Issue 349 October 06, 2025 web pdf Heterodox Economics Directory
Last week I was graciously invited by the University of Zürich to participate in a teaching workshop on Pluralism in Economics together with a series of inspiring researchers, namely Dina Pomeranz, Florian Bally-Rommel and Suresh Naidu. The workshop was focused on confronting different views on what economics is and should be and it was exceptionally exciting to learn from both, other senior academics as well as student perspectives.
I admit that such debate-oriented settings are always somewhat vexing to me: I am not a very competitive person and often feel a lot gets lost in a competitive debate; at the same time I probably accept that I hold a position that is controversial among my mainstream colleagues, so some debate seems to be in order ;-). However, aside from my emotional priors there is another thing that is troublesome about these debates, namely lop-sided expectations: you should be aware of mainstream reasoning and research (otherwise there is some danger to be ridiculed), while your mainstream colleague is not expected to know any heterodox arguments.
As a consequence, you always have to wed in explanatory parts in your statements – trying to illuminate how an alternative perspective or reasoning could look like and hoping that you get your point across – at least in conceptual terms. I hardly want to convince someone in such debates, but it would be great if people could start to consider being open to alternative perspectives in a more patient and cooperative way. Somewhat naturally, the competitive setting does not fit this too well; nonetheless it is much to be preferred to the usual case of no to little interaction.
Interestingly, a key point of contention in terms of how to understand contemporary mainstream economics that arose repeatedly during the workshop was related to the empirical turn in economics, i.e. the greater prominence of and appreciation for empirical studies especially in top journals. In the past I have found repeatedly* that active protagonists of the empirical turn often take what effectively amounts to an inductivist position when emphasizing that theoretical textbook economics is no longer dominant in mainstream journals and represents "the economic mainstream of the 1980s", which is, supposedly, no longer of any relevance.
There is some merit in this view as there are some good things to be said about the empirical turn: it has made economics more empirical in nature, it sometimes produces interesting and useful results (here is a nice example from a heterodox perspective), it has led to an appreciation for a greater diversity of topics and it has induced some (slowly moving) change in the political convictions conveyed by our profession (e.g. in the context of the minimum wage).**
However, and in contrast to many claims, the empirical turn has not rendered theory irrelevant. This is evident in the teaching of economics as eagerly and correctly pointed out by student participants in the workshop. In addition, the claim that „theory has become irrelevant“ does not apply in another realm, namely in economic policy advice. Large parts of economic policy advice – including important stuff, like cost-benefit analyses of infrastructure projects, evaluating tax policies or labor regulations, modeling potential output in the European Union or estimating the welfare impact of future climate damages – critically hinge on the theoretical tools that represent exactly „the economic mainstream of the 1980s“.
Against this backdrop it becomes clear why the new empiricists have difficulties in seeing merits in theoretical pluralism. While they often share some of our skepticism against „the economic mainstream of the 1980s“, they think the problem is solved because they left it behind in their research. Well, kudos for doing so, but it seemingly comes at the price of leaving all theory behind and this is, probably, throwing the baby out with bathwater.
All the best,
Jakob
* My first encounter with this attitude dates about twenty years back. Back then I was a critical Master student being invited for having beers with the most promising PhD-candidate of the Econ department I was studying with. I wanted to talk about the limits of the textbook; he wanted to speak about the merits of econometrics. After some beers, at about 1:30 AM, he suggested a compromise: he is willing to concede that the textbook is deficient, if I would be willing to concede that the future of Econ lies in causal inference ;-)
** At the same time, we can make some critical observations on (overly) optimistic identification assumptions, lack of external validity or a too strong focus on individual behavior (instead of more systemic approaches and framings). But, all in all, the empirical turn seems like a welcome development.

29 January 2026 | NTNU Trondheim
The Norwegian Economic History Association (NØHF) invites submissions for the fourth Winter Games in Economic History, to be held at NTNU Trondheim on 29 January 2026.
We 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. We therefore welcome submissions of two kinds: i) paper drafts and ii) outlines of future research projects. Although discussants will be assigned to each paper or research idea, all participants are expected to read colleagues’ papers and contribute to discussions.
The Winter Games will continue to be a broad arena. We 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 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.

Femina Politica Issue 2/2026
The hegemony of linear clock time is shaped by the rationality of efficiency in capitalist societies. The associated time-is-money logic leads to a variety of time conflicts, such as time stress and time poverty for carers, or collective powerlessness in the face of the long-lasting effects of environmental destruction and extractivism. Who has how much and what kind of time available depends mainly on material and socio-political conditions. The distribution of time is gendered and embedded in intersectional inequalities.
Theories of time from queer, feminist, ecological, decolonial, ableism-critical or intersectional perspectives emphasise different temporalities and their hierarchisation in Eurocentric and androcentric capitalism. Difference is temporalised, for example, when hegemonic and linear temporality marks other temporalities as ‘backward’. Terms such as chrononormativity or crip time illustrate how the hegemonic temporality produces heteronormative and ableism-centred standardisations and normalisations of time. Feminist theories of time, for example, emphasise the specificity of the temporality of care, which is characterised by simultaneity, cyclical temporality, and limited predictability. Time and temporality thus play a central role in maintaining hierarchical and intersectional gender relations.
These diverse approaches to time theory point to the necessity of emancipatory and participatory time policies. Feminist time policies aim, for example, at redistributing and reducing wage labour time, slowing down social and political processes, or recognising different temporalities. They raise core questions about social and political participation and analyse the temporal prerequisites for democratic participation processes, especially for feminised care providers and precarious groups that are structurally excluded. In this respect, emancipatory time politics represent an essential lever for democratic participation and thus an effective strategy against accelerationist right-wing and (neo-)fascist politics.
In political science, as in political theory, right-wing populism research, migration research, and international relations, gendered time-theoretical and time-political perspectives remain a research gap. In feminist political science, time theories and time politics tend to be discussed separately and occupy a marginal position. Feminist political science could benefit from interdisciplinary queer theory, decolonial, ableism-critical, ecological and feminist time theories in order to analyse dominant and marginalised time politics.
This special issue aims to centre the topic of time and politics in feminist political science considerations, especially in the context of growing social and economic inequality and multiple crises. We want to examine the theoretical foundations of time, politics, and gender, as well as the conditions and consequences of time politics from a feminist perspective.
We invite contributions that engage with critical theories and politics of time from different feminist perspectives on time. Possible thematic focuses include feminist perspectives on time theory and time politics concerning social and/or ecological processes of re_production, care relations, participation and democracy, coloniality, ableism, heteronormativity, time and space, or resistant feminist practices.

29, 30, and 31, October 2025 | UNAM Mexico, Mexico City
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of its academic and research activities, the X ISHM is pleased to invite researchers, professors, and students from national and international universities to participate with individual presentations or pre-formed panels on specific topics related to heterodox microeconomics and the following main theme of this seminar:
"Price determination and investment dynamics in the Mexican economy: considerations on capital flows between nations.”
On this occasion, the keynote lecture will be delivered by: Dr. Christof Parnreiter. University of Hamburg, Germany
Principles:
Heterodoxy and plurality in economic theory, and particularly in microeconomics, have been consolidated through theoretical reflection and empirical research, and now stand as a set of alternative theories to dominant neoclassical thought. Among the prominent theoretical approaches are: Keynesian and Post-Keynesian, Kaleckian, Labor Theory of Value, Complexity, Evolutionism, Management, Institutionalism, Regulationism, among others, which now constitute academically recognized alternatives for analyzing and constructing coherent explanations of the complex reality in which our society lives.
The careful and in-depth analysis of the complex processes of the national and world economy from a macro, meso, and micro perspective in digital capitalism is better explained by these alternative approaches than by neoclassical theory. They contribute to theory in ways that greatly enhance the understanding of economic reality, in processes such as price determination, wages, investment, capital flows, and generally in processes of accumulation and competition.
Therefore, the general theme of the X ISHM edition will focus on microeconomic theories that help explain the dynamics of capitalist accumulation in the era of digital technology in which we are now living.
The field of heterodoxy has been the source of the development of knowledge and science in all areas of human understanding. Likewise, plurality has given rise to a body of knowledge that contributes to the field of science, economics, and in this case, microeconomics. Heterodoxy in microeconomics transcends the orthodox vision of capitalism and its functioning.
The seminar seeks to offer coherent and sustainable theoretical alternatives so that students, teachers, and researchers can reflect on the complex reality that surrounds us. In parallel, both heterodoxy and plurality in the content and teaching of microeconomics will help develop the research capacity and knowledge of students and teachers, enabling them to explain the complexity of current phenomena from a critical and proactive point of view.
In summary, the Heterodox Microeconomics Seminar seeks to bring to the debate table a critique of the foundations of neoclassical supply-side microeconomics, while offering various heterodox approaches that have flourished in recent decades in economic thought.
Teaching should be nourished by new developments in the different interpretations of science and, particularly in this case, by plurality and heterodoxy in the field of microeconomics, rather than reproducing the mainstream textbooks. In the economics faculties and schools of universities in Mexico and the world, critical, plural, and heterodox academics are committed to reflecting on our teaching and research practices from a realistic approach that is coherent with economic processes. For this reason, we also open this space to those teachers who wish to share their experiences in teaching microeconomics from a heterodox perspective.
Theme
The X International Seminar on Heterodox Microeconomics, which is held biennially, is aimed at all theoretical and applied areas covering plural and heterodox approaches in microeconomics. Likewise, presentations on experiences in teaching alternative microeconomic theories are accepted.
This year, we particularly wish to promote the analysis of: "The determination of price and investment dynamics in the Mexican economy, and considerations on capital flows between nations”.
In general, the following topics are welcome:
Topics and panels:
Investment, profitability, and accumulation
Wages, salaries, and the labor market in the modern world
Price setting and the mark-up
Consumer behavior
Increasing returns
Capital transfers
Tariffs and international trade in firm performance
Market concentration and dominance strategies
Wages and labor markets
Presentation abstract and panel proposals.
The participant must prepare a summary with the following characteristics:
A brief title (no more than 10 words)
Abstract of no more than 500 words
The name of the presenter or panel organizer, along with their information
Each paper will be reviewed by the academic committee of the Seminar
Seminar Dynamics
Each presentation will have a maximum of 20 minutes and a reply of 10minutes, so that the presenter can benefit from observations by specialists on the topic.
The organizing committee will appoint commentators, who will read and formulate their written observations on the paper, which will be sent to the author for their consideration and discussion during the seminar.
Participation is also possible through posters that will be presented at the event venue.
Registration and Information
Send registration and documents to: smh@economia.unam.mx
The Faculty of Economics will support the event with space and logistics.

CRILS Online Workshop | 9 October 2025 | 14:00-16:00 BST
The poultry sector in Southern Africa is growing as consumers increasingly view poultry as a source of affordable protein. But how does this translate into better opportunities for producers in the poultry value chain? This workshop will explore issues of competition and inclusion in the poultry value chain in Southern Africa in the context of significant concentration at different levels of the value chain, as well as challenges in access to competitively priced inputs.
Grace Nsomba and Teboho Bosiu (Centre for Competition, Regulation and Economic Development, University of Johannesburg) will present their work on the global and regional dimensions of Southern African poultry value chains and contract farming models. Arthur Odima (Competition Authority of Kenya) will discuss his recent work on competition in the animal feeds market. The workshop will be chaired by Mehroosh Tak (Royal Veterinary College).

30 - 31 October 2025 | Auditorium, Grimm-Zentrum, HU Berlin Geschwister-Scholl-Str. 1-3, 10117 Berlin
Five hundred years since the German Peasants War, the land question has returned with force. Amid rising land prices, resurgent farmer protests, conflicts over ecological transformation, and deepening struggles over housing, agriculture, and energy, land has reemerged as a central object of political and theoretical debate. This conference invites critical engagement with the structures, histories, and contradictions of agrarian land ownership and land use in contemporary capitalist societies. Land remains at once a condition of life and a site of accumulation; it is essential to any project of democratic transformation and yet persistently enclosed, commodified and financialized. This conference asks what it would mean to socialize land today, that is, to democratize land ownership and reorient land-use to fulfill social needs and ecological demands. Can land be reclaimed as a collective good? On what grounds—political, moral, ecological—can the socialization of land be justified? And what historical, legal, and ideological obstacles stand in its way?
This conference brings together a range of scholars to analyze the land question from political, social, theoretical, legal and historical perspectives. What are the theoretical and practical challenges of socializing land under conditions of financialization and ecological crisis? What lessons can be drawn from past and present experiments with land reform, common ownership, or public planning—particularly in Germany, where the socialization of land has a long and contested history?
Panels include: Land Conflicts in Green Capitalism; Labor, Class and Global Agriculture; Decommodification, Expropriation, Socialization; German Land Politics: Problems and Alternatives; Epistemology of Land; The Value of Land; Decolonizing Land; Land and Political Theory. Keynotes by Omar Dahbour and Isabel Feichtner.
The conference will take place in the auditorium of the Grimm Zentrum, Humboldt University Berlin all day on October 30 and 31, from 9:00 to 19:00. This conference is organized by Rabea Berfelde and Jacob Blumenfeld as part of the research project Socialization in Theory and Practice: Democratizing Access to Land and Energy, based at the Centre for Social Critique, Humboldt University Berlin. This project is funded by the Gerda Henkel Stiftung. No registration required.

edited by Emanuele Citera, Lino Sau and Domenica Tropeano | 2025, Edward Elgar Publishing
This book sheds light on the incoming challenges facing the European Central Bank (ECB) through a post-Keynesian lens. With contributions from expert global scholars and practitioners, it provides novel perspectives on the monetary and financial theory underlying the conduct of the ECB.
Divided into three main parts, chapters cover the theoretical foundations of central banking theory, the threats of climate change and its impact on monetary policy, and the roles of public banks and the interbank market. They critically analyze the ECB's focus on price stability as well as its inflation-targeting regime, before considering whether its independence and mandate should be reviewed in light of current climate realities. The book draws on quantitative data to examine the interactions between carbon emissions, output, and green and brown systems, and concludes by evaluating the possibility of reforming the TARGET2 system to convert the ECB into an international settlement institution.
Presenting cutting-edge insights and innovative solutions to the imminent challenges confronting the ECB, this book is an essential resource for students and scholars of economics, political economy, and money and banking. Its investigation of current and future policy issues will also greatly benefit practitioners and policymakers in these fields.

China's emergence as a twenty-first-century global economic, cultural, and political power is often presented as a story of what Chinese leader Xi Jinping calls the nation's "great rejuvenation," a story narrated as the return of China to its "rightful" place at the center of the world. In China's Revolutions in the Modern World, historian Rebecca E. Karl argues that China's contemporary emergence is best seen not as a "return," but rather as the product of revolutionary and counter-revolutionary activity and imaginings.
From the Taipings in the mid-nineteenth century through nationalist, anti-imperialist, cultural, and socialist revolutions to today's capitalist-inflected Communist State, modern China has been made in intellectual dissonance and class struggle, in mass democratic movements and global war, in socialism and anti-socialism, in repression and conflict by multiple generations of Chinese people mobilized to seize history and make the future in their own name. Through China's successive revolutions, the contours of our contemporary world have taken shape. This brief interpretive history shows how.

An indispensable guide to approaching key philosophical and political questions from a Marxist-feminist point of view.
The book shows the fruitfulness of combining Marxist and feminist perspectives in our analysis of oppression under capitalism. Different modes of production like capitalism and feudalism have structures – "relations of production" – which shape and limit the potentials for human emancipation in general and women's freedom in particular. Capitalism, then, is best understood as a framework within which other relations of oppression operate, with more or less salience in different times and places. Each of the essays takes this basic approach to key philosophical questions about freedom, rationality and human nature.

Environmental degradation, crises in care and the predations of finance capital impose new challenges to human reproduction. It is imperative to understand their roots in capitalism. But how best to do so? This book develops the concept of ‘immanent externalities’ to grasp the non-capitalist life processes produced by – and necessary for – capitalist reproduction. Immanent Externalities thus considers the category of reproduction by means of a philosophical re-reading of the three volumes of Marx’s Capital. In doing so, the book locates capitalism’s fundamental contradiction as that between the reproduction of profit-driven activity and ecologically situated human life, suggesting new orientations for theory and practice today.

by Samezō Kuruma, edited and translated by Michael Schauerte | 2025, Haymarket Books
A groundbreaking work of Marxian economics, this book sets out to complete Marx's unfinished theory of crisis.
Karl Marx wrote extensively on crisis but never transformed these reflections into a coherent theory. Starting from Marx's observation that the crises of the world market are the 'real concentration and forcible adjustment of all the contradictions of the bourgeois economy', Samezō Kuruma, a Japanese Marxian economist, seeks to grasp the inherent contradictions that drive forward and limit capitalism. His focus on the contradictory dynamics of capitalism sets him apart from Marxian thinkers who try to identify a single, primary cause of crisis. This volume brings together the entirety Kuruma's writing related to crisis.

Between August 2022 and July 2024, GMB Union membership at Amazon's BHX4 Coventry warehouse skyrocketed, with 37 days of strike action resulting in a 28.5% pay rise. Yet despite this, the union narrowly lost a ballot that would have forced Amazon to grant formal recognition. Based on ethnographic research and reflective essays from worker-leaders and organizers, this book offers a rich case study of the factors contributing to the union's successes and setbacks. It provides a practical organizing model applicable beyond Amazon, offering strategies to engage the workforce, sustain support and develop leadership. An essential toolkit for those navigating the complexities of evolving labour practices, with particular relevance for precarious workers and workplaces where access is limited.

Money is central to capitalism and to our many sustainability crises. Could we remake money so as to advance sustainable economies and fair societies? A growing number of scholars, politicians and activists think we can, and they are doing it from the bottom up. This book examines how grassroots groups, municipalities and radical crypto-entrepreneurs are remaking money by designing and organising complementary currencies. It argues that in their novel ideas and governance practices lie the key for building green and inclusive economies. Engaging imaginatively with the future of money, this accessible book will appeal to anyone interested in constructing a more sustainable and just world.

Growing up and older at work is something we all experience, yet it remains surprisingly overlooked and under theorized in management and organization studies.
In this groundbreaking book, Kathleen Riach draws on a 10 year longitudinal study to offer fresh theoretical and empirical insights into how ageing is experienced in the workplace.
Introducing a new phenomenological theory of ageing at work, the book examines how individuals negotiate age-biased workplace cultures and adapt to their changing bodies within the context of financial capitalism. It reveals that ageing at work is not simply about demographic change or ageist stereotypes, but is an ongoing process that involves balancing professional expectations, the life course, and the self.

In the last two years, Dutch universities have become increasingly hostile environments for people speaking up about Palestine. This has impacted many individuals who have faced different forms of repression and silencing. One colleague, Harry Pettit, has been going through continuous disciplinary procedures for many months, which are unfortunately not stopping.
Broader support and signatures from people outside the Netherlands for this open letter would be valuable.
The letter demands that Radboud University—alongside all Dutch universities—stops the harassment of colleagues and creates a safer environment for everyone who wants to speak out.
Given the media attention and the mounting assault from the extreme right on Radboud University at the moment, circulation and publication of the letter as soon as possible is important. Sharing with trusted colleagues within other universities who might be interested in signing would be appreciated.
The Italian Association for the History of Political Economy (STOREP) has issued a statement expressing concern about the situation in Palestine, particularly in the Gaza Strip, joining other scientific associations in Italy and internationally.
STOREP notes that many academic associations have taken positions, including the Italian Society of International Law and European Union Law (SIDI), the Italian Political Science Association (SISP), and internationally, associations such as the Association for Heterodox Economics (AHE). The statement emphasizes that "the scientific community feels a responsibility to speak out publicly even on issues that go beyond its own disciplinary field."
STOREP draws attention to an ongoing public appeal signed by academics, scholars and professionals from various disciplines, including public health, medicine, history, sociology, economics, political sciences, and psychology. The appeal addresses professional and academic associations, urging them to publicly recognize the humanitarian crisis, call for immediate international intervention including a permanent ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian access, defend academic freedom for those who research and advocate on Palestine, and provide support to displaced scholars, students, and healthcare professionals.
The petition states: "In times of atrocity, professional silence is not neutrality. It is endorsement and moral abdication."

This message seeks support in endorsing a collective appeal to the SAARC Secretary General regarding the arbitrary termination of Dr. Snehashish Bhattacharya, Associate Professor of Economics at South Asian University (SAU), Delhi.
Dr. Bhattacharya's dismissal follows over two years of sustained victimisation. He was selectively targeted, along with a few others, for opposing the administration's decision to call police on campus during student protests against stipend cuts and for representation in university committees. The administration subsequently expelled and suspended students—a decision later quashed by the Delhi High Court. Dr. Bhattacharya's principled stance, aligned with the ethos and responsibilities of a teacher, and his refusal to submit a coerced letter of regret, ultimately resulted in his termination. This action has drawn strong coverage in the Indian press, overwhelmingly in his favour. As he pursues a prolonged legal battle in the Delhi High Court—delayed because SAU claims immunity as an international university—this appeal extends solidarity to him.
The letter, drafted by Surbhi Kesar (SOAS) and Rohit Azad (JNU) and endorsed by leading scholars from JNU, SOAS, Notre Dame, UMass-Amherst, and others, calls on SAARC and the SAU administration to revoke this termination, reinstate Dr. Bhattacharya, and safeguard the university as a space for dialogue, inquiry, and academic freedom.
