From the Editor
Recently I was talking with my editor at the University of Michigan
Press and he told me the following: (1) manuscripts that do not have the
potential to sell 750 copies in the first two years have a chance of not being
accepted (unless there was a subsidy forthcoming to help with the costs); and
(2) book sellers are reluctant to send representatives (and books) to
conferences with less than 200 participants. What this implies for the former
is that heterodox economists need to buy heterodox books to ensure that a
market exists when they want their book published. As for the latter, because
many heterodox conferences have less than 200 participants, it is necessary to
think of ways to increase attendance, such as EAEPE developing an umbrella
conference for all European heterodox economists and heterodox economic
associations or that heterodox economic conferences team up with say history of
thought conferences to generate the needed number of participants. In the end,
the size of the conferences has to grow so that the books we write get
displayed/advertised and bought.
In the Newsletter you will find some interesting call for papers, one being a
conference on Rethinking Popper and another on Jobs and Justice. There are also
a number of notices regarding upcoming conferences and inviting heterodox
economists to participate: my favorite is the AHE Conference in
