Issue 318 October 23, 2023 web pdf Heterodox Economics Directory
When pinning down my editorial words, I often exploit the opportunity to point towards the merits of pluralism, diversity and open-mindedness in economic thought. And while I surely stand by my words, my emphasis should not discount the fact that political economy and heterodox economics also need to strive for shared conceptual foundations to foster clarity, coherence and cohesion. This conviction is the reason, why I based the definition of 'heterodox economics' on the Newsletter's website on references to shared intellectual foundations, that, in my humble view, could serve as anchoring points for our whole field.
However, the tools and instruments to foster such shared foundations go beyond referencing some conventionally shared ideas, but also encompass more soft factors: the development of shared terminologies, the advancement of joint visions of teaching political economy, the identification of a core body of literature or the availability of widely applicable tools, that help to communicate these shared intellectual foundations.
Crafting and developing such tools and approaches, that help tying together diverse notions and directions of heterodox scholarship, is difficult as it requires patience as well as oversight. While a classic example for such an 'institution' – the fantastic 'History of Economic Thought Website' compiled by the the incredible Goncalo L. Fonseca – has been featured more than once here, I was delighted to see more efforts in these directions during the past weeks and I would like to take the opportunity to highlight some.
For one, there is an increasing number of noteworthy books informed by or relevant to heterodox scholarship that becomes difficult to overlook and assess systematically. To confront these developments, two journals have recently put out initiatives to increase the prominence and importance of book reviews, namely the Review of Evolutionary Political Economy(see here for their Call for Papers for extended book) as well as Contributions to Political Economy(which has recently published an issue fully dedicated to extended book reviews). In my view these are very welcome developments that have the potential to contribute significantly to the coherence within our field.
For another, shared teaching resources are still something that could be improved massively from a heterodox viewpoint. Against this backdrop I was very enthusiastic to hear that Karsten Kohler and Franz Prante have put so much effort in their very neat website on macroeconomic models. The website presents an immensely valuable teaching resource that incorporates macro models from various traditions and contexts and offers the possibilty to conduct one's own model simulations in a very accessible framework. On top, all this is accompanied by nice model descriptions and visulizations that make the contents accessible also to newcomers.
Finally, coherence within our field often also depends on visibility outside our field. Communicating our core notions also to the economic mainstream and to other academic disciplines is another essential – and at least with the mainstream – often difficult task. Hence, I was happy to see that a paper on uncertainty as a core heterodox notion has made its way into World Development: It has the very nice title 'Economics for an uncertain world' and has been written by George DeMartino, Ilene Grabhel and Ian Scoones. Many thanks for the effort go to the authors of this important and well-crafted paper, which hopefully will have much impact ;-)
In this spirit, keep up the good work and all the best,
Jakob

The pitfalls of platform economies, struggles for unionisation in digital entertainment companies, outsourcing and exploitation in social media enterprises, fragile global commodity chains in hardware production: Topics of labour and digital industries are prominent in today’s news headlines. These themes, however, have a history that goes back several decades. Studying industrial relations at the dawn of computing, the struggles over automation and digitization, and the emergence of new forms of work can provide us with a better understanding of digital labour relations and struggles. The 2024 ITH conference addresses the role of industrial relations, labour struggles and knowledge regimes in the history of computing and IT - both in computer-related industries (hardware and software) and the IT services sector shaping the “old”, established industries. Covering the time frame between the establishment of the commercial computer industry in the post-war era through the breakthrough of home and personal computing in the late 1970s until the commodification of digital communication in the 1990s, and aiming at a global perspective, we would like to address questions that are crucial for the history and present of labour and digitization.
Possible questions could be:
We welcome papers that strive to address these and related questions, and highly welcome contributions focussing on regions that traditionally lay outside the
geographical scope of digital history, such as Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa.
SUBMISSION
Proposed papers should include:
The abstract of the suggested paper should contain a separate paragraph explaining how and (if applicable) to which element(s) or question(s) of the Call for Papers the submitted paper refers. The short CV should give information on the applicant’s contributions to the field of labour history, broadly defined, and specify (if applicable) relevant publications. For the purpose of information, applicants are invited to attach a copy of one of these publications to their application.

Dear Colleagues,
I am editing a special issue entitled “Reimagining EU Politics: Embracing Feminist Epistemic Justice and Decolonial Perspectives” to be published by the Journal of Gender Studies, as part of my Jean Monnet Chair on “Feminist Epistemic Justice in the EU and Beyond (FEJUST)”. In this special issue, I invite papers employing theoretical perspectives aimed at challenging and dismantling androcentric distortions by adopting a feminist and decolonial approach and providing visibility to intersectional voices in shaping and interpreting the everyday implications of EU policymaking. By scrutinizing power hierarchies in knowledge production and policymaking within the EU, this special issue aims to address race and gender-insensitive policy outcomes.
I will conduct a series of workshops with selected abstracts to ensure coherence and consistency across all papers. The estimated time of publication for the special issue is early 2025. However, papers that successfully complete the peer review process will be published “online first” without waiting for other papers in the special issue. Detailed information on the call for papers is available both on the FEJUST website (https://lnkd.in/d5eduTyd) and the Journal of Gender Studies website. If you are interested in discussing your paper ideas, I am happy to discuss them individually. If so, please contact me at rahime.kurum@bau.edu.tr. We can arrange an online meeting or exchange emails to discuss.
The deadline for submitting abstracts is 30 October 2023 and the deadline for submission of the full manuscript is 1 July 2024. You can send your abstracts to fejust@bau.edu.tr or rahime.kurum@bau.edu.tr.
I will be happy if you consider taking part in the special issue and/or circulate the call for papers to potentially interested researchers.
Kind regards,
Rahime

Context and motivation:
Capital theory is one of the fields where Luigi Pasinetti provided outstanding and original contributions. From his enlightening exposition of Joan Robinson’s ‘spectrum’ of techniques and the Wicksell effect (Pasinetti, 1958, 1978); to his sharp analysis of the impossibility of ordering the techniques of production monotonically according to their degree of mechanization, so that an increase of the rate of profit may bring about a reduction but also an increase in the value of capital per worker (Pasinetti, 1965, 1966), as well as the refutation of Robert Solow’s attempt to provide an expression of the marginal productivity of capital for the society as a whole (Pasinetti, 1969).
These contributions by Pasinetti, together with significant others by Pierangelo Garegnani, triggered a major criticism to neoclassical capital theory, and more generally, to the entire logical structure of marginalist theories. Many authoritative neoclassical economists took the blow: some of them admitted the problems, others tried to minimize them, whilst others tried to circumvent them by reformulating the general equilibrium model in such a way to overcome the problems addressed at the cost of introducing further assumptions that, at best, significantly reduced the explanatory power of the model.
Together with Joan Robinson, Piero Sraffa and Pierangelo Garegnani, Luigi Pasinetti can certainly be regarded as an originator of the strand of criticism to the internal logic of the marginalist/neoclassical approach. Alongside this, he also gave several positive contributions to capital theory, which were mainly conceived in view of the construction of his model of structural economic dynamics (Pasinetti, 1963, 1965, 1981, 1993). In particular, one of the first of these contributions, concerning the notion of vertical integration in multi-sectoral models of production, was published in Metroeconomica in 1973 (Pasinetti, 1973).
Aim and Topics:
This special issue of Metroeconomica aims to collect new contributions which can shed light on the complicated relationships between production relations, distributive variables and relative prices, following or inspired by the work of Luigi Pasinetti. In particular, we call for original contributions on the following themes:
Timeline and other details:
Scholars interested in submitting a full paper are invited to submit a manuscript proposal with a title and abstract of (approximately) 400 words by e-mail to Enrico Bellino (enrico.bellino@unicatt.it) and Ariel L. Wirkierman (a.wirkierman@gold.ac.uk).
The guest editors will select proposals on the basis of their fitting the aims and scope of the special issue. The managing editors of Metroeconomica will follow the usual refereeing process of Metroeconomica.

A Special Issue of New Proposals: Journal of Marxism and Interdisciplinary Inquiry
Edited by: Benjamin Anderson, Steff Hui Cui Ling, and Enda Brophy
It has been 50 years since the publication of Harry Braverman’s groundbreaking book Labor and Monopoly Capital: The Degradation of Work in the Twentieth Century. Inspiring numerous debates over skill, valorization and management, Braverman’s work is remembered as one of the guiding texts of labour process analysis (LPA) and has been instrumental in critical inquiries of the labour processes of industries ranging from heavy manufacture to software design. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Labor and Monopoly Capital, John Bellamy Foster (1999) said of its legacy and influence: “Like all great Marxist thinkers, Braverman hoped that the class struggle would one day make his work dated... But in the present and immediately foreseeable future Braverman’s work constitutes a tool of the class struggle, one that we can only put aside at our own risk” (pg. 18).
In the intervening decades, Foster’s assessment has only grown in accuracy. In a period of ever-increasing insecurity and contingency, critical interrogations of working conditions are of vital importance. As the global capitalist system becomes more complex, diffuse, and seemingly impervious to challenge, a nuanced understanding of the exercise of capitalist power at the point of production is a necessary weapon in the working-class arsenal. Moreover, as the momentum of the current cycle of working-class and union organizing portends, the appetite for collective action is growing ever stronger, particularly as working conditions worsen, the environmental crisis escalates, and inequality compounds.
Recognizing this critical juncture, we call on scholars and organizers inspired by Braverman’s work to reflect on its applicability to this moment of rampant inequality, technological connectivity, and working-class militancy, to consider the ways in which Labor and Monopoly Capital can be applied to current trends in the labor process in order to reveal insights that can be used to promote working-class struggle and emancipation.
We are interested in all considerations of Labor and Monopoly Capital’s influence 50 years on. Some potential themes might include:
We welcome abstract submissions on these and other themes relating to Braverman’s legacy today. Proposals for both peer reviewed articles (around 8,000 words) and editor reviewed commentaries (around 3,000 words) should be approximately 250-350 words and should be submitted by using this Google form. Please clearly indicate if your submission is for an article or commentary.
Full submissions will be made on the New Proposals website: https://ojs.library.ubc.ca/index.php/newproposals/about/submissions
Anticipated timeline
About New Proposals:
New Proposals: Journal of Marxism and Interdisciplinary Inquiry represents an attempt to explore issues, ideas, and problems that lie at the intersection between the academic disciplines of social science and the body of thought and political practice that has constituted Marxism over the last 150 years. New Proposals is dedicated to the radical transformation of the contemporary world order. We see our role as providing a platform for research, commentary, and debate of the highest scholarly quality that contributes to the struggle to create a more just and humane world, in which the systematic and continuous exploitation, oppression, and struggles that characterize the contemporary sociopolitical order might no longer exist.
New Proposals aims to be a venue for work that does not slot into any neat disciplinary silo. We welcome diverse papers that confront all the contradictions and possibilities of the current political moment, both from a Marxist perspective and a wider interdisciplinary horizon. Due to the location of the journal—as well as unjust global academic inequalities—we anticipate submissions will come from the U.S. and other Western contexts; still, we also hope that New Proposals will provide a place for discussions from places rendered and treated as peripheral. To this end we encourage submissions from any region and career level as well as any race- ethnic- or class-background, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.
New Proposals is a transnational peer-reviewed journal hosted at The University of British Columbia in collaboration with the UBC Library EJournal Project. It is an open access journal and uses the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.

Call for Extended Review Articles
The Review of Evolutionary Political Economy—REPE is looking for authors who want to engage in “extended” review articles. These will review at least three books in a certain field, but will go beyond a conventional review article by contextualizing the books in a research field and/or defining and developing a research field. Such extended review articles would be handled as and considered regular original research articles (with a regular review process). At the same time, it appears to be a particular opportunity for early-career scholars to engage in a field that they wish to analyze, clarify, and further develop in their own career.
As a first example and prime socio-economic issue, we suggest the thematic complex of inequality research and the origins, history, and different dimensions of socio-economic inequality. In this field, we call for the review of (at least) these three book titles in such broader contexts:
The research field of inequities/inequalities may be described, put in context, analyzed and further developed as fits. Please submit your review/research article online as usual. You should also send a brief proposal first for a quick agreement by email to welsner@uni-bremen.de.

Objectives
Starting from Schumpeter’s book, the conference would promote an open debate on how these concepts of Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy characterise our economies and their possible evolution.
The current state of capitalism, socialism, and democracy presents an opportunity to reexamine the insightful ideas put forth by Schumpeter. Starting from Schumpeter’s book, the conference would promote an open debate on how the concepts of Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy characterise our economies and their possible evolution. Drawing on the controversies around Schumpeter’s great vision, our aim is to call for a reflection in connection with the economic, political and social complex and uncertain futures after the 2008 financial crisis, COVID-19 pandemic and Ukraine war.
In 1942, Joseph Schumpeter published Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy, a book that may still be read now. It was composed during the Great Depression, fascism and nazism’s early achievements in 1940 and 1941, and in a context of an uncertain future. Schumpeter’s book was easily forgotten or, at the best, considered as an interesting but unrealistic hypothesis. To this situation, some unclear aspects of his analysis may also have played a role. In particular, it is rather unclear why the rise of the modern corporation should lead automatically to socialism and not, as actually took place, to some form of mixed economy. Relatedly, in his analysis of socialism and democracy the adoption of a top-down approach ― in the sense that he considered socialism mainly in its centralised version and democracy mainly as a competition for leadership ― does not allow a fuller appraisal of the role that other forms of
socialism and democracy can play in realising the objective of human development and social justice.
However, despite these limitations, we think that the enduring relevance of Schumpeter’s analysis lies in grasping the evolution of modern economic systems, from the individual capitalism to the managed/concerted economies of our time. These economies are characterised by the rise not only of big corporations but also by a growing importance of public action in trying to manage the contradictions of the system.
In this respect, fifty years after Schumpeter’s study, in shedding light on major elements of our economies and societies, it shows fascinating similarities with numerous contributions that, from diverse but complementary viewpoints, assess the mixed economies of our day.
In order to cast a better light on the complex reality of our uncertain times, and in the tradition of a pluralist approach to Economics, we invite contributions that develop relevant issues addressed by Schumpeter’s “Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy”, also by considering other related insights from different theories and schools of thought.
Suggested Topics
The aspects that might be covered include, but are not limited to, the following
interrelated fields:
In short, drawing on the controversies around Schumpeter’s great vision, our aim is to call for a reflection in connection with the economic, political and social complex and uncertain futures after the 2008 financial crisis, COVID-19 pandemic and Ukraine war.

16-18 February 2024 | Hyderabad, India
Workshop title: After Piero Sraffa: The Indian Understanding of Economic Theories and Development
Piero Sraffa’s pathbreaking book Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities (1960) inspired several reviews and books by Indian economists. The notable ones are by Krishna Bharadwaj, P. R. Brahmananda, Gautam Mathur, Sukhamoy Chakravarty, Arun Bose, A. K. Dasgupta. Sraffa’s ideas were variously employed to understand agriculture, economic growth, and development. An Indian edition of the classic was also published.
In this workshop, we will engage with the Indian reception to Sraffa’s economic thought. What are the findings based on the correspondence from Sraffa’s archive? Was there any intellectual connection between Sraffa’s work and the Indian Input-Output Association? How did Indian journals receive Sraffa’s 1960 work? When and how did Sraffa’s ideas enter the syllabi of Indian universities?
YSI, in association with the Indian Society of History of Economic Thought (ISHET), and in collaboration with University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad and Azim Premji University, Bengaluru, is organizing a two and half days long workshop on:
The workshop invites applications from two sets of scholars – (a) the advanced-level students, who have engaged with Sraffa’s economic thought and/or the Indian reception to Sraffa (Stream 1) and (b) graduate students who wish to be introduced to Sraffa’s political economy in some detail and plan to employ the method in their future work (Stream 2). Therefore, on one hand, this workshop will provide a platform for Masters’ and PhD students who engage with Sraffa’s political economy in their research to present their work and obtain feedback from senior scholars. On the other hand, the workshop will introduce graduate students to Sraffa’s political economy who wish to employ it in their future work. The workshop will also invite a set of senior scholars who will deliver lectures on the theme of the workshop and engage with the young scholars.

19-21 October 2023 | Berlin, Germany
After years of “Great Moderation” and efforts by central banks to fight deflation, inflation is back with a vengeance. The causes of inflation, its impacts and how to fight it have come to dominate the public discourse. These themes interact in complex ways with distributional concerns and the ecological transformation.
The causes of the current inflation remain controversial. What are the relevant weights, in different countries, of supply-side constraints, demand-side factors, mark-up power of firms, or speculation in commodity markets? What is the interaction between these factors and the role of distributional conflict between societal groups, both in driving inflation and in responding to it?
Is the green transition itself a source of inflationary pressure or part of the solution? How can a just transition be achieved? What are the likely prospects for inflation given structural changes in emerging markets and demographic trends? These questions will be at the core of the FMM Conference 2023 under the title “Inflation, Distributional Conflict and Just Transition”.
The submission of papers in the following areas is particularly encouraged:
Submissions on the general subjects of the FMM, macroeconomics and macroeconomic policy analysis and modelling, are encouraged as well. Women are strongly encouraged to apply. We particularly welcome submissions for graduate student sessions. Those who have already presented a paper at a student session in previous FMM conferences should submit to the regular sessions to improve chances for newcomers. There will also be a day of introductory lectures for graduate students prior to the opening panel on 19 October. Hotel costs will be covered for graduate student presenters (max. four nights). A limited number of travel stipends for graduate student presenters will be sponsored by INET’s Young Scholar Initiative (YSI) based on a motivation-for-funding statement. Details will be announced in decision letters by mid-August.
If you submitted a paper you should check your Inbox for further information.
The conference language is English. No participation fees will be charged.
The conference will take place as an in-person event.

Job title: Assistant Professor
The Economics Department at the University of Denver (DU) currently has seven tenure-line faculty and three teaching-line faculty. It is strongly committed to building a diverse and inclusive educational environment, which is in full accord with the value that DU places on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). As reflected in both their teaching and research, our faculty have a broader view of what economics is about than is found in the many other Economics programs in the US. We encourage students not to take in received knowledge as the truth but to examine it and question it. The Department thus offers a curriculum that emphasizes the understanding of the social apparatus that governs the production and distribution of goods and services, and an appreciation for how economic theories and ideas have developed over time. We present alternative perspectives on the historical and present-day relevance of our material, employing more primary sources and larger reading assignments than one finds in the typical US economics curriculum. Our approach naturally emphasizes the importance of writing and critical thinking and goes beyond the rote acquisition of quantitative skills.
The Department of Economics seeks to fill a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor starting September 2024. We are seeking a heterodox economist doing research in the areas of economic development and/or international trade who approaches these topics from a feminist perspective. Candidates must show promise of distinction in research and publications in these fields, and must also show promise of excellent teaching ability in these areas as well as in our introductory courses “Economics: A Critical Introduction” (ECON 1020) and/or “Introduction to Micro- and Macroeconomics” (ECON 1030). Teaching courses in our department requires familiarity with economic history, the history of economic thought, philosophy of social science, and heterodox as well as mainstream perspectives on economic theory and policy. The teaching load is five 4-credit-hour courses spread over three quarters.

by Alexandros Kentikelenis and Thomas Stubbs I 2023, Oxford University Press
The dominant policy response to economic crises over the past four decades has been the introduction of austerity—a mix of budget cuts and reforms to downsize the role of the state. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been the world's lender of last resort and leading advocate of austerity, and has been consistently chastised by policymakers and civil society for the consequences of its economic policy reforms on social protection. Critics of the IMF have identified so-called structural adjustment programs as a key cause of global increases in poverty, widespread disease, and unemployment. In the face of such criticisms, the IMF has advanced a narrative of wholesale reform to its practices.
In A Thousand Cuts, Alexandros Kentikelenis and Thomas Stubbs provide a systematic and comprehensive analysis of IMF policies around the world. Based on novel data from the IMF archives, Kentikelenis and Stubbs have generated a replicable database of all IMF-mandated reforms from 1980-2019 to examine their effects on social policies and outcomes. They reveal that although the precise content of IMF-mandated austerity has changed considerably over time, the organization continues to place a high burden of reform on countries in crisis. These reforms then decrease the availability of important social services and contribute to rises in income inequality and decline in population health.
Kentikelenis and Stubbs argue that in spite of reform rhetoric, the IMF's practices—and the outcomes they produce—have changed very little over the past three decades. As one of the first systematic assessments of the impact of austerity on people's lives around the world, A Thousand Cuts makes an important contribution to the continuing debate regarding the consequences of the IMF and how it might better support social protection.

In this first volume of Capital, Race and Space, Richard Saull offers an international historical sociology of the European far-right from its origins in the 1848 revolutions to fascism. Providing a distinct and original explanation of the evolution and mutations of the far-right Saull emphasizes its international causal dimensions through the prism of uneven and combined development.
Focusing on the twin (political and economic) transformations that dominated the second half of the nineteenth century the book discusses the connections between class, race, and geography in the evolution of far-right movements and how the crises in the development of a liberal world order were central to the advance of the far-right ultimately helping to produce fascism.

In this second volume of Capital, Race and Space, Richard Saull offers an international historical sociology of the Western far-right from the end of World War II to its contemporary manifestations in Trumpism and Brexit. Focusing on its international causal dimensions, Saull draws on the theory of uneven and combined development to provide a distinct and original explanation of the evolution and mutations of the ‘post-fascist’ far-right.
Despite the transformed geopolitical context of capitalist development after 1945 – with decolonization and the end inter-imperial rivalry – the far-right continued to be intimately connected to the consolidation of the anti-communist liberal order. Thereafter, the far-right also formed an important, if contradictory, element within the neoliberal historical bloc that emerged in the 1980s and has been the main ideo-political beneficiary of the 2007-8 neoliberal crisis.

Colonialism: A Global History interprets colonialism as an unequal relationship characterised by displacement and domination, and reveals the ways in which this relationship has been constitutive of global modernity.
The volume focuses on colonialism’s dynamism, adaptability, and resilience. It appraises a number of successive global colonial ‘waves’, each constituting a specific form of colonial domination, each different from the previous ones, each affecting different locales at different times, and each characterised by a particular method of exploiting colonised populations and territories. Outlining a succession of distinct colonising conjunctures, and the ways in which they ‘washed over’ what is today understood as the ‘Global South’, shaping and reshaping institutions and prompting diverse responses from colonised communities, Colonialism: A Global History also outlines the contemporary relevance of this unequal relation. Overall, it provides an original definition of colonialism and tells the global history of this mode of domination’s evolution and reach.

Tragically, dictatorship and civil strife have led to less developed, less democratic, and more conflict-prone contemporary Muslim-majority societies. Ahmed argues, however, that neither Islam nor aspects of Muslim culture are the cause. Grounded in a positive political economy approach, Conquests, and Rents investigates why these societies are predisposed to political violence and low levels of development. Focusing on the role of political institutions and economic rents, Ahmed argues that territories, where Islam spread via military conquest, developed institutions and practices impervious to democracy and more prone to civil war, while societies in non-conquered territories developed governance structures more susceptible to democracy when rents decline. Conquests and Rents introduces a novel theoretical argument, with corroborative qualitative and statistical analysis, to examine the interplay of the historical legacy of institutions from the premodern period and contemporary rent streams in Muslim-majority societies.

The Arab region is a focus of world politics, with authoritarian regimes, significant fossil fuel reserves and histories of colonialism and imperialism. It is also the site of potentially immense green energy resources.
The writers in this collection explore a region ripe for energy transition, but held back by resource-grabbing and (neo)colonial agendas. They show the importance of fighting for a just energy transition and climate justice - exposing policies and practices that protect global and local political elites, multinational corporations and military regimes.
Covering a wide range of countries from Morocco, Western Sahara, Algeria and Tunisia to Egypt, Sudan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Palestine, this book challenges Eurocentrism and highlights instead a class-conscious approach to climate justice that is necessary for our survival.

After the Great Financial Crisis, economic theory was fiercely criticized from both outside and inside the discipline for being incapable of explaining a crisis of such magnitude. Slowly but persistently, new strands of economic thought are developing, to replace the old-fashioned neoclassical economic theory, which have a common characteristic: they are better suited to help understand the real-world economy. This book explores the key tenets and applications of these. This book opens with an explanation of the “real world” approach to economics in which theoretical models resemble real-world situations, realistic assumptions are made, and factors such as uncertainty, coordination problems, and bounded rationality are incorporated. Additionally, this book explores the ramifications of considering the economy as both a dynamic system - with a past, present, and future - and a complex one. These theoretical precepts of the real-world economy are then applied to some of the most pressing economic issues facing the world today including ecological sustainability, the rise of corporate power, the growing dominance of the financial world, and rising unemployment, poverty, and inequality. In each case, this book reveals the insights of the shortcomings of the neoclassical approach which fails to illuminate the complexities behind each issue. It is demonstrated that, by contrast, adopting an approach grounded in the real world has the power to produce policy proposals to help tackle these problems. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the economy, including readers from economics and across the social sciences.

Making a Modern Central Bank examines a revolution in monetary and economic policy. This authoritative guide explores how the Bank of England shifted its traditional mechanisms to accommodate a newly internationalized financial and economic system. The Bank's transformation into a modern inflation-targeting independent central bank allowed it to focus on a precisely defined task of monetary management, ensuring price stability. The reframing of the task of central banks, however, left them increasingly vulnerable to financial crisis. James vividly outlines and discusses significant historical developments in UK monetary policy, and his knowledge of modern European history adds rich context to archival research on the Bank of England's internal documents. A worthy continuation of the previous official histories of the Bank of England, this book also reckons with contemporary issues, shedding light on the origins of growing backlash against globalization and the European Union.

This book is about Pentoutopia – the model of a good society. It shows how a society could be, how a society should be – a society where everyone is as free as possible, where all institutions are as democratic as possible, where all people have (relatively) equal conditions, where life is just, and where systems and processes are sustainable. The book illustrates comprehensively and in detail how institutions, organisations, the economy and society can be based on, and function according to, the principles of freedom, democracy, equality, justice and sustainability. Moreover, it demonstrates how Pentoutopia works, how its people and institutions establish and maintain a society that is not just a distant utopia but a realistic, achievable and doable utopia.

A fundamental critique of the current property regime, calling for radical social and political change.
In The Abuse of Property, Daniel Loick offers a multifaceted philosophical critique of the concept of property, broadly understood. He argues that property should not be the dominant framework in which human beings regulate the use of things, that property is not the same as use. Property rights, in his view, are not conditions of freedom or justice, but deficient, dysfunctional, and harmful ways of interacting with other people and the natural environment. He dissects not only the classic justifications of property (from John Locke's justification of property as a natural right based on individual freedom to Hegel's justification of property as a form of mutual recognition) but also the classic critiques of property, from Proudhon and Marx up to Adorno and Agamben.
Through an innovative critical approach to legal studies, Loick demonstrates how the concept of property, historically applied to things and people and still a linchpin of our distorted relation with the world, forms a direct line from the Occupy movement to Black Lives Matter and beyond.

In parallel to the development of democracy, the Athenians of the Classical period established a series of sophisticated economic institutions for the time through which they developed a maritime and commercially oriented economy. This book provides a thorough analysis of this transformation and the functioning of the Athenian economy during the Classical period. Through the approach of New Institutional Economics (NIE), the book explores the establishment of key institutions including property rights protection, the legal protection of commercial contracts, prices determined by the forces of supply and demand, institutions against profiteering, banking services, the provision of loans through interest rates, consumer credit, insurance companies and a (primitive) version of joint-stock companies. Furthermore, the book focuses on the structure of the public sector, on how the state budget was determined and on how decisions on public revenues and expenditures were made. It also provides an integrated and detailed analysis of the social welfare policies that were implemented through the provision of a variety of public goods in Classical Athens. Moreover, it focuses on a series of socio-economic aspects such as the social status of women, slaves and foreigners and the viewpoints of prominent Athenian philosophers regarding economic organization. Finally, the book investigates whether an Athenian economic-political model of governance, based on a combination of advanced economic institutions (of free market type logic, even if in a primordial form) and direct democracy principles, can provide any lessons for modern societies. The book will be of great interest to readers of the economy, history and society of Ancient Greece as well as economic historians, ancient historians and policymakers more broadly.

Natural resource extraction and primary commodity export remain persistent features of the Latin American economy. This edited volume traces the power of labor in extractive sectors in Latin America starting in the 1980s and shows how labor shapes national export sectors, economies, politics, and societies more broadly. Kristin Ciupa and Jeffrey R. Webber bring together a team of international experts who look at labor in several extractive sectors—including oil and gas, mining and agriculture, and migrant labor. They present a variety of viewpoints and case studies, exploring themes of the strategic organizing potential of extractive workers, the rise of informal labor and its impact on organizing and worker solidarity, and migrant labor-power as extraction. The book analyzes relationships between workers, extractive companies, states, political parties, national social sectors, and global commodity markets. The Labor of Extraction in Latin America puts the question of labor organizing to the forefront of discussions on Latin America’s ongoing history of extractive capitalism, its effects on nature, and resistance against it.

by Jeff Fuhrer I 2023, MIT Press
The Myth That Made Us exposes how false narratives—of a supposedly post-racist nation, of the self-made man, of the primacy of profit- and shareholder value-maximizing for businesses, and of minimal government interference—have been used to excuse gross inequities and to shape and sustain the US economic system that delivers them. Jeff Fuhrer argues that systemic racism continues to produce vastly disparate outcomes and that our brand of capitalism favors doing little to reduce disparities. Evidence from other developed capitalist economies shows it doesn't have to be that way. We broke this (mean-spirited) economy. We can fix it.
Rather than merely laying blame at the feet of both conservatives and liberals for aiding and abetting an unjust system, Fuhrer charts a way forward. He supplements evidence from data with insights from community voices and outlines a system that provides more equal opportunity to accumulate both human and financial capital. His key areas of focus include universal access to high-quality early childhood education; more effective use of our community college system as a pathway to stable employment; restructuring key aspects of the low-wage workplace; providing affordable housing and transit links; supporting people of color by serving as mentors, coaches, and allies; and implementing Baby Bonds and Reparations programs to address the accumulated loss of wealth among Black people due to the legacy of enslavement and institutional discrimination. Fuhrer emphasizes embracing humility, research-based approaches, and community involvement as ways to improve economic opportunity.

This timely book presents a nuanced investigation into the idiosyncrasies of the supermultiplier model, examining its application to residential investment, exports and fiscal policy. It offers an accessible introduction to this growth model, hypothesising that it is one of the cornerstones of modern macroeconomics.
By highlighting what this unique model adds to other heterodox systems that share common elements, such as structural growth models, this insightful book strengthens the current theoretical understanding of the new macroeconomics. Utilising important case studies such as open and decarbonised economies to encapsulate key messages gained from the study of this model, it fully acknowledges that the supermultiplier is still a work in progress and may be developed further.
The Supermultiplier will be hugely influential for finance and economics graduate students focusing on an alternative macroeconomics approach. It will also appeal to academics within the same fields searching for a model that permits direct application within spreadsheets.

Starting in 2023, Chemnitz University of Technology is offering a pluralist master's program in economics. Based on the principle of the 3P (practical relevance, problem-orientedness, pluralism), the program combines a broad theoretical and methodological foundation (also including pluralist perspectives) with specializations focused on more cutting-edge topics of pluralist economics: Inequality, climate change, technological and structural change, computational economics, history of economic thought, and monetary economics.
TU Chemnitz is a medium-sized university known for innovativeness, diversity, and an international student body. It is located in Chemnitz – one of the European cultural capitals for the year 2025 – not far from Leipzig.
The program is independently accredited in the system of the German Accreditation Council in 2023. While many lectures are offered either in English or in both German and English, there are some that are only in German, therefore a basic level of German (B2) is required. The application deadlines are January 15 (spring/summer term) and July 15 (fall/winter term). Like all public universities in Germany, TU Chemnitz does not charge tuition fees.
For more information, please visit the program website.
The application for the Spring 2024 semester is now open.
The Frederic S. Lee Heterodox Economics Scholarship has awarded over $70,000 in scholarship money to 23 different doctoral students since 2014.
In order to be eligible, students must be enrolled in a doctoral heterodox economics program in the United States and demonstrate financial need. This scholarship will not provide scholarship aid for dissertation credit hours or for credit hours that are not directly relevant for the completion of the doctoral program's coursework.
Selection criteria
Priority will be given to students who have no scholarship support at all and need the support to continue in their heterodox doctoral program. Students who have only partial scholarship support and need additional support to continue in their heterodox doctoral program will also be considered.
Preference will be given to students who are interested in working in heterodox microeconomics. Applicants from other fields of study are also encouraged to apply, especially if they are willing to do heterodox economics in an integrative manner (as opposed to adhering to a single heterodox tradition).

Application Deadline: 15 November 2023
In August 2003, the Academic Unit in Development Studies (UAED) and the Doctoral Program in Development Studies of the Autonomous University of Zacatecas "Francisco García Salinas" were created. The academic and political project that was proposed from the beginning, based on the triad of critical thinking, social commitment and solidarity internationalization, has achieved notable advances, as well as a wide recognition and projection on a national and international scale in the transdisciplinary field of critical development studies.
In 2007, the year in which the National Program of Quality Graduate Studies (PNPC) of the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) was created, the Doctorate in Development Studies was placed in the category of high-level graduate and in 2008 in the level of International Competence, to which only a small number of doctoral programs in the area of Social Sciences have been able to access.
The academic staff of the program is made up of full-time professors, the vast majority of whom belong to the National System of Researchers, including the first Emeritus in the history of the Autonomous University of Zacatecas. From 2013 to 2020, the core academic core has produced 81 books, 241 book chapters, and 329 articles in peer-reviewed and indexed journals, mostly mainstream and published by publishers of recognized national and international prestige. In addition, he has presented more than a thousand conferences and papers at national and international seminars, forums and congresses in more than 40 countries on five continents. During the same period, students produced 5 books, 34 book chapters, and 61 articles in peer-reviewed and indexed journals.
The UAED publishes three peer-reviewed journals: Migration and Development (biannual, indexed) with 36 issues published, Critical Development Studies (biannual) with 18 issues, and Development Observatory. Research, reflection and analysis (quarterly) with 26 issues. In addition, the members of the academic staff direct three editorial collections with Miguel Ángel Porrúa, one with the Canadian publisher Fernwood and another with the British publisher Routledge.
The Doctorate in Development Studies has been characterized by a meticulous selection process of applicants based on their academic careers, the relevance of their research topics and their social commitment; A certain balance has been sought in terms of multiculturalism and transdisciplinarity. Of the 77 students who have entered the doctorate, 66 have obtained the degree in a timely manner (38 from Mexico and 28 from abroad: Germany, Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Spain, United States, Honduras, England, Netherlands, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela). This accounts for an average graduation rate of 86 percent.
The program is home to three international scientific networks: the International Network on Migration and Development (INDM), the Latin American Network for Nanotechnology and Society (RELANS) and the Network for Critical Development Studies (RECD).
New Curriculum
Taking into account the experience of the first six generations of the programme, a reformulation of the curriculum has been proposed with a view to strengthening and making its contents more flexible in two aspects. First, with the establishment and strengthening of a core of subjects integrated into a common core:
Second, by offering a wide variety of elective courses under a credit system grouped around four thematic axes: global capital and geostrategic studies; labour, migration and development; science, technology and development; and capital, environment and development. These courses can be taught within the framework of the UAED or in related programs under the scaffolding of the double degree. It is not a rigid offer of subjects, but a thematic selection based on the lines of research promoted by the doctorate: global capital and geostrategic studies; labour, migration and development; science, technology and development; and space, society, environment and development.
Admission Process
The admission process will be carried out in four phases:
Important Dates
Registration of applicants (submission of documents via email): October 2, 2023 to February 29, 2024

Forthcoming (expected publication in first half of 2025):
Edward Elgar Handbook on Women in Heterodox Economics: Past, Present and Future
Editors: Alexandra Bernasek and Lynne Chester
We are seeking women heterodox economists to serve as peer reviewers for chapters in this edited collection. The collection will showcase the extent and depth to which women scholars have supported and sustained the growth and development of all traditions that comprise heterodox economics.
All chapters are written by women, the book comprises more than 30 chapters across three parts. Part 1 presents first-hand reflections of why a woman scholar adopted a heterodox tradition (or fusion of traditions), experiences as a heterodox scholar, and perceptions of their contribution to heterodoxy. Part 2 explores the impact of one woman, or several women, to a particular tradition of heterodox economics and the extent of recognition by heterodox peers. Part 3 presents first-hand reflections of emerging scholars about their opportunities, experience, and expected future as a heterodox economist, and how their scholarship will advance the future of heterodox economics.
If you would like to contribute to this project as a peer reviewer please email Alex and Lynne (Alexandra.Bernasek@colostate.edu & Lynne.Chester@sydney.edu.au) by 30 November 2023. The review process will take place in May 2024. We look forward to hearing from you!
Submission Deadline: 30 November 2023
We would like to invite researchers, lecturers, and professors in institutions both in Italy and abroad to sign up for the Register of Expert Peer Reviewers for Italian Scientific Evaluation (REPRISE).
The register is structured according to the different activities involved:
Experts included in the register will be appointed by MIUR for activities related to funding of proposals, or ex-ante, in itinere, and ex-post evaluation of research projects. More information.
The registration process is straightforward and does not take much time. You can complete your registration by following this link: https://reprise.cineca.it/en
You should register as an expert for “Fundamental research”, with ERC areas SH1 (the sector may vary, e.g. SH1_1 is for macroeconomics), and in “Academic discipline” you should select either Economics (SECS-P/01), Economic policy (SECS-P/02), and/or Applied economics (SECS-P/06). Furthermore, you will be asked to upload a CV and a list of (selected) publications.
Once registered, you could be selected as reviewers of research projects to be funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research.
Your contribution could be of great help! Having post-Keynesian and, more broadly, heterodox economists within the research evaluation committees would make a significant difference, as securing funding is crucial to open new positions for younger researchers and help our community grow.
Best regards,
