Issue 185 September 14, 2015 web pdf Heterodox Economics Directory
Now and then, it is quite interesting to look into other disciplines and ask whether the theoretical and empirical contributions advanced in these fields could provide some additional support for heterodox economic perspectives. One such field is possibly Economic Geography, which regularly makes use of heterodox economics as is evidenced by their citation behavior. Another, possibly more surprising field, is management studies, which regularly produces research of great interest to economists of a critical persuasion. In occasional discussions on this issue I always provide three critical examples, which are surely noteworthy: First, I would refer to an early stream of research on the "performativity of economics" within management studies, which focuses on the dysfunctional effects emerging from restructuring organizations in accordance with rational choice- and transaction cost-theory (here is an exemplary review paper on this issue). Second,I always like to point out that accounting scholars often have a quite appropriate view of macroeconomic relationships, especially as it regards the role of "capital" and the financial sector, and, hence, view macroeconomics as "accounting for society" (see e.g. here or here).
Finally, there has been some creative work on the question of paradigmatic development in management studies. This funny paper on paradigmatic development, for instance, rests on a simulation model based on a rough interpretation of Kuhn's famous Structure of Scientific Revolution. This paper's main finding, by the way, is that the intrinsic quality of a paradigm's core ideas is relatively negligible for explaining its success (does this ring a bell with you?), but rather the most decisive variable related to the question whether a dominant paradigm will sustain its position is the number of competitors: the more of them, the easier it is for a dominant paradigm to sustain it's position (since this is a battle of group-think, heterogeneity is a stark disadvantage;-).
Having told you that, I just wanted to close by saying that this is a really interesting issue of the Newsletter, which features a series of most promising conference invitations, job postings and brand-new issues of heterodox economic journals. So you should inspect this one closely!
All the Best,
Jakob

Social & political ramifications of housing
The need to be housed is basic and yet, the forces that produce it in any city of the world multiple, contradictory and often conflictive.
Whilst inherently complicated in any context, housing delivery is even more difficult in sites of inherent social, cultural, political and economic sensitivity such as the one that hosts this event, Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus.
Taking as its starting point the social, political, cultural and economic complexity of its host city – the world’s last remaining divided capital - this conference seeks to understand the range of conflicting interests and factors that shape the housing of our towns and cities in both normal and extreme scenarios.
It is interested in cases from around the world, from politically charged environments of military conflict zones to the socially conflictive contexts of developer led gentrification. It welcomes resident perspectives and planner led solutions, sociological analysis and ideas for inclusionary design.
It seeks to better understand how we safeguard the right to choose appropriate housing for all our citizens; how we ensure residents have a voice in design and development; how we guarantee adequate housing is always an option; and how we overcome conflicts and conflicting interests to do this.
The conference welcomes case studies; design proposals, research projects, investigative papers and theoretical considerations presented in various formats:
Publications:
Delegates are given the option to present their work at conference either with or without an accompanying full written paper.
3,000 word papers will be published online and later in an e-book.
Subject to review, selected authors will be invited to develop longer versions of their papers for Special Issues of the Architecture_MPS journal and additional printed books of essays.
Participants in the conference are also invited to engage in a design project book series that will include student proposals and the documentation of built works.
All abstracts and papers are fully double blind peer reviewed.

"Economics and Power: An Historical Perspective"
Power may be defined as the capacity to induce others to carry out actions desired by those who hold it, actions the others would not carry out spontaneously of their own free will. It has been studied from the earliest times, yet has not received a univocal evaluation in economic theory. It can be met with, for example, in theories of monopoly, of oligopoly and trade, right from their origins, defined as market or strategic power: in these cases the counterpart is free to choose whether to carry out the economic action, and sees the field of his possible choices limited, or modified in favour of those who hold power. Power relationships certainly enter into an analysis of labour markets, at least from the time of Adam Smith and, later on, in all the theoretical contexts in which it is assumed that wage bargaining is carried out in conditions where firms can determine wages and, as a consequence, the distribution of income. The power of intervention in the economy, too, has always been a question intensely debated by economists throughout history (from mercantilism to the present day), leading to the definition – via the economic policies put forward from time to time – of various typologies of relations between the economy and the state. More recently, economists have dealt with the subject of power in the theory of incomplete contracts, as well as in economic analyses of political organisations.

Special Section of Revista de Economia Mundial (REM)/Journal of World Economy
Topic: “Financialisation and crisis in the European Union”
Guest Editors
Structure of the Special Section and contact
Revista de Economia Mundial (REM)/Journal of World Economy is an academic Spanish journal edited by the Sociedad de Economia Mundial/World Economy Society indexed, among others, in the SSCI (2014 IF: 0.237; 300/333 –Economics–).
This Special Section will include up to 5-6 papers on the nexus between financialisation and the EU crisis.
Authors are strongly encouraged to read carefully the background and rationale included on this Call for Papers before considering submitting. For further information for this Special Section, please contact the Guest Editors: Jan Toporowski (jt29@soas.ac.uk), Laura Horn (lhorn@ruc.dk), or Jorge Garcia-Arias (jrgara@unileon.es). For queries about REM or the submission process (see below) please contact Teresa Aceytuno, Managing Editor of REM, (maria.aceytuno@dege.uhu.es)
Background and rationale of the Special Section
The process(es) of financialisation have been identified as a crucial transformation in recent decades in the global capitalist system, a shift from a Fordist model to one in which the accumulation of profits through financial channels predominates over that obtained by the production of goods and services. The impacts of financialisation have been identified in virtually all areas of economic, political and social life, both in microeconomic activity (levels of households debt, privatization of the Welfare State and other public goods and services, changes in identity, daily life and patterns of individual political, social and cultural activities, ...), as well as from a more macro perspective (changes in financial markets, transnational corporations and international financial institutions, in the design of economic policy, in crucial aspects of international development, and so on).
The current economic crisis –the most severe faced by the developed economies in decades– has specific features for the whole of the EU, and particularly within the Eurozone. What started as a crisis of a financial nature has resulted in a deep economic, political and social crisis, not only due to the usual evolution of any financial cycle, but also because of the political and institutional design of the EU and the Eurozone, and the unusually strong link that has been forged between rebalancing public finances and the fetishism of austerity and low inflation.
Thus financialisation seems not only to be a context for the origin, evolution and possible outcomes of the EU crisis. There are also grounds for suspecting that financialisation has adopted specific forms in the EU, making the EU crisis a test bed for exploring its foreseeable future dynamics. In this Special Section of the REM we will analyse some of the links between financialisation and the crisis in the European Union.
More specifically, the Guest Editors welcome papers engaging with the following topics, as well as other topics providing particular insights into EU financialisation and its global significance:
Although financialisation has developed in variegated ways in individual EU countries, and affected them in different ways, our objective is to overcome what has been called academic “methodological nationalism” (that is, considering countries as self-contained units of analysis); hence we are not in principle interested in receiving analyses of the process focusing on a single country, but rather studies focusing on broader areas such as the whole EU or Eurozone (highlighting, of course, its intrinsic elements of heterogeneity), or groups of countries considered as a whole (e.g. the European periphery, the Scandinavian economies, Central European countries, etc.), or on a comparative basis (i.e. the UK vs. Germany; Spain, Italy and Portugal, ...). We also seek papers in a broad spectrum of (International or European) Political Economy that do not overly limit their analysis to particular aspects of the relationship between financialisation and the EU crisis, or that focus on very specific areas (water, energy, housing, …), except when the authors are able to show a more general significance of their analysis.
We are interested in receiving original, not under evaluation elsewhere, and well-argued articles founded on a critical appreciation that may be multidisciplinary in their approaches to the phenomenon of financialisation and its impact on the EU crisis, as well as in the backgrounds of their authors. Articles from political economists but also sociologists and political scientists linked to critical areas of European Political Economy or Critical International Political Economy, are especially welcome.
Submissions
Papers must bewritten in English. The received full papers would be subject to previous editorial scrutiny and pre-selection, and to strict peer-review process before acceptance. Articles should be no more than 7,000 words in length, including all references, notes and tables. Articles must be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 200 words and up to five keywords. Submissions should be directed through the Revista de Economia Mundial (REM)/Journalof World Economy on-line submission system: http://www.sem-wes.org/en/node/84
Further guidelines for submissions are available here.
If you have technical queries about the process, please contact Teresa Aceytuno, Managing Editor of REM, at maria.aceytuno@dege.uhu.es

14–16 April, 2016 | Strasbourg, France
The 16th international conference of the Charles Gide Association for the Study of Economic Thought will take place at the University of Strasbourg. This conference is organised by the laboratory Bureau d’Economie Théorique et Appliquée (BETA).
This international conference will propose sessions on the theme “expectations, conjectures and coordination”, although any other proposal in the fields of the history of economic thought and philosophy of economics is also welcome.
Conference Theme: Expectations, conjectures and coordination
Contemporary economic analysis was born with the study of strategic interactions between individuals. At the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, Boisguilbert placed the issue of the available information and of expectations at the core of his explanation of economic fluctuations. For Boisguilbert, expectations of future prices formed by agents on agricultural markets can prove either stabilising or destabilising, depending on whether the economy is in a situation of free trade or prohibition.
Later, Smith warned us about market exchange: “it is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest”. Here, the issue is about an interpersonal relationship: a consumer who would count on the acquisition of a good thanks to the benevolence of a producer is most likely to see his conjecture invalidated. Satisfying one’s needs through market exchange thus requires accurate forecasting of the behaviour of other agents, which is to forecast their own conjectures.
Nearly a century later, but from a quite similar perspective, Cournot’s law of demand raised the issue of price expectations in the functioning of markets. He established an empirical relation between the price of a good and its demand function: “a commodity is usually more demanded when it is less expensive”. Cournot even went further: not only does each seller anticipate the reactions on the side of the buyers, but he also needs to conjecture about actions on the side of the other sellers. With Cournot, information and expectations henceforth became at the centre of individual decisions. What ensues from this is a conception of market equilibrium as the result of interactions between strategic behaviours established by each other.
With Keynes’s parable of the beauty contest, the coordination mechanism not only applies to the results of other agents’ behaviour, but calls into question the very foundation of these results: how does an individual anticipate that the other individuals will form their own expectations?
Last, with the rational expectations approach launched by Lucas, the issue of strategic interactions has been extended to the coordination between public authorities and private agents
With this theme, we propose to raise the issue of conjectures and expectations along complementary lines of research. A first line of inquiry, for example, would question the way economists suppose economic agents shape their forecasts. On which basis of knowledge? And which kind of behaviour on the part of the other individuals do they conjecture? A second line of research could investigate how the question of market equilibrium has been addressed in different times and places. How have these expectations led to a specific market result? And how do individuals coordinate themselves in favour of any particular equilibrium? A third line of inquiry, which directly ensues from the previous ones, would address the issue of state intervention. How is the state able to influence the market equilibrium resulting from the interactions between individual decisions in transforming the way these forecasts are elaborated and coordinated?
Submissions of papers or proposals for sessions
Proposals for papers will take the form of an abstract of about 500 words, submitted through the website: charlesgide2016.sciencesconf.org
Proposal for sessions are also welcome, whether they are directly connected with the theme of the conference or not. Contributions will either take place in French or in English; parallel sessions will be organised accordingly.

More than five years after the global financial crisis, the European Union finds itself in the conundrum of a 'post-crisis' state that is defined by ongoing crisis dynamics. This is evident, among other things, in the changing perception of sovereign risk, the clash between the power of finance and democratic legitimacy, growing social tensions due to economic inequality as well as the sluggish pace of progress toward economic recovery. While some of these processes are unfolding centre stage (possible exits from the EU are prominent examples) others tend to remain hidden from view within the framework of recent fiscal and institutional reformation of the EU. By virtue of measures undertaken in response to the crisis, including the new banking supervisory role assigned to the European Central Bank, enhanced capital requirements, and the supranational coordination of public finances, a new kind of public sphere is being created outside the purview of normal public debate. Rather than restoring pre-crisis normality, these measures are themselves bringing about a new normality with profound social, political and economic implications. The objective of this workshop is to shed light on the reality that is becoming the new normal both in the European Union and beyond by examining the politics of three central aspects: money, debt and time.
The politics of money concerns the new role of the common currency in the eurozone and the euro as an impaired symbol for the imaginary of a unified Europe. Current policy directions in this respect imply a new social, political and cultural context in an era of ‘unconventional’ monetary policy, excess liquidity and lopsided distribution. The nature of debt, and, in particular, the nature of sovereign debt, is undergoing a profound shift. Debt is no longer regarded as ‘safe’ and has come to require increasing levels of collateral and far reaching guarantees. This new condition of debt creates and enforces disciplinary mechanisms in order to align policies and scenarios across societal and political borders. Both money and debt crucially involve the notion of time. The moment when debt turns into the obligation to pay is politically highly contested and implies a particular formatting of possible futures in the present. The notion of time arranges the difference between a good loan as (future) profit and debt as a sovereign burden via the settling of political hierarchies.
The workshop will explore the interrelation of money, debt and time in the new normal by considering the following questions: How do these aspects specifically produce or foreclose future opportunities? How do they transcend disciplinary perspectives? And how do they intervene in the discourses of everyday life? Accordingly, contributions will address one or more of the following topics:
Deadline for Submission is the 2nd of October 2015.

11-14 July, 2016 | Vienna, Austria
The International Sociological Association Forum will take place in Vienna, July 11-14, 2016. If you have not been to ISA, it is a remarkable conference experience. It is truly global, though inflected with the particular location (so the Vienna Forum will have a particularly strong European presence). Unlike, say, the American Sociological Association, each Section of the ISA has a set of sessions for the full duration of the conference, so you can stick with one topic area for the entire time (or shop around).The stream organized by the Labor Movements Section (Research Council 44, or RC44 for short) at the last two ISAs, and have found it a remarkable learning experience. Not at all limited to sociologists (I am an economist, for one). As in past RC44s, RC44 will also be organizing some sessions with local labor activists, to take place July 10 before the rest of the meetings start.
RC44 has issued a Call for Papers for its sessions: Proposals due to September 30!
Best, Chris Tilly
Session proposals have already been selected, and paper proposals must be pegged to a particular session. Let me commend to your attention two sessions on informal and precarious work and worker organizing, below:
Using Global Comparisons to Understand 21 Century Labor Movements among Informal Workers (Rina Agarwala & Chris Tilly, organizers)
In the 20th century, massive labor movements transformed work to regulate and protect it.. But in the century’s closing decades, firm subcontracting, government deregulation, and large-scale migration flows contributed to a shift of large areas of work outside labor laws. Traditional labor unions have had difficulty organizing such workers, and have lost density and power. Now new labor movements of informal workers have increasingly taken up the slack, building associational and symbolic power.
Cross-national comparisons have greatly advanced our understanding of formally protected workers’ labor movements . Recent research on informal worker organizing, however, has largely been limited to country-level case studies. This session aims to push research on contemporary informal workers’ movements forward by examining cross-cutting themes across multiple countries and sectors.The panel seeks to address the following questions:
Gender, Precarious Work, and Labor Organizing (Rina Agarwala and Ruth Milkman, organizers)
Gender is a defining feature of precarious and informal work in the 21 century. Women have long been disproportionately concentrated in temporary, casual, seasonal, part-time, and contract work. Recently, men’s jobs also have begun to resemble those once relegated to women, as traditional forms of employment security as well as labor rights and legal protections have been eroded. A growing literature examines the gendered dimension of these expanding types of work, but the gender dynamics of collective efforts to challenge precarity and informality have received far less attention.
This session will focus on the relationship of gender to collective action repertoires among precarious/informal workers, and on the ways in which the organizations they have are gendered.In contrast to traditional labor unions, such organizations are disproportionately led by women, address concerns traditionally associated with women workers, and adopt strategies that appeal to women.This is often the case even when the workers involved are predominantly male. The session will explore these new forms of organizing in the United States, South Africa, India, and South Korea. We will center the session on two key questions:

10-11 December 2015 | Aarhus University, Denmark
In contemporary societies people generally acquire property within a property regime based on trade, contracts, inheritances, and welfare state redistributions. But these regimes do not always run smoothly. Behind them lie histories of appropriation and expropriation, and from within they are constantly challenged by those who point to the social injustices that they can produce. We call these attempts to interrupt the dominant system of contracts and exchanges ‘contested property claims’. They are points of friction where economic, political, and ethical issues around property are brought to light, and they illustrate how disagreements over property force social actors to reason about the institution of property as such.
To address these issues the research project Contested Property Claims – Moral Reasoning about Property and Justice in Practice, Debate, and Theory invites scholars from all fields to submit paper proposals on the ways property is performed and contested (see description of streams below).
Confirmed keynote speakers:
Submission, information and registration:
To propose a paper, please send an abstract of (max.) 300 words to contestedpropertyclaims@cas.au.dk. This address can also be used for any inquiries about the conference. The closing date for receiving abstracts is 15 September 2015. We will get back to you with a decision on your abstract as soon as possible after we have received it. We do not require participants to submit written papers in advance.
Streams:
Property, justice and time
Time and temporality are important dimensions of property claims and regimes. Whether based in possession, labour, custom, inheritance, use, or promises of efficiency, the source of legitimacy of property is linked to time. Furthermore, property sets up boundaries of inclusion and exclusion creating differential rights to property; alternative or revolutionary property forms usually offer promises or hopes for a better and more just distribution. How are boundaries of inclusion and exclusion justified and maintained over time and how do they develop or change, both in the lifecycle of individuals, households, states and other social entities? Property markets and financial capitalism operate with technologies and conceptual divisions of time such as rent, 'futures', 'the long and the short run', etc., imbued with particularly temporal orientations. How are such temporal orientations conceptualized among social actors and are they being redirected after the global economic crisis. This panel explores the temporal dimensions of capitalist and alternative property forms and discusses which notions of time are inherent in different claims to property, property regimes and dispositions.
Suggested themes: property regimes; alternative property forms; domestic economies; communism; commons; utopianism; revolution; hope; property markets and finance; debt; credit investment; property as investment
Political economy of property
Any property regime distributes ownership and use rights. The concept of the political economy of property highlights property as fundamental to the capitalist economy as well as the distributive aspects of property regimes summarized in the concepts of possession and dispossession. Many property regimes operate on a zero-sum basis: my property excludes your access, an exclusion guaranteed and policed by the property regime. There is a contingent dimension to this: certain processes, rules, signs and performances made this property mine and excluded others and because those property practices differ in time and place. This makes any property regime part of the political economy.
Suggested themes: property as a negative or positive concept; property as quantity vs. quality; possession and dispossession; property regimes as distributive systems; conflicts over property as distributive conflicts and over the idea of property as such; the relation between economic systems and property systems
Property and subjectivity
A relation exists between having and being. Rights, liberties and opportunities are often tightly connected to various property regimes as are notions of self, status and identity. This panel explores the ways in which property and personhood interacts, how different forms of ownership make for different subject positions and how our engagement with objects and places owned by us or others inform our sense of self. Property is also performed through self-descriptions as owners, caretakers, protectors, consumers etc.
Suggested themes: property and personhood; ownership of body; neoliberalism as updated ‘possessive individualism’; corporations as persons; property regimes and identity; consumption as identity process; inequality and identity
Property as institution and idea: law, morality, and justice
Property can be studied as a complex set of legal rules, as a collection of cultural practices, and as a normative idea laden with historical meaning. In this panel we will examine the complementarities and the tensions between these approaches, looking at the fits and misfits between the social institution as it is performed and the normative idea as it is articulated by theorists and practitioners. Are there good normative reasons for reforming the laws of property in various legal systems? Are there good epistemological reasons for reforming traditional ideas of property that do not seem to reflect either current law or practice? What can we learn from comparative studies of property law, practice, and ideas, across cultures?
Suggested themes: the changing laws and practices of property; comparative studies of property practices and ideas; ‘progressive’ accounts of property in law; the epistemology of property; formal and informal rules and sanctions regulating property; the rights and wrongs of property regimes; the rights and duties of those with and without property.
Spatialities of property
All practices take places in space, a space that is inevitably structured by a property regime. Yet little work has been done on the various spatialities of property, neither by geographers, property theorists nor others. Nonetheless, the most important forms of property relate to geographical categories, such as territory, space, and place in that these categories are often the object of property, that which is being owned. Recently, the humanities and social sciences have been affected by the so-called spatial turn. What might a spatial turn of theorizing and analyzing property mean? Furthermore, progressive thinking about property as a non-stable product of ongoing contestation mirrors humanist conceptualizations of these geographical categories. In what ways does this make fertilization across disciplines possible? Inviting both mainly theoretical or analytical papers, the panel explores these and related questions.
Suggested themes: the spatial significance of property; ownership in relation to space and place; territorial distribution of property; enclosure vs. the common

The Transnational Institute (TNI) in the Netherlands is issuing an open call for essays/short papers for its forthcoming State of Power report launched in late January 2016 to coincide with the World Economic Forum in Davos. In 2016, we are particularly looking for accessible, engaging essays that interrogate how power relates to democracy.
TNI’s annual State of Power reports have, since their launch in 2012, become a must-see reference point for citizens, activists and academics concerned with understanding the nature of power in our globalised world. With a mixture of insightful essays and compelling infographics, State of Power has examined the changing nature of power (economic, political, cultural, social), exposed the key players who control power, and highlighted counter-power movementsseeking to transform our world.
For the second year running TNI is opening up the call to the public, particularly academics engaged in and supportive of social movements and activists keen to step back and reflect on their struggles, in order to pull in the best analysis on power.
Power and Democracy
For a long time, the powerful in our world were happy to preach the messages of ‘democracy’ as it seemed to coincide with their interests particularly in a Cold War context. Advocating democracy and deregulation of markets were seen as synonymous, even though elites were careful never to embrace the application of democracy to issues of economic control.
In more recent years, though, democracy seems to be ever more an irritant for elites and something they are happy to ignore– in Europe at least reflected most powerfully this year in the complete dismissal of the Greek elections and referendum by the Eurozone group. As the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, put it bluntly, “There can be no democratic choice against the European treaties”. Even if Greece had gone its own way and left the Euro straitjacket, it is doubtful the international financial markets would have given the Greek any more democratic room to manoeuvre.
Meanwhile at a global level, one can see similar trends in governance as bodies like the World Economic Forum push for self-selected multi-stakeholder forums to decide on critical issues, arguing that democracy and states no longer deliver effective solutions and embracing corporations as the new global citizens of our age. Throughout the world, movements struggle continuously against government elites that constrict democratic choices and repress autonomous civil society movements. This is true too of progressive governments that rose to power on the back of social movement struggles and yet now face growing criticism for limiting democratic debate and undermining critical social movements.
These experiences prompt a number of important questions that we would like to interrogate:
TNI is also open to other reflections on the issue of power and democracy that may be of use to social movements involved in fighting for social and environmental justice. Although many of these questions are theoretical in nature, the most useful analysis will use concrete examples and case studies to illustrate their points.
TNI is particularly interested in essays that relate to areas we most closely work on such as corporate impunity, trade and investment policies, land and agrarian issues, resource grabbing, public services, security and civil liberties, social movements and counter-power (see here) However we are ultimately interested in the best analysis (whatever the topic) if it approaches power from the critical perspective held by movements engaged in the struggle for social and environmental justice and political transformation.
To encourage submissions from activists on low-incomes and people from the Global South , we are also offering a few grants of 600 euros for selected essays from individuals that fit this category. Please indicate in your submissions whether you would like to apply for this grant, providing some evidence that you do not have a sufficiently salaried position that would support you writing the essay. The full amount will only be distributed if your essay is shortlisted for the main report, although a smaller discretionary amount will be made to those who applied for the grant whose essays make the long list. Abstracts will receive no remuneration. Final decisions on grants remain with the Editorial Panel.
For an idea of the kind of essays we are interested in, please read the essays featured in State of Power 2014 and State of Power 2015
Style
TNI is not an academic institution, and seeks to provide analysis that can be read and used by a broad range of activists and social movements. We are therefore looking for new and insighful analysis that is not over-theoretical and written in a style that is accessible. We are interested in new and insightful analysis and the evidence and arguments must be rigorous. We encourage the use of stories, concrete examples, metaphors or journalistic techniques. We discourage the overuse of academic jargon and reviews of academic literature that mean little to the public. In our experience the more accessible the material, the more widely it is used and shared.
Process
The final report will be made up of a mixture of essays from this open call and a few pre-commissioned essays. We have designed a process to feature what we consider the best essays in the main report. The decision on which papers are featured will be decided by an Editorial Panel made up of the editor of the report, the Director and the Communications Manager of TNI.
The selection process will be as follows:
Instructions for submission
Abstracts must be emailed to stateofpower@tni.org by 9 October 2015. Those asked to provide essays will be notified on the 15 October. Final essays will be due on 20 November 2015.

Timeline
10-11 March, 2016 | State University of Santa Cruz (UESC), Ilhéus, Brazil
The recent economic crisis has renewed the interest in issues of income distribution and economic growth in different academic circles. However, these issues have always been the focus of several economists following the pioneering contributions of Michal Kalecki and John Maynard Keynes. Meanwhile, an extensive empirical literature has documented an increase in income inequality in several developed and developing countries around the world.
In this context, EconomiA, a peer-reviewed general-interest economics journal published by Elsevier for the brazilian National Association of Graduate Centers in Economics (ANPEC), invites manuscript submissions for the Special Issue “Economic Growth and Income Distribution”, which is expected to be published in 2016. The deadline for manuscript submission is October 15, 2015. This Special Issue is predicated on the intuition that the literature on the subject will benefit from an exploration in new directions.
Selected manuscripts will be presented in the Workhop “Economic Growth and Income Distribution”, to be held at State University of Santa Cruz (UESC), Ilhéus, Brazil, on March 10-11, 2016. Authors of selected manuscripts will have expenses related to the their attendance of and presentation at the workshop (domestic transportation, boarding and lodging) covered by the organization.
This workshop will also feature presentations by distinguished international scholars in the field of economic growth and income distribution, namely, Amitava Krishna Dutt (University of Notre Dame, USA), Arslan Razmi (University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA), Mark Setterfield (New School for Social Research, USA) and Robert Blecker (American University, USA). Each manuscript selected by presentation at the workshop will have as discussant either one of these international speakers or one member of the scientific committee.

2-3 October, 2015 | Denison University, Granville, Ohio
At the Binzagr Institute, our name crystalizes our mission: sustainable prosperity. But “sustainability” has become an overused and under-theorized term, which has had the unintentional impact of constraining policy at every stage of the process, from goal envisioning to implementation.
Our holistic view of sustainable economic provisioning means, first and foremost, employment generation as well as environmental conservation and rehabilitation. Both job creation and ecological sustainability imply technological transformations, but one must be cautious; technology possesses both creative and destructive potentials. Technological unemployment, genetic modification, and nuclear arms are just a few of the direct, harmful effects of technological and organizational innovations. Yet technology, after all, is knowledge, and so it also contains the seeds of liberatory possibilities.
Our inaugural conference gathers together scholars and policy makers from diverse backgrounds, fields, and disciplines to engage one another in examining the crux of the employment and environmental debate, and the many technological linkages therein.
Conference themes include:
Topics dealing with these and other aspects of employment, sustainability and functional finance will be discussed.

By Jotham Parsons | 2014, Cornell University Press
Coinage and currency—abstract and socially created units of value and power—were basic to early modern society. By controlling money, the people sought to understand and control their complex, expanding, and interdependent world. In Making Money in Sixteenth-Century France, Jotham Parsons investigates the creation and circulation of currency in France. The royal Cour des Monnaies centralized monetary administration, expanding its role in the emerging modern state during the sixteenth century and assuming new powers as an often controversial repository of theoretical and administrative expertise.
The Cour des Monnaies, Parsons shows, played an important role in developing the contemporary understanding of money, as a source of both danger and opportunity at the center of economic and political life. More practically, the Monnaies led generally successful responses to the endemic inflation of the era and the monetary chaos of a period of civil war. Its work investigating and prosecuting counterfeiters shone light into a picaresque world of those who used the abstract and artificial nature of money for their own ends. Parsons's broad, multidimensional portrait of money in early modern France also encompasses the literature of the age, in which money's arbitrary and dangerous power was a major theme.

By Paul Davidson | 2015, Edward Elgar
How did economic “experts” worldwide fail to predict the financial crisis of 2007-2008? Eminent economist Paul Davidson discusses how mainstream economic theory may not be applicable to the world of experience. Post Keynesian theory is designed to be applicable to the real world, and this book demonstrates how applying it to policy formulation could help practically resolve economic problems. Davidson goes on to demonstrate how many Post Keynesian economists warned of the impending financial crisis as early as 2002.
Post Keynesian Theory and Policy challenges the axioms on which orthodox economic theory is based and argues against their applicability to a money using, market oriented economy. It explores the basis for Keynes’s revolutionary general theory and seeks to dispel misconceptions often found in orthodox textbooks. This accessible and expertly constructed book explains why modern economies use money denominated contracts to organize all market transactions for production and exchange and why the law of comparative advantage argument for free trade is not applicable to mass production industries’ exports and imports.
This book is a valuable resource for professional economists as well as students and academics in economics, political science, and history, who will appreciate its new perspective and analysis of global financial events.

By Mauro Gallegati | 2015, WEA Books
This book imagines an economy that could be possible if we managed to emancipate ourselves from the hegemony of living to consume – and thus working to consume – instead of living well. It imagines a change of paradigm, which would result from us understanding that we are in a finite world, in a Malthusian environment mitigated by process innovations, where humanity interacts with the environment. Only by imagining that human needs are infinite, and non-renewable resources are also unlimited, can we conceive the possibility of endless growth of production. In a finite world like ours, the second law of thermodynamics still stands and, therefore, even if technology could develop indefinitely, sooner or later it would clash with the limits of non-reproducible resources. What this book tries to outline is that, even though there is no upper limit, or number of product units, or GDP, to enforce the sustainability of growth, we take possession of the future which, as a generation, is not ours. But there’s more. While acknowledging that energy and resource-saving technological progress is able to shift the possible GDP (defined as that level of product which does not compromise reproducibility), we must question ourselves on the role of economy as being functional to man and not vice versa, where we work to live (well) and not vice versa.

By Ali Kabiri | 2014, Palgrave MacMillan
There were many changes in the USA in the post WW1 Period and the 1920s. A housing boom, new theories on finance and stock pricing models, high inflation rates, increases in the money supply, and a technology boom all took place to create a very exciting and dangerous period for investors. It was the most infamous 'boom and bust' episode in modern history and one which is again the subject of heated debate as the field of economics clashes over the presence of asset bubbles and their implications for economic policy. With new data and over 100 years of stock market returns, the actual models used by investors, together with new findings from modern research, Ali Kabiri offers the reader the chance to investigate what drove stocks so high and then caused them to crash. He thoroughly re-examines all the unanswered questions on 1929 and, using new data sets, he allows the reader to understand the changes which led to the 1920s stock market boom and the 1929 crash and answers the key question of whether 1929 was a bubble or not, and which part of the bubble, if present, could have been anticipated. The Great Crash of 1929 is an ideal resource for those interested in financial history, historical finance, behavioural economics, financial markets and the history of economic thought.

By Shimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan | 2015, WEA Books
The Scientist and the Church is a wide-ranging biography of research, showcasing Bichler and Nitzan’s attempts to break through the stifling dogmas of the academic church and chart a new scientific cosmology of capitalism. Central to the authors’ work is the notion that capital is not a productive economic category but capitalized power, and that capitalism should be conceived and researched not as a mode of production and consumption but as a mode of power.
The articles collected in this volume outline the general contours of their approach, flesh out some of their recent research and offer personal insights into the broader politics of their journey. The first chapters reexamine the common foundations of the neoclassical and Marxist doctrines, sketch the contours of the authors’ alternative cosmology of capitalized power, identify the asymptotes – or limits – of this power and explore the all-encompassing logic of modern finance. Subsequent chapters research the connection between redistribution and cyclical crises, reassess the Marxist nexus between imperialism and financialism, rethink the oft-misunderstood role of crime and punishment in the capitalist mode of power and articulate a new theory and history of Middle-East energy conflicts. The closing chapters include two big-picture interviews, as well as riveting reflections on the authors’ own scientific clashes with the church.
