There is an old Daoist saying: “Those who speak, do not know. Those who know, do not speak.”
While I cherish this saying a lot, two minor adaptations seem in order to capture the role of economics in society. The first concerns the wording: if you replace the active “speak” with the passive “are heard”, you arrive at a rather accurate description of the public and political impact of economics – indeed, for much too long the wrong kind of economics has been “heard” and, thereby, has gained political and discursive impact.
The second modification concerns the interpretation. In my reading, the original saying reminds us to keep calm – and there surely is some wisdom in that. However, given the current turmoils here, there and everywhere, staying calm is probably not a totally apt strategy. Hence, I suggest a second reading that challenges the original intention – as a call for action to speak out and say the right thing (or, at least, something that comes close to it). Against this backdrop, we should welcome and support those economists who act on this call and contribute by speaking out on the relevant issues of our time.
One clear example of such an economist is Isabella Weber, who urges us to take the cost of living seriously as the key category by which ordinary citizens judge their political and economic environment. Weber has been relentlessly vocal in pointing out that the recent inflationary episode was largely driven by price spikes in essentials – energy, food, housing – that are further amplified by profit-seeking in concentrated industries. Her point is not merely diagnostic: since wages are the result rather than the origin of inflation, and since price spikes in essentials can destabilize economies and societies, policymakers should be prepared to act swiftly in the interest of social cohesion. Isabella has taken this argument to the European Parliament, to the op-ed pages and, after the last US election, into the broader debate, which culminated in her upcoming and already widely praised book. While one might disagree with this or that proposal, the direction is clear: take seriously what people actually experience.
Another example comes from the economic mainstream, where the Paris School of Economics advances the systematic measurement and public communication of global inequality. The World Inequality Report 2026, as a key example, compiles the work of more than 200 researchers and shows in plain numbers that the top 10% of the world’s population captures more than half of global income while owning three-quarters of global wealth; the poorest half of humanity owns a mere 2%. Again, the report also brings concrete proposals into public debate – from a minimum wealth tax on the ultra-rich to an independent intergovernmental panel on inequality. And in June, at the World Inequality Conference hosted at PSE, the Lab went one step further and released a Global Justice Report exploring what a just global distribution of resources within planetary boundaries could look like. Here we see how the more sensible branch of mainstream economics deploys an agenda aiming to change what gets “heard”.
A final example for speaking out loudly about what matters comes from Latin America. A student recently pointed me towards the Tricontinental Political Economy research program – and I am glad he did. It is not yet particularly visible in English-language academic journals, but it has built an impressive analytical apparatus for studying dependency, sovereignty and the organisation of the world economy. Three things stand out to me. First, it is genuinely pluralist: rather than treating dependency theory as a single tradition frozen in the 1960s, the project combines different strands of structuralist, institutionalist and Marxist political economy into a coherent framework for thinking about sovereignty and development. Second, it is empirically ambitious: its Structural Dependency Index measures dependency across six dimensions for 31 countries over 28 years, built on 856 country-year observations, which provides a convincing data-driven foundation for an emancipatory heterodox political economy. Third, it is remarkably attuned to the political economy of the present: it asks where the surplus goes, who owns the decisive parts of global value chains, how dependency is reproduced through finance, trade and technology – and, crucially, how the ties that strangle peripheral countries might be loosened. For an introduction, I suggest starting with this introductory piece on substack, which is the leading piece in a series of five articles that introduce the different facets of this inspiring approach (see here, here, here and here for the remainder of the series).
In this spirit: let us make sure that those who know are also heard ;-)
All the best,
Jakob

Conference Theme: What Comes Next? Authoritarianism, Democracy, and the Future of the Left
The past decade has witnessed an unprecedented crisis of liberal democracy — in the United States with the rise of Trumpism, and worldwide with the spread of authoritarian politics undergirded by populist and nationalist movements. These developments did not emerge from nowhere: neoliberal policies have generated economic inequality and political polarization on a scale not seen since the Gilded Age, with disastrous consequences for working classes, the poor, and other marginalized social groups. As these conditions have become institutionalized, we are witnessing accelerating attempts to dismantle liberal democracy itself. What is the nature of the new political and economic regime consolidating today? What is its social base of support? And what comes next for the left?
#CCPS2027 seeks to develop a critical political science research program adequate to this new political moment. We welcome paper and panel proposals across a range of themes, including:
To submit a paper or panel proposal, please email ccpsconference@yahoo.com with: (1) your name, title, affiliation, and contact information; and (2) your paper title and a 150-word abstract. For panel proposals, please submit one proposal with details for all papers.

28 January, 2027 | Oslo, Norway
The Norwegian Economic History Association (NØHF) invites submissions for the fifth Winter Games in Economic History, to be held at Oslo Business School at Oslo Metropolitan University (Pilestredet Campus), on Thursday 28 January 2027.
The organizers have retained the popular low threshold workshop format for the Winter Games. The aim is to bring together scholars as well as PhD and master’s level students to help each other develop new research ideas and paper drafts for publication. The organizers therefore welcome submissions of two kinds:
Discussants will be assigned to each paper or research idea, and all participants are expected to read colleagues’ papers and contribute to discussions.
The Winter Games is a broad arena. The organizers apply a broad understanding of economic history and welcome submissions from business history and other, neighbouring fields (i.e. historical political economy, social history, labour history, historical demography, history of economic thought, etc.).
Contributions from master’s students and junior researchers are as valuable as those from established scholars. “Norwegian” is understood in a most liberal way, i.e., scholars either based in Norway or working on a topic related to it, independent of nationality. We also welcome contributions from other Scandinavian countries. Moreover, as a low threshold arena, papers in all stages of preparation are welcome, from your roughest draft to highly polished gems.
Please send a short abstract (up to 300 words) for consideration to: norwegianeconhist@gmail.com
Please specify whether your contribution will be a draft paper (i) or the outline of a future research project (ii).
Notification of successful applicants: 5 November 2026

The Women Leaders in Finance (WIF) Platform and the Strategic Economics Alliance (SEA) at the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP), University College London (UCL), invite original research articles offering novel theoretical and/or empirical contributions on how finance, public policy, and economic decision-making can support more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient economic transformation. The call seeks insights directly relevant to real-world policy and financial decision-making and welcomes submissions from women economists, researchers, and practitioners, with an emphasis on contributors from the Global South.
The increasing complexity of global challenges — ranging from climate transition and persistent inequality to fiscal constraints and geopolitical fragmentation — has highlighted the limitations of conventional economic frameworks and financial practices. Traditional approaches have fallen short in addressing systemic, interdependent, and long-term transformations. In this context, it is urgent to rethink how economic theory can better inform public policy, as well as how public institutions can improve the design and implementation of financial decisions.
Topics of interest include:

Conference theme: Against, With, and For Artificial Intelligence – the Many Faces of Techno-Resistance
Polls and pundits frequently tell us that people distrust AI. Yet, governments continue to support AI firms and the value of chipmakers key to AI keeps rising exponentially. Many of the CEOs leading those firms continue to be the poster faces of a supposed fight against the elite yet have themselves had economic power and political influence at the centre of that elite for well over a decade. This one-day conference seeks to open up three seemingly contradictory faces of techno-resistance in the age of AI.
In an otherwise polarised age, ‘Anti-‘ or ‘Alter-AI’ (in various forms) has become the empty signifier of a movement crossing the political spectrum as well as a proxy for wider movements against centralisation. The increasing roll-out of AI in the physical world has been met by anti-robot attacks, people posting videos of their acts and encouraging others to follow suit. Environmentalists are finding new friends as they challenge new datacentres projects. Resistance against AI can also provide a means of feedback for improving real-world use of AI, as well as resistance toward representations of AI, negotiation surrounding AI regulations, and its public use.
Yet, whilst people are seeking to resist against AI, we also see cases of people using AI as a tool to resist other targets. This includes cash-strapped NGOs seeking to compensate for reduced funding but also everyday individuals looking to improve their self-representation when contacting firms, politicians, and their local doctor. For some, utilising AI within so-called ‘civic tech’ opens the door to new and more democratic means for decision-making as well as strengthen communities. Others warn that the political-economic structure behind AI, including who owns the algorithms and data, means it is a fool’s paradise to believe such platforms can bring new energy to the public sphere.
And we should not forget that a key part of the ideological undercurrent within Silicon Valley and its satellites remains a belief that they are developing AI as an alternative to current ways of organising society. From private settlements based on bitcoin to AI-focused religions, the demand for AI serves as a flag held by often extremely wealthy individuals seeking to resist conventional politics based around democracy and public authorities.
Given the many ways one might think about resistance in relationship to AI, the organizers invite for a full-day in-person conference in Malmö, Sweden.
To be considered, please submit an abstract (max 250 words) emailed to the conference main organiser Michael.Strange@mau.se by 1st October 2026 (subject: RESISTANCE-AI). Attendance is free and includes a coffee break and lunch.
Topics
The conference is hosted by the Future Society & Democracy in Europe research group kindly funded by the Centre for Modern European Studies, a joint initiative between the University of Copenhagen, Malmö University, and Lund University. In collaboration with the AI Politics Hub, Malmö University.
Submission Deadline: 1 October 2026
10–11 December 2026 | Paris, France
The Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Evaluation of Public Policies in collaboration with the Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics and Institute for environmental transformations organizes this workshop.
The workshop aims to bring together scholars working across intellectual history, political theory, socio-economic history, political economy, sociology, and related fields in order to foster dialogue between historically grounded perspectives on economic planning and contemporary debates about its revival. Especially contributions, examining how economic planning has been conceptualised and practised across national and international contexts, the politics of planning, and the ways planning histories can (or not) inform present-day political and policy discussions, are invited. Both empirical and theoretical papers from diverse disciplinary angles are welcomed.
Topics of papers may include (but are not limited to) the three following axes:
1. Methodologies and ontologies of economic planning : How should planning be conceptualised and studied? Does the historiography of planning require a clearly defined research object?
2. The politics of economic planning: How does planning move from a utopian ideal to an institutional infrastructure? How do struggles over expertise, priorities, and futures shape planning institutions and practices?
3. Planning histories and contemporary debates: What can contemporary debates on industrial policy, ecological transition, and economic coordination learn from past planning experiences and their failures?
These themes will also be discussed from complementary perspectives by our keynote speakers: Verena Halsmayer (University of Vienna), Emmanuel Mourlon-Druol (European University Institute), and Cornel Ban (Copenhagen Business School).
A more detailed description of the workshop theme and possible topics can be found here.
Applicants should submit an abstract of no more than 500 words outlining their proposal, and a short CV by 12 October 2026 to zoe.evrard@uclouvain.be and thomas.kayzel@sciencespo.fr. They will be informed of the outcome by 20 October and will be requested to submit their papers by 1st of December by the latest.
Please note that should your institution be unable to do so, limited conference funds are available to support accommodation and travel expenses.

20 -21 November 2026 | Iasi, Romania
Description:
In much of modern economics, both mainstream and beyond, the issue of evidence centres on the increasing sophistication of econometric inference. Underpinning this is a confidence that econometric models are sufficiently robust that they provide accurate forecasts of economic trends and can illuminate our understanding of phenomena. The rise of experimental game theory within new behaviouralism augments the allegedly rich evidential base. Our ability to grasp the complexities of the economy is increasing.
Yet, fragilities persist. The failure of the profession to predict (and understand) the great financial crisis is emblematic. Economics is not unique in its evidence-based turn. Social policy and medicine are prominent examples. That said, limitations and criticisms are acknowledged and debated in these literatures. Arguably, such levels of interrogation and reflection are not apparent in economic thinking.
Ever increasing model intricacy and data cleansing seem to be the most common responses to any criticism and are viewed as highly innovative. This workshop aims to furnish researchers in Eastern Europe and Central Europe with the means to question standard presumptions about the nature of evidence in economics. Through a combination of invited experts, Q&A, and group discussions, participants will be encouraged to reflect on different types of evidence, their role in analysis and argumentation, and the doing of economics.
Practical Details:
A workshop organized by University ‘Alexandru Ioan Cuza’ Iasi, Romania, On the Nature of Evidence in Economics and Other Sciences, through EC2U Alliance and funded by Feed Uk and Association of Evolutionary Economics, and destined for doctoral economics students from Eastern and Central Europe. There are two bursaries that cover flight and transportation, accommodation and catering at the event. The event will take place between 20th and 21th of November.
Please send your CV and one A4 page summary of your PhD thesis to Dr. Delia Diaconasu, email: delia_diaconasu@yahoo.com.

America’s Neglected Protectionist Tradition rediscovers the economic ideas that built America by offering the most comprehensive treatment of the American protectionist school of economic thought. By tracing the School’s origins from Alexander Hamilton and Tench Coxe, it highlights the School’s dynamic and invention-driven alternative that rivalled English classical economics.
At a moment when protectionist trade policy has returned to the centre of global economic debate, America's Neglected Protectionist Tradition recovers the deep intellectual roots of that impulse — roots that stretch back to America's founding and that represent a far more sophisticated economic tradition than is commonly understood. This work offers the most comprehensive treatment of the American protectionist school of economic thought — an intellectual tradition originating with the ideas of Alexander Hamilton and Tench Coxe, and developed further by thinkers such as Friedrich List, John Rae, and Henry Charles Carey. By drawing on the writings of nearly seventy economists and statesmen, this account provides the first systematic treatment of the philosophy and theory of the American protectionist tradition.

Over the past years, reflections on this history have been published in an increasing number of professional journals for the history of economics, and monograph series of academic and commercial publishers. In addition, historians, sociologists and philosophers have shown an increasing interest in the history of economics and in economic science more generally. This Elements series in the history of economics targets this wide and still growing academic readership with learned essays on the state of existing scholarship and its limitations.
Cambridge Elements in the History of Economics aims to redress the balance of scholarship by identifying and addressing ‘zones of silence’ that have remained outside of the history of economics’ purview and by highlighting new pathways of research that will be particularly useful for Master and PhD students that cross over different disciplines. The essays integrate open-source accessible hypertext links to podcasts, blogs, and videos.

Elements in this series:
Marcel Boumans: The Mathematisation of Economics
Guilherme Martins and Rodrigues Sampaio: Keynes, Keynesianism, and International Organisations
Aurélien Goutsmedt and others: Economists, Economic Knowledge, and Central Banks

edited by Louis-Philippe Rochon, Sergio Rossi and Guillaume Vallet | 2026, Edward Elgar Publishing
This incisive book reframes the discourse surrounding monetary policy in terms of the common good, to provide broader social benefits. Leading experts illustrate how and why the common good must be understood in the context of creating more, not less, employment.
Authors adopt an innovative understanding of monetary policy interventions, analysing inflation targeting strategies and the roots of income and wealth inequalities. Evaluating the tension between central banks’ independence from political pressure and dependence on the views of financial markets, the book highlights the need for institutions and policies that benefit society as a whole. Ultimately, contributors argue that the purpose of monetary policy is to contribute to the betterment of communities or society, rather than markets or individuals.
Rigorous and insightful, this book is a crucial resource for students and scholars of economics and finance and also politics and public policy. It is prime reading for central bankers and politicians seeking a deeper understanding of the common good and how monetary policy impacts everyone in society.

Our Elgar Concise Introductions are inspiring and considered. They explain the key principles and are expertly written by some of the world’s leading scholars. The aims of the series are two-fold: to pinpoint essential concepts and to offer insights that stimulate critical thinking.
This Concise Introduction develops a relational perspective on the organization and evolution of economies across space, outlining how and where firms and people thrive. It builds on assumptions that economic agency is embedded in institutional contexts, shaped by past decisions and inherently open-ended.
Key Features:
This innovative book is an essential resource for scholars and students of economics and finance, human geography and economic geography. Economic planners and practitioners will also benefit from its comprehensive insights and practical approach.

This book offers a fresh and critical take on the relationship between disability, work, and capitalism in the UK. Challenging the idea that disabled people are ‘non-workers’, it shows how society is dependent upon their everyday paid and unpaid activities. Drawing on research with disabled participants, it expands what counts as work: from care, assistance, and work for the state to resistance and rest.
The book centres disabled people’s own critiques of precarious work and productivism, highlighting how disability is fundamental to debates on class and exploitation. Insightful and collaborative, it rejects the productivist lens through which disability is often approached, and rethinks possibilities for a non-capitalist organisation of society.

by Ulf Johanson and Emmanuel Aboagye | 2026, Edward Elgar Publishing
This visionary book provides a philosophical framework for pluralistic economics, prioritising workplace health and social sustainability over profits. Ulf Johanson and Emmanuel Aboagye demonstrate that narrow economic gazes have consistently shaped how value is calculated, frequently obscuring profound moral consequences.
Johanson and Aboagye propose that economics too often focuses on tools for calculation and accounting, leading to excessive consumption and a negative impact on occupational health and safety. Drawing on examples from diverse work environments, they argue that constant reflection on ethical principles and societal norms must be present when economic decisions are made. Chapters advocate for a new democratic economic model which aims to build a world where the economy serves humanity, enabling people to live with less fear and uncertainty
Pluralistic Economics is a prescient resource for scholars and students of business and management, finance and economics. Governance policymakers and business managers will also benefit from its human-focused insights and practical suggestions for improved workplace dynamics.

How queering economics will better serve society.
Despite its tremendous influence, economics is one of the least diverse and most exclusionary social science disciplines. In this book, Michael E. Martell and Leanne Roncolato reveal how economics has created a dangerous hierarchy that deters dissent and marginalizes underrepresented voices. They argue that diversification can benefit the field. By highlighting the voices of LGBTQ+ economists and utilizing qualitative and quantitative data, the authors accompany their call to action with a step-by-step plan for queering economics.
Drawing on critical race, feminist, and queer perspectives and movements, Queering Economics shows how making economics inclusive has multiple tangible benefits. Not only will the field benefit from attracting the best and most diverse talent, but the discipline will better represent the contrasting ways we experience the economy while promoting prosperity and inclusion for all, especially the most vulnerable.

European colonial rule in Asia, Africa, and the Americas was a world-changing force and left a variety of legacies – demographic, economic, environmental, technological, and cultural. The economic history of colonialism has seen an outburst of research in the last 20-odd years; but, with many significant new works appearing in specialist journals, students and teachers of the field may still find it challenging to explain what this scholarship adds up to, its most significant claims and breakthroughs and how it relates to older versions of the economic history of colonialism.
This handbook gathers a set of specially commissioned essays written by leading contributors to the field which focus on the two principal waves of European colonialism since the 15th century: the first in which Europeans converged mainly on the Americas (c. 1490s–1820s) and the second in which attention was focused on acquiring control over large swathes of Asia and Africa (c. 1850s–1970s). It shows students of economic history the key facts that need to be explained about the imperial powers, the colonial experience, and why the European empires outside Europe are significant for the economic history of the world. The handbook also includes studies of the Japanese and American Empires in Asia, as these were provoked by and in nature quite comparable to the formation of European empires thus providing worthwhile and meaningful comparisons.
This handbook will serve as a vital resource for research, teaching, and reference, offering readers insights into economic history, colonialism, globalisation, and the forces that have shaped the modern world economy.

by Mariana Mazzucato | 2026, Hachette Book Group
Whether it’s the water crisis, widespread poverty, or the next global pandemic, the problems that threaten humanity require collective action. But policymakers are confronting these problems armed with economic models that are missing one crucial element: They do not treat the common good as an objective worth achieving.
In this ambitious and timely book, economist Mariana Mazzucato issues a corrective to prevailing economic thinking by defining a new theory of economics with the common good at its center. She shows how to go beyond fixing markets around the edges and instead reshape them to embody principles of reciprocity rather than extraction, and collectivism rather than individualism. It is not enough, she argues, to talk about “public goods” and the “commons”; we must truly achieve the “common good.”
Drawing on wide-ranging philosophical traditions and global examples where seeds of the common good are found, Mazzucato reveals how common-good economics can help systematically transform how we build community and an economy that serves all.
The Common Good Economy is a stirring call for governments, the private sector, and everyday people to act boldly to achieve the greater good.

2026 Climate Policy Brief
2026 was a critical year for climate science and policy. A new climate policy brief by Jonathan Harris and Grant Moore sums up recent developments and examines the prospects for the next global climate conference, COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, in November 2026. Climate scientists have recently revised projections, with both good news and bad: the worst-case and best-case scenarios have both been discarded, still leaving a projected future with a wide range of climate outcomes. There is also both good and bad news on climate policy, with significant progress especially on renewable energy but continued inadequate policy and financing commitments. See all climate policy briefs.
New Working Paper on “African Green Revolution”
As the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) reaches its 20th anniversary, GDAE Senior Research Fellow Timothy A. Wise finds little to celebrate. In a new Working Paper, Wise shows that heavy promotion of chemical-intensive farming has generated anemic productivity growth, displaced climate-resilient African staples, and contributed to an alarming increase in the number of hungry people. As Wise has argued in an earlier article, agroecological systems provide a better model for Africa and the world.
New Policy Brief on One Health Circular Bioeconomy
A new Policy Brief from the Boston University Economics in Context Initiative (ECI) discusses the case for composting and policies for a dietary protein transition. Eric Christine finds that “To resolve the mounting climate and health externalities of the US food system, policymakers must pair expanded composting infrastructure with economic incentives that simultaneously drive waste reduction and dietary shifts.”
This is the second in a series of Policy Briefs from the ECI project “Toward a Circular Economy: A Mapping Review of State Compost, Soil and Health Policy.”
GDAE Researcher Presents on Wetlands Conservation
GDAE Senior Researcher Gillian Davies was a panelist on an August 12, 2026 webinar organized by the IUCN, titled “Freshwater Wetland Ecosystems: Global Conservation and Assessment.” A distinguished panel of international experts discussed advances and challenges in freshwater wetland conservation, assessment methodologies, emerging technologies, and the critical role of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in wetland stewardship.

Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik e.V. is looking for an individual or a team to design, organise and run a new annual networking meeting for journalists working on economic, financial and social affairs in Germany.
Economic journalists play a central role in translating economic concepts for a wider public and thus shape how economic policy is perceived. Yet there is currently no regular, low-threshold forum in which journalists from different outlets and formats can exchange experiences, share sources and expert networks, and develop reporting approaches beyond the economic mainstream. The planned meeting aims to close this gap. It is conceived as a half-day event with a deliberately participatory character — short impulses, barcamp-style sessions proposed and moderated by participants, and ample room for informal exchange rather than panel presentations. The first edition is intended to serve as a blueprint for subsequent years.
The call covers the full responsibility for the event: programme design, participant management, facilitation and follow-up. A total budget of €5,000 is available (€3,000 fee, €2,000 for venue, catering and technology). Applications should include a short profile of the person or team, a concept sketch of no more than two pages, a proposed venue and time frame, and a cost estimate.
