Please click on the names of the plenary topics listed above for more
details about each of the plenary sessions).
CALL FOR PAPERS
In addition to three plenary sessions and performance art, there will be
concurrent panels and art/cultural events. We invite the submission of
individual papers and pre-organized sessions that follow traditional or
non-traditional formats (such as workshops, roundtables, and dialogue
among and between presenters and audience). Since contemporary Marxism
covers fields from literature to physics and forms of political practice
from environmental organizing to opposing global inequality, anyone
engaging with Marxism in any discipline or form of activism is
encouraged to submit paper and panel proposals. We encourage those
working in areas that intersect with Marxism, such as feminism,
political economy, cultural and literary studies, queer theory,
working-class and labor studies, postcolonial studies, geography and
urban studies, psychoanalysis, social and natural sciences, philosophy,
and around issues of class, race, ethnicity, nationality, gender,
sexuality, and disability, to submit paper and panel proposals. We
welcome video, poetry, performance, and all other modes of presentation
and cultural expression. We encourage paper or panel submissions from
those working on any and all subjects that take an interest in a world
without exploitation and oppression.

Jobs & Justice:
Strategies and Solutions for Economic Security
March 29-31, 2007 - Vancouver, British Columbia
Are you a community or labour activist, a researcher or an academic
interested in labour issues such as contracting out and privatization of
public sector jobs, precarious jobs, job insecurity, labour rights and
standards, low-wage jobs, and immigrant workers? Are you working on
advocacy, campaigns or research around labour issues, and would like to
share this work with others and find strategies for future action?
Conference on labour, work and economic security
We would like to hear from community and labour organizers and
activists, academic researchers, community-based researchers, other
groups and individuals interested in labour and employment issues and
how they affect the economic security of vulnerable communities. What do
good jobs look like? What solutions are needed to recognize work as a
central part of peoples' lives? Jobs & Justice: Strategies and Solutions
for Economic Security is a conference that will look at the current
state of employment and work in BC and Canada and explore solutions and
public policies that would enhance justice, economic security and meet
the needs of diverse populations. The conference will emphasize
solutions and the differing experiences of workers along gender, race,
ethnic and class lines.
Conference Themes
The overarching themes of the conference are: strategies for changing
laws and regulations (how employment standards, labour laws, safety
regulations and enforcement affect labour); solutions for a changing
economy (economic restructuring and how it affects work and labour); and
improving access to the labour market (education, training and other
supports like child care).
Background
This conference is part of the Canadian Centre for Policy
Alternatives/Simon Fraser University's Economic Security Project, a
five-year SSHRC-funded research project that documents and analyzes
recent policy changes in BC and their affect on the economic security of
vulnerable populations (www.sfu.ca/economicsecurityproject). The
conference hopes to foster community-labour-academic collaboration:
bringing labour, community and academic researchers and activists
together in one setting to discuss labour and work issues.
Proposals for conference presentations
While some description and evaluation of the existing labour market
situation is necessary, the main focus of the conference and
presentations will be on alternatives-the types of policies needed,
collective strategies for change, new possibilities and solutions.
We are seeking presentation proposals from a broad range of individuals
and groups who want to share their experiences, work, campaigns and/or
research on current labour issues. We invite proposals for different
types of presentations, including presentations on specific topics,
short/informal presentations, paper presentations, poster presentations
and panel presentations.
Examples of presentation topics for each conference theme include:
Strategies that Address Changing Laws and Regulations:
employment standards in BC and/or Canada
labour flexibility and deregulation
mandatory retirement
safety at work
how regulatory changes shape the political action of unions
Solutions for the Changing Economy and Economic Restructuring:
labour in resource sectors
labour and technology
labour and environment (sustainable solutions)
labour in rural areas/rural experiences
unionization of the service sector
women and work
immigrant workers, migrant and temporary foreign workers
Aboriginal workers
youth workers
contracting out and privatization of public sector jobs
lessons from global labour struggles and movements
precarious labour (seasonal, part-time, temporary and casual work)
labour coverage in the media
Improving Access to the labour market:
education, training and apprenticeships
foreign credentials recognition; helping immigrants gain access to the
labour market
child care
social assistance
working with disabilities/accessibility needs
Format of proposals
Academic, labour and community-based researchers and activists are
invited to submit proposals for either a conference presentation
(proposals to deliver a paper or a poster presentation are also welcome)
or panel discussion (proposing a panel of 2 to 3 speakers) on a topic.
Please note: presentations need not involve a formal written paper;
short and/or informal presentations are also welcome. If you have a
presentation idea and would like to discuss this with the Conference
Planning Committee before submitting a proposal, please contact us at
thi@policyalternatives.ca.
Please use the following format for your submission:
1. For individual presentation proposals:

STRATÉGIES ET SOLUTIONS POUR LA SÉCURITÉ ÉCONOMIQUE
Vancouver, Colombie-Britannique, du 29 au 31 mars 2007
Êtes-vous un militant ou une militante communautaire ou syndical, un
chercheur ou une chercheuse ou un universitaire qui s'intéresse à des
questions telles que la sous-traitance et la privatisation d'emplois du
secteur public, les emplois précaires, l'insécurité d'emploi, les droits
et les normes du travail, les emplois à bas salaire et les travailleurs
et travailleuses immigrants? Participez-vous à une défense de cause, à
des campagnes ou à des recherches sur des questions ayant trait au
travail et aimeriez-vous partager les résultats de vos travaux avec
d'autres et trouver des stratégies en vue d'une action future?
Conférence sur la main-d'¦uvre, le travail et la sécurité économique
Nous aimerions entendre l'avis de militants et militantes communautaires
et syndicaux, de chercheurs et chercheuses universitaires, de chercheurs
et chercheuses communautaires et d'autres groupes et personnes
s'intéressant aux questions de travail et d'emploi et à leur effet sur
la sécurité économique des communautés vulnérables. À quoi ressemblent
les bons emplois? Quelles solutions sont nécessaires pour reconnaître le
travail en tant que partie centrale de la vie des gens? Emplois et
justice : stratégies et solutions pour la sécurité économique est une
conférence qui portera sur l'état actuel de l'emploi et du travail en
C-B et au Canada et qui étudiera des solutions et des politiques
publiques pouvant accroître la justice et la sécurité économique et
répondre aux besoins de populations diverses. La conférence mettra
l'accent sur les solutions et l'expérience différente que vivent les
travailleurs et travailleuses selon leur sexe, leur race, leur ethnie et
leur classe sociale.
Thèmes de la conférence
Les principaux thèmes de la conférence sont les suivants : stratégies
permettant de faire face au changement des lois et des règlements
(comment les normes d'emploi, les normes du travail, les règlements sur
la sécurité et leur mise en ¦uvre influencent le travail); solutions
pour une économie changeante (restructuration économique et influence
qu'elle a sur le travail et la main-d'¦uvre); et amélioration de l'accès
au marché du travail (éducation, formation et autres soutiens tels que
les services de garde à l'enfance).

Commerce & Politics of
Science
September 21-24, 2006. University of Notre Dame, South Bend, IN
Recent years have seen increasing debate about the merits of private
funding for scientific research, the growing prominence of "technology
transfer," patenting, and corporate sponsorship within universities, and
concern about partisan manipulation of science by government officials.
Seeking to reinvigorate and inform public discussion of these issues,
Notre Dame's Reilly Center for Science, Technology, and Values has
cooperated with the University of Bielefeld to convene an
interdisciplinary conference comprised of leading scholars, university
administrators, and public officials from the United States and Europe.
Keynote speakers:
Robert Berdahl (former chancellor of the University of California,
Berkeley)
Sheldon Krimsky (Tufts University)
Philip Mirowski (University of Notre Dame)
The conference will also include four major plenary sessions and
numerous contributed papers. A detailed description is available at:
http://www.nd.edu/~reilly/compolsci-program.html
Reflecting our desire to spark a continuing, interdisciplinary
conversation, the Reilly Center has made a special effort to include
younger scholars in the conference. To that end, a subsidized student
registration rate is available ($50 prior to August 15) and Notre Dame
graduate students have offered to share their apartments and homes with
attendees from other institutions. Those who wish to participate in this
housing program are asked to contact the Reilly Center

"Building Bridges"
A Labour Studies Conference at the University of Windsor
Windsor, Ontario, Canada
February 2nd and 3rd , 2007
Conference Theme and Objectives:
In the face of neoliberal globalization, labour market restructuring,
war, and other major challenges to social justice, labour and social
movements are struggling to create solidarity and overcome many sources
of division. This conference will explore those issues which both divide
and unite labour and social movements, and discuss current and possible
strategies for improving unity within and across movements and borders.
The conference will bring together labour researchers, artists, and
union and social movement leaders and activists to examine both the
sources of division and the potentials for solidarity.
The conference is being held at the same time as the 9th Annual Labour
Arts Festival, which will allow participants to take in a variety of
arts events over a three-day period.
Call for Participants:
Panellists: The goal of the conference is to foster reflection, debate
and strategizing based on insights derived from a variety of different
practices - academic, activist, and artistic. As such, each panel
discussion will have four to five speakers (15-20 minutes per speaker)
representing a cross-section of researchers, union leaders, activists
and artists. The presentations should be informal and address the
following questions:
- What are the major challenges to building unity in your area of
practice? What are the sources of division and in what ways do they
hinder movements?
- What initiatives are you working on to address these challenges? What
is working and what isn't?
- What strategies should be adopted to build more effective bridges?
Discussants: Each panel will also have a discussant, whose role will be
to pull together the themes emerging from the presentations and
subsequent discussions, and summarize key strategic lessons. While
panellists will not be asked to present formal papers, they will submit
a one-page summary of their presentation to the discussant in advance of
the conference.
Students: We are also particularly interested in fostering labour
studies students' participation in the conference, and in building
connections between students at different institutions. We have

City University- London
The Economics Department at City University London is looking for
someone to teach a module in International Finance for ten weeks in
Period 2, 2006-07, from Monday 22 January to Friday 30 March. The module
in International Finance (EC3012) is a Part 3 undergraduate elective
available to students on the BSc Economics, and BSc Economics &
Accountancy programmes. The vacancy arises because the normal teacher
has gained research funding for one year freeing him from teaching
responsibilities, and the vacancy will therefore be for a fixed term of
one academic year only. The module is worth 15 credit points in the City
University system, where one credit point is equivalent to a notional 10
hours' learning time (lectures + classes + private study) for a student.
The lecturer will be expected to provide two 50-minute lectures per week
for ten weeks and an additional one 50-minute class per week for the
last seven weeks. The lectures will be on Monday mornings 09:00 - 10:50
and the class also on Mondays at 12:00 - 12:50. The lecturer will also
be responsible for setting and marking coursework, a final examination,
and, if necessary, a resit examination paper.
The objective of the module in International Finance is to provide
students with an understanding and appreciation of the complexities of
the foreign exchange markets. Students will become aware of the
difficulties of exchange rate modelling and of the limitations of our
current knowledge of the subject.
Students will already have a grasp of intermediate micro- and
macro-economic theory.
The module will cover:
1. Stylised facts of the foreign exchange markets 2. The determination
of exchange rate in the international financial market 3. Monetary
policy and the exchange rate 4. Efficient market hypothesis and the
exchange rate 5. Exchange rate regimes: fixed vs floating exchange rates
6. Speculative attacks and international financial crises 7. The
evolution of the international monetary system
Indicative reading:
Copeland R, Exchange Rates and International Finance, Prentice Hall,
2000 Hallwood C P and R MacDonald, International Money and Finance,
Blackwell, 2000 Pilbeam K, International Finance, MacMillan, 1998.
The rate of pay will be £140 per hour x 27 hours = £3,780.00 (£4,447.17
incl holiday pay).

Critique of
Political Economy (COPE)
Critique of Political Economy (COPE) is a new pluralist,
interdisciplinary journal. Submissions are warmly encouraged. The call
for papers is reproduced below; full details can be found on the
journal's website at
www.copejournal.org
CALL FOR PAPERS
Critique of Political Economy (COPE), a new, interdisciplinary, refereed
journal devoted to the critique of political economy, is a project of
the International Working Group on Value Theory (www.iwgvt.org). Edited
by Alan Freeman (University of Greenwich, UK) and Andrew Kliman (Pace
University, New York, USA), with the assistance of a working editorial
board, COPE will initially appear annually and be primarily an online
journal. The first volume is scheduled for publication in March 2007.
COPE seeks to challenge and break down the separation between political
economy and social knowledge as a whole. Our editorial board includes
scholars in the fields of education, philosophy, political science,
sociology, as well as economics and accounting. We invite submissions
from researchers working in these and related fields, including
researchers from outside of academia. Contributions from the whole gamut
of heterodox economic traditions – including (but not limited to) the
Marxist, post-Keynesian, Evolutionary, Schumpeterian, and
Institutionalist traditions – are welcome.
We particularly encourage contributions that interrogate the production
of economic “knowledge” and contributions that help to challenge the
received “Whig History” of economic thought. We also particularly
encourage papers from scholars in the global South, papers dealing with
the temporal single-system interpretation (TSSI) of Marx’s value theory,
and other TSSI-informed theoretical and empirical research.
COPE is steadfastly committed to pluralism. We intend to challenge other
journals’ exclusionary practices, and the acceptance of such practices,
by demonstrating that critical pluralistic norms promote quality
research and genuine development of ideas. We uphold authors’ right to
appeal editorial decisions before a panel of disinterested persons, and
the right of authors to reply to critiques of their work. We employ a
“double-blind” review process, and COPE’s editorial board will work with
authors to improve and clarify their work, not act as “gatekeepers.”
Although only submissions “accepted for publication” become part of
COPE, other submissions that conform to the Scholarship Guidelines of
the International Working Group on Value Theory, our parent
organization, will be made available on our website as “working papers.”
We encourage you to read our complete Mission Statement,available on our
website, www.copejournal.org.

Vol. 7, No. 3 - July 2006
This issue of the economic sociology newsletter will be a special issue
about globalization. In the opening essay, Fran Tonkiss argues that the
conceptual apparatus of economic sociology may be ready for the task;
nonetheless the discipline has failed to engage directly with issues of
globalization. Valentina Mazzucato shows what such an engagement may
look like by studying the linkages between the livelihood of Ghanese
migrants in the Netherlands and the ones they left behind in their home
country. Donald Light argues that economic sociology should focus on the
many unintended or side effects of globalization. The global market for
patented drugs, where a limited number of multinational corporations
make large profits at the expense of people in need of cheap treatment,
is a case in point.
Also in this issue, Francesco Guala responds to the warning of Edward
Nik-Khah in the previous issue of the newsletter that “the enthusiasm
for the doctrine of performativity is fostering a situation where
science studies will come to increasingly resemble neoclassical
economics, if not serve as its cheerleader.” Daniel Beunza writes about
the art exhibition which he co-curated: Derivatives, new art financial
visions, which will be on view this summer in Madrid. The exhibition
shows the work of contemporary artists who are joining academics in
their intellectual exploration of the world of finance. Finally, Jens
Beckert, director of the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies
in Cologne, answers ten questions about economic sociology.

New Departures
in Marxian Theory
Stephen Resnick and Richard Wolff
Major changes have shaken Marxism over recent decades. This collection
of essays documents what has become the most original formulation of
Marxist theory as it repositions itself for the twenty-first century.
The authors’ new non-determinist and class-focused Marxist theory is
both responsive to and critical of the other movements transforming
modern social thought from postmodernism to feminism to radical
democracy and the "new social movements." In facing and trying to
resolve contradictions and lapses within Marxism, Resnick and Wolff have
confronted the basic incompatibilities among the dominant modern
versions of Marxian theory, and the fact that Marxism seemed cut off
from the criticisms of determinist modes of thought offered by
poststructuralism and post-modernism as well as by some of Marxism’s
greatest theorists.
A critique of classical Marxism’s economic and methodological
determinisms paves the way for a systematic alternative, "overdetermination,"
that is developed far beyond the fragmentary gestures of Lukacs, Gramsci,
and Althusser. Successive essays begin by returning to Marx’s original
definition of class in terms of the surplus. This class analysis is
developed and applied to produce new understandings of modern
capitalism’s contradictions, communism, households, gender differences,
income distribution, markets, and monopoly. Further chapters specify how
this "overdeterminist class theory" differentiates itself in new ways
from the alternative neoclassical and Keynesian traditions in economics.
This collection of topically focused essays enables readers to
understand and make use of a major new paradigm in Marxist thinking and
showcases the exciting analytical breakthroughs now punctuating a
Marxism in transition.

Stephen Resnick and Richard Wolff are Professors of Economics at the
University of Massachusetts in Amherst. They are the joint authors of
Class Theory and History, also published by Routledge.
The Wealth of Ideas
The Wealth of Ideas traces the history of economic thought, from its
prehistory (the Bible, Classical antiquity) to the present day. In this
eloquently written, scientifically rigorous and well documented book,
chapters on William Petty, Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, William
Stanley Jevons, Carl Menger, Léon Walras, Alfred Marshall, John Maynard
Keynes, Joseph Schumpeter and Piero Sraffa alternate with chapters on
other important figures and on debates of the period. Economic thought
is seen as developing between two opposite poles: a subjective one,
based on the ideas of scarcity and utility, and an objective one based
on the notions of physical costs and surplus. Professor Roncaglia
focuses on the different views of the economy and society and on their
evolution over time and critically evaluates the foundations of the
scarcity-utility approach in comparison with the Classical/Keynesian
approach.

All Together
Now- Common Sense for a Fair Economy
$12.00, 120 pages
ISBN: 1-57675-387-5
All Together Now: Common Sense for a Fair Economy — by Jared Bernstein,
senior economist of the Economic Policy Institute — explores how
modern-day “you're on your own" approach, or YO-YO Economics, has
trumped a sense of collaboration and joint responsibility (a WITT –
"we’re in this together"— strategy) and thus, distorted America's
current political and economic debate. The book shows how runaway
self-reliance not only has unbalanced the economic and political
discourse, but also, and more importantly, has hamstrung efforts to
develop effective solutions to shared social and economic problems.
A Chorus of Praise…
Jared Bernstein is to most economic writers what Red Bull is to decaf
latte. In All Together Now he makes such a rousing case for mutual
responsibility and shared risk that you'll leap out of your chair and
into action. Everyone in the sub-billionaire class needs to read this
book and send a gift copy to his or her elected officials.
--Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed and Bait and Switch
This vitally important and readable book couldn't have arrived at a
better time. With common sense and common decency, Bernstein shows where
we've gone off course and how to find our way back.
--Robert B. Reich, Professor of Public Policy, University of California
at Berkeley, and former U.S. Secretary of Labor
Jared Bernstein is a passionate economist who provides hard data to
describe the world as it is, and ideas to make the world more just. All
Together Now should be read and debated by all who know that the status
quo is failing us and seek a daring and bracing examination of the
reasons for our discontent.
--E. J. Dionne, syndicated columnist, author of Why Americans Hate
Politics and Stand Up Fight Back, and Professor at Georgetown University
Jared Bernstein provides a smart look at the American economy, one
deeply rooted in American values. All Together Now explains the
importance of having an economy that puts people first and ensures a
fair shake for all.

Published by Edward Elgar
Honoring Keith Griffin¹s more than 40 years of fundamental contributions
to the discipline of economics, the papers in this volume reflect his
deep commitment to advancing the well-being of the world¹s poor majority
and his unflinching willingness to question conventional wisdom as to
how this should be done.
Four overarching themes recur in Keith Griffin¹s work and this book: the
need to both eradicate poverty and redress inequalities in the
distribution of wealth within and among nations; the impact of growth on
inequality, and conversely inequality¹s impact on growth; the political
economy of policy-making; and the need for openness to heterogeneity in
both analytic tools and in policy recommendations. The volume begins
with an introduction by the editors followed by a paper by Keith
Griffin. In succeeding chapters the contributors explore strategies for
reducing poverty and inequality, and provide perspectives on issues such
as human development, the rural/urban divide in China, and biodiversity
and sustainability.
Students, researchers, policymakers and NGO analysts exploring issues in
development economics, development studies, alternative economic
systems, globalization, environmental sustainability, inequality and
well-being will find this book of great interest.

Monetary
Integration and Dollarization No Panacea
EDITED BY MATÍAS VERNENGO, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, UNIVERSITY OF UTAH
This book brings together an impressive and diverse group of authors to
discuss its central theme: whether or not the dollarized international
monetary system is sustainable in the context of the global economy it
helped create. In addition to its uniquely well-rounded and
comprehensive coverage of the issues, this lively and highly readable
volume provides an accurate assessment of the lack of consensus in the
current debate. A ³must read² for anyone interested in currency crises
and the increasing vulnerability of the dollar.¹ Jane D¹Arista,
Director of Progams, Financial Markets Center, US
This book deals with the economic consequences of monetary integration,
which has long been dominated by the Optimal Currency Area (OCA)
paradigm. In this model, money is perceived as having developed from a
private sector cost minimization process to facilitate transactions. Not
surprisingly, the book argues, the main advantage of monetary
integration in the OCA context is the reduction of transaction costs,
yet the validity of OCA to analyze processes of monetary integration
seems to be limited at best.
The contributors in this volume try to go beyond the OCA model and
understand the political economy of monetary integration by comparing
the European Monetary Union with the dollarization (formal and informal)
process in Latin America. The contributors, many of whom are leading
lights, reflect the disagreements and the changing views on the proper
monetary arrangements in a globalized world and suggest that monetary
integration and dollarization are not the solution for the great
majority of countries around the world.
Monetary Integration and Dollarization brings together mainstream and
heterodox views of monetary integration and uses the European and North
American experiences as a guide for the discussion of dollarization in
developing countries. It will appeal to scholars, researchers and policy
makers in the fields of financial and international economics.

John Kenneth Galbraith is an eminent economist and proponent of change.
The contributors to the book further his analysis on the evolution of
capitalism; taking into account changes to the general economic climate
since the publication of J.K. Galbraith¹s main thesis, they outline new
ideas which form fertile ground for new research.
The book begins with a penetrating analysis of the main features of
today¹s capitalism and in particular the conflict between shareholders
and managers. It moves on to focus on the consequences of globalization
in the decision-making processes of large corporations and represents an
important step in the development of a theory of fraud and corruption
within corporations. In the final part, the authors address and explore
the consequences of the domination of influential groups over major
social and political decisions, on the blurred boundaries between the
public and the private sectors and its consequences in the fields of the
technological regulation and the evolution of public services. In so
doing, the authors question the meaning and power of democracy in
today¹s society.
Innovation, Evolution and Economic Change will appeal to a wide
readership and audience of economists, policy makers and political
organization.

Queries from Heterodox Economists
Nick Gomersall
Many heterodox economists will know
Hugh Stretton's "Economics: A New Introduction". With Hugh's support and
that of his publisher, I have rewritten the text with two aims in mind:
to preserve the intent and underlying purpose of the book, but to make
it more suitable for the introductory undergraduate course.
A complete draft is now available, perhaps one third to one half the
length of the original. I'd very much appreciate any offers to look it
over, so that I can find out whether I have achieved these goals.
Please contact me (Nick Gomersall) at <gomersni@luther.edu>, and I'll
send you a zip file (about 2.3MB). It's not necessary, of course, to
comment on the whole MS - reviewing a few chapters would be a welcome
start - though I do hope some readers will give me their judgment of the
book's overall shape. Many thanks, then, for any kind of help that you
can provide, in the interests of widening the options available to
heterodox instructors of undergraduate courses.

Murray Bookchin, visionary social
theorist, dies at 85
Murray Bookchin, the visionary social theorist and activist, died during
the early morning of Sunday, July 30th in his home in Burlington,
Vermont. During a prolific career of writing, teaching and political
activism that spanned half a century, Bookchin forged a new
anti-authoritarian outlook rooted in ecology, dialectical philosophy and
left libertarianism.
During the 1950s and ‘60s, Bookchin built upon the legacies of utopian
social philosophy and critical theory, challenging the primacy of
Marxism on the left and linking contemporary ecological and urban crises
to problems of capital and social hierarchy in general.
Beginning in the mid-sixties, he pioneered a new political and
philosophical synthesis—termed social ecology—that sought to reclaim
local political power, by means of direct popular democracy, against the
consolidation and increasing centralization of the nation state.
From the 1960s to the present, the utopian dimension of Bookchin’s
social ecology inspired several generations of social and ecological
activists, from the pioneering urban ecology movements of the sixties,
to the 1970s’ back-to-the-land, antinuclear, and sustainable technology
movements, the beginnings of Green politics and organic agriculture in
the early 1980s, and the anti-authoritarian global justice movement that
came of age in 1999 in the streets of Seattle. His influence was often
cited by prominent political and social activists throughout the US,
Europe, South America, Turkey, Japan, and beyond.
Even as numerous social movements drew on his ideas, however, Bookchin
remained a relentless critic of the currents in those movements that he
found deeply disturbing, including the New Left’s drift toward
Marxism-Leninism in the late 1960s, tendencies toward mysticism and
misanthropy in the radical environmental movement, and the growing focus
on individualism and personal lifestyles among 1990s anarchists.
In the late 1990s, Bookchin broke with anarchism, the political
tradition he had been most identified with for over 30 years and
articulated a new political vision that he called communalism.
Bookchin was raised in a leftist family in the Bronx during the 1920s
and ‘30s. He enjoyed retelling the story of his expulsion from the Young
Communist League at age 18 for openly criticizing Stalin, his brief
flirtation with Trotskyism as a labor organizer in the foundries of New
Jersey, and his introduction to anarchism by veterans of the immigrant
labor movement during the 1950s. In 1974, he co-founded the Institute
for Social Ecology, along with Dan Chodorkoff, then a graduate student
at Vermont’s Goddard College. For 30 years, the Institute for Social
Ecology has brought thousands of students to Vermont for intensive
educational programs focusing on the theory and praxis of social
ecology. A self-educated scholar and public intellectual, Bookchin
served as a full professor at Ramapo College of New Jersey despite his
own lack of conventional academic credentials.He published more than 20
books and many hundreds of articles during his lifetime, many of which
were translated into Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Turkish and
other languages.
During the 1960s - ‘80s, Bookchin emphasized his fundamental theoretical
break with Marxism, arguing that Marx’s central focus on economics and
class obscured the more profound role of social hierarchy in the shaping
of human history. His anthropological studies affirmed the role of
domination by age, gender and other manifestations of social power as
the antecedents of modern-day economic exploitation. In The Ecology of
Freedom(1982), he examined the parallel legacies of domination and
freedom in human societies, from prehistoric times to the present, and
he later published a four-volume work,The Third Revolution, exploring
anti-authoritarian currents throughout the Western revolutionary
tradition.
At the same time, he criticized the lack of philosophical rigor that has
often plagued the anarchist tradition, and drew theoretical sustenance
from dialectical philosophy—particularly the works of Aristotle and
Hegel; the Frankfurt School—of which he became increasingly critical in
later years—and even the works of Marx and Lenin. During the past year,
even while terminally ill in Burlington, Bookchin was working toward a
re-evaluation of what he perceived as the historic failure of the 20th
century left. He argued that Marxist crisis theory failed to recognize
the inherent flexibility and malleability of capitalism, and that Marx
never saw capitalism in its true contemporary sense. Until his death,
Bookchin asserted that only the ecological problems created by modern
capitalism were of sufficient magnitude to portend the system’s demise.
Murray Bookchin was diagnosed several months ago with a fatal heart
condition. He will be remembered by his devoted family members—including
his long-time companion Janet Biehl, his former wife Bea Bookchin, his
son, daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter—as well as his friends,
colleagues and frequent correspondents throughout the world. There will
be a public memorial service in Burlington, Vermont on Sunday, August
13th. For more information, contact info(at)social-ecology.org.
