Heterodox Economics Newsletter

From the Editor

Last week I gave a series of lectures on heterodox microeconomics at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogota. I was treated very well, the students were very interesting, and the sightseeing wonderful. In the course of my lectures I mentioned something about taxes, government printing money, and chartalism that generated a great deal of interest among the audience, certainly more so than my discussion of pricing and prices, which some of my colleagues at UMKC will say is quite natural.

On Friday, June 1 the 2nd ICAPE Conference – Economic Pluralism for the 21st Century – begins. There will be over 200 economists at the conference includes loads of graduate students and young professors. If you cannot make the Conference, then check out its web site, which is given below. Look at the papers being presented and if some strike your fancy, then go to the presenters index to get their e-mail address and then e-mail them for their paper. Rob Garnett and company have done a wonderful job organizing the Conference.

Prior to the AHE Conference in Bristol United Kingdom on 13-15 July 2007 there will be a Postgraduate Workshop on Advanced Research Methods run by Paul Downward. It is open to postgraduate students studying in the UK (and others if they pay their own way). It is a very exciting workshop where various kinds of research methods are covered, not just econometrics. For further information, see below.

There are a number of new calls for papers to check out as well as many conferences and seminars that are taking place. In addition, among the journals you might want to look at La Revista de Economia Institucional; and among the many interesting books in the Newsletter, you might want to look at Microeconomia Heterodoxa. Finally, the Newsletter has been added to INTUTE: Social Sciences--see below.

One final note, check out “Hip Heterodoxy” below and find out why Peter Dorman (that brilliant heterodox economist) was called an astrologer by Hal Varian as well as various little-known and well-known facts, tales, and stories about heterodox economics.
