Issue 319 November 13, 2023 web pdf Heterodox Economics Directory
In my last editorial, I posted a lengthy note on the importance of shared infrastructures for community-buildung, thereby also emphasizing the need to advance "joint visions of teaching political economy". Building on this intuition, I wanted to use the opportunity to point to the recently published "Teaching Heterodox Economics Magazine", that is available freely on the web and tries to contribute to such joint visions by providing commentaries, instructions and reports on the teaching of diverse aspects of heterodox economics. Other potentially great resources for teaching and learning heterodox economics, that made their way into this issue of the Newsletter include the Ben Fine's collected articles on economic imperialism (in two books ;-), the latest call for the very successful (and now slightly relabeled) EPOG master program or this very fine article on how heterodox economics and economic geography have much potential for cross-fertilization. Most probably, there are even more gems hidden, so be sure to look closely ;-)
In a very similar spirit our hands at the Newsletter team are currently somewhat tied with the (slightly urgent ;-) task of rebuilding the Heterodox Economics Directory. While we have made some progress in the past weeks, finalising the revision is still a long way ahead. Nonetheless, in the meantime we are happy to receive any input you might have with regard to the future edition of the Directory – any suggestions on requested updates, new inclusion of entries or conceptual question are highly appreciated. In case, simply send us an email.
Many thanks and all the best,

Since 2007, the History of Recent Economics Conference (HISRECO) has brought together researchers from various backgrounds to study the history of economics in the postwar period. The increasing availability of archival materials, along with the development of new perspectives inherited from the larger history and sociology of knowledge, has helped to provide insightful histories of the development of recent economic practices, ideas, and techniques. In particular, this area of research offers good opportunities to young scholars who are interested in interdisciplinary approaches to the history of economics.
We invite researchers in the history of postwar economics and related fields to submit a paper proposal of no more than 800 words. Proposals should be sent electronically (as a pdf file) to Andrej Svorenčík (asvo@sas.upenn.edu) by November 15, 2023. Successful applicants will be informed by December 15, 2023. Drafts of the presented papers are due by April 15, 2024.
We aim to provide financial support to selected participants, but as yet cannot make any firm commitments on this. Preference will be given to young scholars. Scholars who are interested in such funding should include in their proposal a CV of no more than two pages, including current affiliation and year of thesis defense (if applicable) and a list of publications.
Deadline for application: 15 November 2023

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.

15 January – 19 January 2024 | Leysin, Switzerland
Located in a historical resort of the Swiss Alps, the GLOBE Winter School in International Relations provides a unique environment for PhD students and early post-doc researchers intending to immerse themselves within the discipline of International Relations. The GLOBE Winter School builds up from the idea to create innovative young scholar network workshops with colleagues from Groningen, Lausanne, Oslo, Brussels and Erfurt (GLOBE). It focuses on recent epistemological advances in non-positivist scholarship and delivers expertise through tailor-made roundtables, PhD and young scholar presentations, walk & talk sessions and collective readings.
This year the overall theme is “Facing failure in international relations”, but papers presented by participants do not need to directly engage with the theme. Failure has gained traction in recent years as a concept to appraise anything considered to have gone wrong. It also embraces outcomes of research practices that falls short of expectations, let alone feeding debates on the state the discipline of international relations sometimes self-described as having failed to pursue a grand theoretical vision of the globe in which human and non-human live together. The winter school provides a space to discuss various domains of failure, such as policy, security, regulatory, market and development failures. It also gives time for engaging in a critique of failure/success binaries and questioning how, when, and why something may be described as a failure, by whom, and with what consequences. In short, the winter school will be considered as a success if its participants push the concept of failure in such a way as to widen our imaginaries and projection into an uncertain future.

Over the last decade, the European Union (EU) has faced a series of intertwined crises, including the Global Financial Crisis in 2008 and the structural adjustment programmes imposed by the EU and the IMF on several member states; the increase of flows of refugees triggered by war and famines and the humanitarian disaster caused by Fortress Europe; Brexit and the rise of Euroscepticism. In turn, new crises have emerged and further intensified the previous ones: the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the impending climate catastrophe. Some scholars have referred to this situation as “Polycrisis” (Tooze, 2022). The EU has responded with a number of policy initiatives including the European Green Deal, the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility, the REPowerEU Plan, ensuring energy security independent from Russia, and the European Critical Raw Materials Act. Critical Political Economy (CPE) is well placed to analyse the European Polycrisis and its impact on EU integration. Since the relaunch of the process of European integration in the 1980s, CPE scholars have analysed the various facets of European integration, uncovering the complexities and contradictions that shape its development, the power dynamics underlying them and their socio-economic outcomes, going beyond the limitations of mainstream European integration studies and political economy.
Many of these contributions have been collected in edited volumes, which have become key references to map the evolution of European integration over time (e.g., Bieler and Morton, 2001; Cafruny and Ryner, 2003; Overbeek, 2003; van Apeldoorn et al., 2009; Petros et al., 2012; Crespy and Menz, 2015, Jäger and Springler, 2015). These books are fundamental to understanding the trajectory of EU integration until the late 2010s. Yet, we believe that the European Polycrisis and the changes it triggered to form and content of EU integration call for a new round of contributions, which are also able to address some of the ‘blind spots’ of critical approaches to EU integration. The aim of this workshop is to foster critical discussions that go beyond conventional narratives of European integration, delving into its underlying power structures, inequalities, socio-political implications, and its relationship with the global context. The final output of the workshop will be an edited volume including the contributions presented at the workshop.
We invite submissions that engage with various aspects of the European Polycrisis from a critical political economy perspective. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
For Application please send your abstract to Andreas.Bieler@nottingham.ac.uk

Ecologies of Labour: A case study
This project will explore the potential for working practices to be reimagined in ways that are ecologically sustainable, perhaps even regenerative, and which produce benefits for more-than-human societies. Despite extensive evidence that human activities have produced an ecological and environmental crisis, and the central role of labour within human-environment interactions, responses to the environmental crisis by western academia and policy-makers have so far largely been limited to consumption and, within production, to outputs, processes and materials.
Humans have practised more ecologically sound forms of labour for thousands of years, taking a multitude of forms across the world, but under the hegemony of modern Western capitalism much of this has been repressed, denigrated as ‘backward’, or simply forgotten. In other cases, innovative practices have been developed but these are largely small scale, poorly resourced, and under-valued.
Focusing on a specific form of labour chosen by the applicant, which might be traditional, indigenous and/or based on recent innovations, this project will explore its origins, the relations it produces between labourers and themselves, other members of society, and nature, and its potential to contribute to the future of work. As part of their proposal applicants are encouraged to consider the potential for embodied forms of knowledge, cultural transmission of labouring practices, and the social relations that govern access to the material resources required for this labour.

The four projects are:
We're interested in supporting the development of a range of methodological approaches, including computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling involving applied scenario development, systematic review of existing evidence, system dynamics and other energy systems modeling approaches, and/or analysis that supports wider public policy decision making through an understanding of the political economy.
This is an opportunity for four PhD candidates to join a growing team of researchers, academics, and knowledge exchange professionals at the University of Strathclyde’s Centre for Energy Policy (CEP). CEP was part of the School of Government and Public Policy’s submission to the Research Excellence Framework (REF), which Times Higher Education has ranked as number 1 across the UK in the Politics and International Studies Unit of Assessment.
Virtually all of the School’s research outputs were rated as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ and 100% of the impact of this research, which included a CEP impact case study, was rated as outstanding (4*). At CEP, the students will have access to a team of researchers working across the Net Zero space and would benefit from interaction with them, as well as access to personal development training fund which is provided centrally from the University. These funds could support, for example, attendance at conferences and participation in relevant training.
Successful candidates will undertake a PhD project that will contribute to expanding the evidence base and providing policy and decision-makers with the necessary evidence to effectively address the challenge of transitioning to a prosperous, sustainable, and more equitable net-zero economy in the UK.

The History of Economics Society is delighted to announce the winner of this year's Best Conference Paper by a Young Scholar Prize.
The prize committee, consisting of Renee Prendergast (chair), D. Wade Hands, and Shinji Nohara, decided to award the 2023 prize to Ibanca Anand for her paper 'Resisting Narrative Closure: The Comparative and Historical Imagination of Evsey Domar', presented during the recent HES Meetings in Vancouver, BC:
"Most of us remember Evsey Domar as an early contributor to growth theory. Ibanca Anand’s paper is instead about his contributions to comparative economics and economic history, specifically his work on the economy of the USSR during the cold war era and on Russian economic history. By closely examining Domar’s intellectual arguments on technical matters such as index numbers, Anand shows that Domar recognised the complexity and indeterminacy of economic problems and preserved a space within which to recognise a diversity of approaches to economic life and its measurement. As Anand also shows, Domar’s work on the history of serfdom in Russia brings out the importance of context and the limitations of purely economic explanations of events. Anand takes a unique approach to historical narratives by emphasizing Domar's "penchant for ambiguity" and resistance to closure, particularly scientific closure. The paper provides an excellent example of the way in which history of economic thought can embrace complexity and be relevant to a wide range of scholarly interests. It is written in an engaging style. Its arguments are extremely clear and supported by excellent scholarship."

AISPE (The Italian Association for the History of Economic Thought) is pleased to announce AISPE AWARDS 2023 winners:
M. Alacevich, Albert O. Hirschman. An Intellectual Biography, Columbia University Press, 2021
Michele Alacevich's volume is a well-written intellectual biography. It offers a balanced and original analysis of Hirschman's inquiries into the evolution of economic systems in the light of the complex and multifaceted connections between the political, economic, and social dimensions. Moreover, the volume thoroughly inserts Hirschman's ideas into his time's intellectual debate, evaluating their impact on economics, policymaking and, more generally, on social sciences during the second half of the 20th century.
Herrade Igersheim “Rawls on the economists: The (im)possible dialogue”, Revue économique, 2022, 6: 73, pp. 1013-1037
Igersheim’s article is a remarkable in-depth reconstruction of the dialogue between John Rawls and economists like Arrow, Buchanan, Musgrave, Harsanyi, Sen, Samuelson and others. The article is built on rigorous and new archival work done on Rawls’ correspondences. Igersheim’s narration of this controversy is a pleasure to read and sheds new light on crucial debates about the concept of justice, at the crossroads of economics and philosophy.
Gianluca Damiani, William H. Riker and the adoption of Game Theory in Political Science Dottorato di ricerca in mutamento sociale e politico, University of Florence-Turin
Gianluca Damiani’s PhD dissertation takes an original perspective on the transdisciplinary journey of the concepts and the mathematical tools of game theory from economics to political sciences in the U.S. postwar era. Damiani’s work combines with rigor and originality a variety of sources (including an impressive archival work) and different approaches to the history of economics.

People across the globe engage in social and solidarity economics to help themselves, their community, and society on their own terms.
Community Economies in the Global South examines how people who conscientiously organize rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs) bring positive changes to their own lives as well as others. ROSCAs are a long-established and well documented practice, especially those organized by women of colour. Members make regular deposits to a fund as a savings that is then given in whole or in part to each member in turn based on group economics. This book spotlights women in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia who organize and use these associations, composed of ordinary people belonging to similar class origins who decide jointly on the rules to suit the interests of their members. The case studies show how they vary greatly across countries in the Global South, demonstrating that ROSCAs are living proof that diverse community economies do exist and have been around for a very long time. The contributors recount stories of the self-help, activism, and perseverance of racialized people in order to push for ethical, community-focused business, and to hold onto local knowledge, grounded theory, and lived experience, reducing the need to rely on external funding as people find ways to finance sustainable, debt-free business ventures. The first collection on this topic edited by two women of colour with roots in the Global South, this volume is a rallying call to other scholar-activists to study and report on how racialized people come together, pool goods, and diversify business in the Global South.

In Economics Imperialism and Interdisciplinarity: Before the Watershed, Ben Fine offers a selection of his key articles charting the rise of economics imperialism. Each article is accompanied by a preamble that sets the context in which it appeared, with an overall introduction drawing out the overall significance for contemporary scholarship. Ranging over mainstream and heterodox economics, the disputes between them, the relationship between economics and other disciplines, and thinkers as diverse as Kuhn, Becker and Bourdieu, the collection offers a unique and compelling account of how mainstream economics has both changed dramatically whilst its core and narrow principles have remained as sacrosanct as they are invalid. The volume is imperative for those engaging in political economy across the social sciences.

In Economics Imperialism and Interdisciplinarity: The Watershed and After ,Ben Fine selects and adds to his key articles tracking economics imperialism through three phases, focusing on the last decade of the third phase – anything goes as with freakonomics. Each article is accompanied by a preamble setting the context in which it appeared, with a new overall introduction and literature survey drawing out the overall significance for contemporary scholarship. Ranging over mainstream and heterodox economics, the disputes between them, the relationship between economics and other disciplines, and authors such as Lazear, Stiglitz and Akerlof, the accelerating presence of economics imperialism is documented alongside its perverse, critical neglect. The volume is imperative for those engaging in political economy across the social sciences.

Evolutionary Social Theoryand Political Economy traces the origins, extension, marginalization and revival of evolutionary approaches to social theory from the Enlightenment through the beginning of the 21st century. It demonstrates how changes in understandings of social evolution corresponded to changes in definitions of Political Economy and how both reflected changes in the Philosophy of Science. This book is written for students and researchers alike in all the social sciences. Economists will benefit from understanding how ideas about evolution in Economics corresponded to ideas about evolution in other social sciences, and Social Scientists outside of Economics will benefit from understanding how Economics has related to their discipline.

This timely book offers an engaging contemporary analysis of research into the gender pay gap while also providing important nuanced observations. It illustrates the variant methodologies that have been employed by researchers who have attempted to elucidate this challenging topic.
Explaining the Gender Wage Gap examines often-neglected factors that highlight women’s lower earnings compared to men, such as risk aversion and the negotiation process. Chapters compare feminist and neoclassical discrimination theories whilst analysing models used to calculate the gender wage gap. They conclude that modern discrimination against women in the labour market may be less severe than public assumptions suggest.
Due to its investigative content, this intriguing book will be perfect for researchers and students exploring macroeconomics, the labour market and gender discrimination. It will also be beneficial for university professors lecturing in subjects such as economics, sociology and labour policy.

The title of this book may seem to confuse two separate disciplines – finance and macroeconomics. However, it is based on the fact that finance and macroeconomics were integrated, at least in their formative years. It is a natural extension of a line of research that dominated monetary theory in the early part of the 20th century. Economists such as Keynes, Robertson, Hawtrey, Fisher, Hayek and Schumpeter sought to blend the analysis of business cycles with their (often first-hand) experience of money and financial markets. The result was a monetary theory that provided the fertile background to what came to be called macroeconomics. However, in the post-war period, the monetary aspects of this theory dropped out of sight in the neo-classical synthesis and hydraulic Keynesianism. Post-Keynesians such as Davidson and Minsky have done much to try to restore the monetary aspects of the theory, but the other – more technical– aspects of financial analysis have been ignored. Paradoxically, these aspects now form an integral part of the curriculum of finance and business departments and are the tools of the trade in financial analysis. This book aims to show how these tools of financial analysis were initially part of the early investigations of macroeconomics and how they maybe used to provide a realistic analysis of the behavior of modern financial economies.

The Handbook of Feminist Research Methodologies in Management and Organization Studies focuses on the interlinkages between feminist theories, methodologies and research methods.
This groundbreaking Handbook analyses classic feminist theoretical texts and their methodological implications as well as topical approaches to management and organization studies, including postcolonial feminism, critical race theory and new feminist materialisms. The book discusses what kind of methodological and methods-related concerns different theoretical approaches call forth and highlights them through empirical examples. Featuring contributions from leading scholars in the field of management and organization studies, the book examines knowledge production through different theoretical perspectives, including standpoint feminism, feminist post-structuralism, postcolonial feminism and queer analysis. Providing a critical and analytical lens through which to view traditional research practices, it offers insight into how to tackle ethical and practical issues related to feminist research.
This book is a vital resource for graduate and postgraduate students in management and organization as well as gender and management. It also provides feminist scholars with a comprehensive overview of the contemporary debates in the field. The book is a key resource for any student and scholar engaged in qualitative methodologies and research methods in management, and organization studies and social sciences in general.

This ground-breaking Handbook broadens empirical and theoretical understandings of work, work relations, and workers. It advances a global, intersectional labour studies agenda, laying the foundations for the politically emancipatory project of decolonising the political economy of work.
Moving beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries, this Handbook provides a comprehensive account of the relations between different forms of work, exploitation, class configuration and worker resistance. With insights from global experts across the social sciences, it examines changes in technology, geographies of production, and the dynamics of the global capitalist political economy to map modern configurations of work. Using ongoing empirical qualitative research, contributors explore key issues such as capital accumulation, migration, digital work, trade unionism and reproductive labour. There is a particular focus on perspectives from the Global South, with in-depth analyses of class and work in countries and regional economic blocs used to explore the dynamics between the local and the global.
Providing an authoritative overview of traditional and current debates, this Handbook will be an essential resource for students and researchers of political economy, industrial relations and the sociology of work, critical management studies, social movement studies, and development.

Drawing on the knowledge of highly experienced academics, this authoritative Handbook explains how ethics can inform the teaching of economics. It includes state-of-the-art moral theory alongside traditional approaches to emphasise why ethics should be an important consideration for economic practitioners.
The Handbook of Teaching Ethics to Economists keenly demonstrates how economic analysis can reflect implicit moral judgements. Chapters include guidance on course design and lesson content, providing insight into important topics such as ecological and grassroots economics. They offer pedagogical advice alongside philosophical analyses, setting out teaching guidance and significant case-study profiles on key theories, such as Kantian and Aristotelian ethics. Importantly, they reflect on the potential of economics to cause harm and use ethics to mitigate this possibility.
This expansive Handbook will be essential for academics preparing to teach courses relating to ethics and economics. Due to its detailed explanations of the societal role of economics, students of economics and finance will additionally find this Handbook to be incredibly useful.

By Bruno Jossa | Edward Elgar, 2023
Bruno Jossa expertly illustrates that the creation of a system of cooperative firms is tantamount to a revolution giving rise to a new production mode capable of reversing the existing relationship between capital and labour. The book also demonstrates a revolution enacted by peaceful and democratic means in order for worker-managed organisations to outnumber capitalistic ones.
Providing a comprehensive insight into these models, Jossa examines the relations between political power and economic democracy, ownership and bankruptcy risks within democratic organisations. Using the theories of Marx and Engels, the book offers a new model of socialism, allowing for a worker-led system and suppressing capitalism, whilst inviting a more theoretical approach without the suppression of markets.
Thought-provoking in its approach, On Market Socialism will provide an excellent resource for policy makers in labour and political economics and also scholars of the history of economics and radical economics.

By Roberto Vélez Grajales & Luis Monroy-Gómez-Franco | Grano de Sal, 2023
No soccer team likes to play on a field that gives advantages to some players and affects others. Nor does it mean that the rules change in each match or that the referee applies them to benefit the rival. A requirement for the final score to be fair is that the effort of each footballer is not hindered by anything or anyone, and that chance exercises its rule equally among all those who take to the field. In short, an even court is needed. Roberto Vélez Grajales and Luis Monroy-Gómez-Franco are convinced that something similar must happen with citizens and their access to the best that life offers. In these pages, they break a spear for equal opportunities, understood as a way to provide public services equitably - for example, health care or education -, to promote social mobility, to highlight the efforts of individuals and to engage public institutions to moderate inequalities. These pages present the key concepts of this bold approach, respond to its critics - including those who confuse it with meritocracy -, describe the personal circumstances that in Mexico cause all types of inequity - such as the level of education of parents or skin color—and even general lines of action from the State are proposed. With the forcefulness of a manifesto aimed at ordinary people and the solidity of a scientific article, For an even playing field is an urgent call to achieve a fairer Mexico.

By Mariya Ivancheva | Stanford University Press, 2023.
Over the last few decades, the decline of the public university has dramatically increased under intensified commercialization and privatization, with market-driven restructurings leading to the deterioration of working and learning conditions. A growing reserve army of scholars and students, who enter precarious learning, teaching, and research arrangements, have joined recent waves of public unrest in both developed and developing countries to advocate for reforms to higher education. Yet even the most visible campaigns have rarely put forward any proposals for an alternative institutional organization. Based on extensive fieldwork in Venezuela, The Alternative University outlines the origins and day-to-day functioning of the colossal effort of late President Hugo Chávez's government to create a university that challenged national and global higher education norms.
Through participant observation, extensive interviews with policymakers, senior managers, academics, and students, as well as in-depth archival inquiry, Mariya Ivancheva historicizes the Bolivarian University of Venezuela (UBV), the vanguard institution of the higher education reform, and examines the complex and often contradictory and quixotic visions, policies, and practices that turn the alternative university model into a lived reality.
This book offers a serious contribution to debates on the future of the university and the role of the state in the era of neoliberal globalization, and outlines lessons for policymakers and educators who aspire to develop higher education alternatives.

by Sebastian Edwards I 2023, Princeton University Press
In The Chile Project, Sebastian Edwards tells the remarkable story of how the neoliberal economic model—installed in Chile during the Pinochet dictatorship and deepened during three decades of left-of-center governments—came to an end in 2021, when Gabriel Boric, a young former student activist, was elected president, vowing that “If Chile was the cradle of neoliberalism, it will also be its grave.” More than a story about one Latin American country, The Chile Project is a behind-the-scenes history of the spread and consequences of the free-market thinking that dominated economic policymaking around the world in the second half of the twentieth century—but is now on the retreat.
In 1955, the U.S. State Department launched the “Chile Project” to train Chilean economists at the University of Chicago, home of the libertarian Milton Friedman. After General Augusto Pinochet overthrew socialist president Salvador Allende in 1973, Chile’s “Chicago Boys” implemented the purest neoliberal model in the world for the next seventeen years, undertaking a sweeping package of privatization and deregulation, creating a modern capitalist economy, and sparking talk of a “Chilean miracle.” But under the veneer of success, a profound dissatisfaction with the vast inequalities caused by neoliberalism was growing. In 2019, protests erupted throughout the country, and in 2022 Boric began his presidency with a clear mandate: to end neoliberalismo.
In telling the fascinating story of the Chicago Boys and Chile’s free-market revolution, The Chile Project provides an important new perspective on the history of neoliberalism and its global decline today.

The Governance of Financialization in Latin America and East Asia analyses how states in these areas have adopted different monetary, financial, and foreign exchange policies to govern financialization, which have induced varying levels of state control over financial markets.
The book analyzes the puzzling observation of policy divergence by investigating how countries have reacted differently to major financial crises since the 1970s. It shows how Argentina and Japan selected a governance approach to financialization that followed Western prescriptions by propelling unregulated financialization; but also how Chile and South Korea, by contrast, crafted policies to reduce the negative effects of financialization on economic development and financial stability. The book identifies variegated expertise in central banks, ministries of finance, expert commissions, and research institutions that has informed policymaking across Argentina, Chile, Japan, and South Korea since the 1970s. It then demonstrates how governments have used experts to achieve diverse political objectives and explains how governments can use experts to enhance state agency to counter globalization pressures.
This book will appeal to scholars of International Political Economy, comparative politics, economics, sociology, development studies, and Latin American and East Asian history. It will also be of interest to economists and policymakers who want to safeguard financial stability and promote economic growth.

By Branko Milanovic | Harvard University Press, 2023
A sweeping and original history of how economists across two centuries have thought about inequality, told through portraits of six key figures. “How do you see income distribution in your time, and how and why do you expect it to change?” That is the question Branko Milanovic imagines posing to six of history’s most influential economists: François Quesnay, Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, Vilfredo Pareto, and Simon Kuznets. Probing their works in the context of their lives, he charts the evolution of thinking about inequality, showing just how much views have varied among ages and societies. Indeed, Milanovic argues, we cannot speak of “inequality” as a general concept: any analysis of it is inextricably linked to a particular time and place.
Visions of Inequality takes us from Quesnay and the physiocrats, for whom social classes were prescribed by law, through the classic nineteenth-century treatises of Smith, Ricardo, and Marx, who saw class as a purely economic category driven by means of production. It shows how Pareto reconceived class as a matter of elites versus the rest of the population, while Kuznets saw inequality arising from the urban–rural divide. And it explains why inequality studies were eclipsed during the Cold War, before their remarkable resurgence as a central preoccupation in economics today.
Meticulously extracting each author’s view of income distribution from their often voluminous writings, Milanovic offers an invaluable genealogy of the discourse surrounding inequality. These intellectual portraits are infused not only with a deep understanding of economic theory but also with psychological nuance, reconstructing each thinker’s outlook given what was unknowable to them within their historical contexts and methodologies.

The Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University is now accepting applications for the 2024-25 Visiting Scholars program. Each year the Center brings together Visiting Scholars who are pursuing their own research projects in the history of political economy. Visiting Scholars may come to the Center for either a semester, a full academic year (which runs from the end of August to the beginning of May), or a twelve-month period. (Those who wish to come for shorter stays may wish to consult the Academic Visits section.) Though the principal purpose of the program is to allow successful applicants to pursue their own research, Visiting Scholars are invited to join a vibrant intellectual community by participating in the many other programs (e.g., workshops, HOPE lunches, and conferences) that the Center offers. More junior scholars may also wish to sit in on classes during term and to participate in the Summer in the Archives program.
Funding
The Center has funding available for Visiting Scholars. When possible, Visiting Scholars should attempt to bring their own funding through some combination of support from their own university (e.g., fellowships or sabbatical funds) and from outside foundations. We recognize that more junior scholars may not have ready access to such support, and typically we fully fund their stays. Sometimes our acceptance of an applicant’s proposal will be contingent on either the applicant or the Center being able to secure outside funds. Funding is only available during the regular academic year, when school is in term (late August through early May).
For a complete description of the program and how to apply, please visit the Center website.
