HETERODOX ECONOMICS NEWSLETTER

Issue 77: February 14 , 2009

From the Editor

Rick Wolff has just produced a film, “Capitalism Hits the Fan,” that deals with the current crisis in American capitalism; description of and links to the film can be found in the FYI section. There are also some interesting new call for papers, one being the ‘Cross-Border’ Post Keynesian conference, another being the IIPPE Workshop, and the third being the Labour Geography conference. In addition, there are the new seminars put on by the French Post Keynesian analyses and modeling working group. If you are a young PhD or if you have doctoral students, you need to be aware of two important events: the CES Critical Summer School and APORDE (which fully funds its participants). Finally, there are a number of interesting books, including How Should Research be Organised? by Donald Gillies and La Theorie Economique Neoclassique by E. Benicourt and B. Guerrien which contains a very good critique of neoclassical microeconomics.

One last thing, Wolfram Elsner and I are putting on a Workshop on Assessing Economics Research in a European Context: the future of heterodox economics and its research in a non-pluralist mainstream environment. The particulars of the Workshop are given below under Call for Papers, including the Workshop themes. However, we would like to emphasis that we are quite open to paper on topics that do not have a European context but address issues that are relevant to the European context, such as for example research assessment and journal rankings in Australia. If you have any questions about possible paper topics, please e-mail Wolfram or myself.
