For a long time, I have been asked by various
publishers and authors if I would include book
reviews as a regular feature in the Newsletter. I
have succumbed to the pressure. Fadhel Kaboub has
agreed to become the Book Review editor for the
Newsletter. The general orientation regarding book
reviews is as follows:
The Newsletter will
publish reviews of recently published books that are
relevant to the development of heterodox economics
and to the open and pluralistic intellectual debates
in economics. The reviews will contribute to
building the community of heterodox economists, and
to the development of heterodox economic theory
through the dissemination of ideas/arguments. No
books/arguments will be excluded as long as they
contribute to heterodox economics in whatever
manner.
Fadhel and I are also working on another project
that involves thematic reviews of books, articles,
theses, etc. in areas such as money and finance,
regulation of goods and services, and diversity of
economic approaches. More information will be
forthcoming in the next few weeks. In addition, over
the past couple of weeks, I have received e-mails
asking about some unpublished work I have done on
the methodology of ranking heterodox journals and
departments. While many find the ranking game
distasteful, it is nevertheless real for heterodox
economists in Australia for example. Finally, I
received a nice little poem “Huzza to the
Heterodox!” by Richard and Alison Jolly. It is in
the FYI section and you may find it an enjoyable
read.

10th Anniversary Conference of the Association for
Heterodox Economics
4-6 July, 2008
Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge
The Tenth Anniversary Conference of the Association of Heterodox
Economics (AHE) will be held at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge from
Friday 4th to Sunday 6th July 2008.
In ten years the AHE has established a reputation as a major national
and international forum for the discussion of alternatives to mainstream
economics, and for the interdisciplinary and pluralistic nature of its
discussions. In this anniversary year we particularly encourage
submissions on
(1) the state of economic heterodoxy and pluralism, and the relation
between them
(2) experiences and difficulties in teaching heterodox and pluralist
economics
(3) environmental and ecological economics
The conference invites submissions of single papers or sessions which
conform to these aims, or address other issues in the social sciences
from standpoints which differ from or critically examine the economic
mainstream. A feature of the AHE is as a pluralist forum for dialogue,
and we encourage proposals for sessions which address a single issue or
theme from a variety of viewpoints or disciplines.
The international character of the conference has been a vital factor in
its growing success. Scholars requiring documentation in support of visa
or funding applications should indicate this in their initial
submission. At present the AHE regrets that it has no funds to provide
financial support, but is actively seeking it and welcomes proposals
from participants regarding organizations for the AHE contact in search
of support for participants from outside the US and European Union.
To facilitate dialogue and timetabling, participants whose initial
submission is successful must provide a full paper by the deadline of
Sunday 20th April. They should also register by Sunday May 18th, and
will be expected to take part in at least two full days of the
conference, in order to be included in the final programme. Participants
should also be prepared to serve as discussants and/or session chairs.
This year poster sessions will also be organized for postgraduate or
postdoctoral students who would like to discuss their work with others
but are not yet in a position to provide a full paper.
The conference language is English.
Guidelines for submission
This year there will be two types of session, normal sessions and poster
sessions. Normal sessions will be 90 minutes long and will usually
consist of two papers with at least one discussant. Arrangements for
poster sessions, which are intended to encourage new work by
postgraduate or postdoctoral students, will depend on the number of
submissions and will be announced nearer the date of conference.
Proposals for single papers: please send an abstract of not more than
500 words by email only to the local organiser, Ioana Negru
(i.negru@anglia.ac.uk), AND the AHE coordinator, Alan Freeman
(afreeman@iwgvt.org). Text, HTML, Word and PDF format attachments are
acceptable. Please indicate in your submission whether your paper is
intended for a normal or poster session.
Proposals for complete sessions: please send a description of the
session of not more than 500 words together with the names and email
addresses of the proposed speakers, and attaching abstracts for their
presentations of not more than 500 words each for each paper. Please
send these by email only to Ioana Negru and Alan Freeman, as above.
Deadlines
Proposals for either single papers or complete sessions should be
received by Sunday 27th January.
The AHE Committee will consider all abstracts and will notify you of
acceptance or rejection of your proposal by Monday 11th February 2008.
Those whose abstracts have been accepted for a normal session must send
their full paper by Sunday 20th April 2008 and must register, for a
minimum of two days of the conference, by Sunday 18th May 2008.

X AISPE conference
Humanism and Religion in the History of Economic Thought
Treviso, 27-29 March 2008
Location
The tenth conference of the Italian Association for the History of
Economic Thought (AISPE) will be held at the University site in Treviso
on 27-29 March 2008.
Theme
Is it possible to develop economic theories maintaining a moral vision
of society? Can the “just” and the “good” be combined with the “true”?
To what extent is the growth of scientifically analysable social
phenomena compatible with notions acquired by faith?
Economists, social scientists and scholars have constantly reflected on
these issues, at least since the XVIII century when economic research
claimed a specific domain of scientific autonomy. Unlike the questions,
however, the answers provided are far from repetitive – rather, they
reflect the changes in methodological and analytical positions which, in
over two centuries of history, have undergone considerable evolution.
The juxtaposition of “Humanism” and “Religion” in the title is not
intended to point to new lines of investigation or suggest decisive
combinations and parallelisms; it is simply an invitation to reflect
more systematically than previously on the coherence and relevance of
these changing responses, and on the possible adjustments required in
order to pinpoint the distinguishing features of our contemporary world.

International Workshop on Adaptation and
Reference Values
02 November 2007
The workshop provides a forum for the dissemination of the latest
research findings on adaptation and reference values by well-being
experts in the UK, USA and Europe.
Examining whether events or changes in life circumstances have a lasting
impact on subjective well-being (SWB) has been a long-standing pursuit
in psychological research. Ensuing from the findings of numerous
empirical studies, personality traits have emerged as a dominant
moderating factor for individuals' long-run SWB. As set-point theorists
maintain, although individuals react to life events and changing
circumstances, personality traits cause them to return back to
predetermined, baseline levels of happiness. This implies a weak link
between long-run well-being and one's circumstances or opportunities,
which seems to contravene economic intuition and doctrine. Nevertheless,
recent evidence based on large-scale panel studies rejects the notion
that adaptation is inevitable and therefore it is possible for long-run
SWB to change.
In the light of such evidence, investigating whether changes in
circumstances have a lasting impact on SWB remains an open question and
a fertile ground for further research, calling for sophisticated
methodologies to assess adaptation patterns across a variety of events
and across various groups of individuals.
Venue: Darwin Room, Hamilton Centre
Date: 02 November 2007
Time: 10am to 5:30pm

Andrew Kliman, author of _Reclaiming Marx's “Capital”_

_Reclaiming Marx's “Capital”_ will be available for purchase for $22
(18% off the list price of $26.95).
Written especially for the non-specialist reader, with minimal math,
_Reclaiming Marx's “Capital”_ seeks to reclaim _Capital_ from the myth
of inconsistency, a myth that serves to justify the censorship of Marx’s
critique of political economy and present-day research based on it.
Kliman shows that the alleged inconsistencies are actually caused by
misinterpretation.

Globalization and the Changing Trade Debate: Suggestions for a New
Agenda
THOMAS I. PALLEY
No. 91, 2007
http://www.levy.org/pubs/ppb_91.pdf
The failure of the Doha Development Round of World Trade Organization
negotiations in July 2006 was the first major collapse of a multilateral
trade round since World War II. Research Associate Thomas I. Palley
suggests the development of an alternative trade agenda in association
with an exposition of the faulty economics of the existing policy
paradigm. Trade policy must be intimately linked with rules for labor
markets, the environment, and financial markets, and with an
understanding that trade impacts the character of competition, the
socioeconomic structure, and policy space.
The U.S. Credit Crunch of 2007: A Minsky Moment
CHARLES J. WHALEN
No. 92, 2007
http://www.levy.org/pubs/ppb_92.pdf
The nature of the 2007 credit crunch can be aptly described as a “Minsky
moment,” a reference to the late financial economist Hyman P. Minsky.
Minsky was the foremost expert on such crunches, and his ideas
challenging the belief in the inherent efficiency of markets and the
laissez-faire stance toward economic policy remain relevant to
understanding the recent situation in the U.S. home loan industry.
Without intervention in the form of collective action, usually by the
central bank, a Minsky moment can engender an economic meltdown.

Despite the current growth speed up and increasing employment within the
EU, one can still say that European integration is in crisis: Economic
performance of the EU and, in particular, the Euro area has been lagging
behind the USA, not to mention other regions of the world. At the same
time economic divergence between the member countries of the EMU is
posing serious problems. With EU-enlargement and the inclusion of the
Middle and Eastern European countries, the degree of nominal and real
differences has considerably increased. It is not at all clear whether
and how the EU will be able to cope with these differences and the
already existing tendencies of divergence among the 'old' member states.
The chapters in this book cover theoretical, empirical and policical
aspects of European integration. Among other topics, this book contains
a critical analysis of optimum currency area theory and it is concerned
with the theoretical foundations and empirical consequences of the
'Maastricht Regime'. Monetary, fiscal and wages policies and their
coordination within a monetary union are analysed. Some country studies
complete the picture.

Human Goods, Economic Evils
A Moral Approach to the Dismal Science by Edward Hadas
Much of modern economic theory is based on a rather unflattering view of
human nature, one that is essentially selfish and materialistic. Not
surprisingly, this incomplete version of human anthropology makes for
some rather incomplete economic theory, argues Edward Hadas in Human
Goods, Economic Evils. Hadas argues that human beings are not simply
utility maximizers, but seek to "maximize" morality in their everyday
economic lives. For Hadas, economic man is moral man, who always strives
for the good according to his nature. While the weakness of human nature
ensures that the good is never fully achieved, economic activity is
nevertheless best understood as part of the great moral enterprise of
humanity.

The New Spirit of Capitalism
by Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello
Already a classic in French, this book was first published in English
last year and sold out in months. It is published now in paperback for
the first time.
Via an unprecedented analysis of the latest management texts that have
formed the thinking of employers in their reorganization of business,
the authors trace the contours of a new spirit of capitalism. The book
connects this new spirit with the children of the libertarian and
romantic currents of the late 1960s (as epitomised by dressed-down, cool
capitalists such as Bill Gates and ‘Ben and Jerry’) arguing that they
practice a more successful and subtle form of exploitation. Boltanski
and Chiapello demonstrate how the new spirit triumphed thanks to a
remarkable recuperation of the left’s critique of the alienation of
everyday life that simultaneously undermined their ‘social critique’.
2nd Edition
Studies in Water Resource Economics and Management
Author(s): Stephen Merrett
Publication Date: 01 Sep 2007 • ISBN: 1843391775
Pages: 220 • Hardback
The book is made up of 21 articles, the great bulk of which were
originally published in the top hydrology journals. All the papers are
concerned to address issues of water resources management, particularly
the economic dimension. Merrett is a long-standing political economy man
and knew Joan Robinson well because of an exchange of letters on her
"Introduction to Economics" which he taught to a large group of
architects and planners (!) in London in the 1970s. The 21 papers in
this second edition of "The Price of Water" are a mixture of
methodological, theoretical and applied studies. Most recently Merrett
has tried to cross-over the water resource issues with those
inconvenient truths that Al Gore speaks of, particularly the causes of
the destruction of river flows (such as in the Rio Grande, the Colorado,
the Thames, the Murray-Darling, the Guadalquivir etc.) by human society.

New
Deal Banking Reforms and Keynesian Welfare State Capitalism
Ellen Russell
August 2007
6 x 9; 196 pp
PB: 978-0-415-95661-1
$95.00
Contents:
Russell provides a groundbreaking critique of the orthodox position on
the nature of New Deal reforms as well as an innovative analysis of the
unraveling of those reforms. Russell argues that the success of the New
Deal banking reforms in the post-war period initially produced a “pax
financus” in which the competitive struggles amongst financial capital
were moderated. However, the success of these reforms also produced
incentives to undermine the New Deal regulatory framework via a
regeneration of competitive struggles among financial capitalists. As
these struggles intensified, financial innovations designed to
circumvent regulatory restrictions changed the conduct of commercial
banking and other financial capitalist activity. As these developments
progressed, there has been a resurgence in the diversified financial
conglomerates (financial holding companies) reminiscent of those that
flourished just prior to the Great Depression. This exceptional work
will appeal to historians, economists, and those interested in this
vital period of American history.

Huzza to the Heterodox!
Huzza to the Heterodox !
By
Richard and Alison Jolly
(Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex)
The orthodox enormities
And dreary uniformities
Fill the academic dormitories
With Zombies and with clones
Huzza for the heterodox
Their flashing eyes, their flying locks
They proudly wear their mis-matched socks
Into the danger zones
So down with old defences-es
And Washington consensus-es
Let’s come now to our sense-es
And disbelieve their spin
Climb on your little bicycles
To beat the neo-classicals
Severely twist their ….ears
Let heterodoxy win!
Let nothing now prevent us
Putting people at the centres
Leaders, not dissenters
May a human world begin!
