Heterodox Economics Newsletter www.heterodoxnews.com <http://www.heterodoxnews.com/n/htn89.htm> Issue 89: October 8, 2009 From the Editor This issue marks the beginning of the sixth year of the Heterodox Economics Newsletter. And quite appropriately it is full on new call for papers, conferences, new books, and may other things. If you are looking for an academic position, seven jobs are listed as well as a PhD studentship. I would like to especially note the call for papers for the AHE conference and the URPE Reality Tour at the ASSA meetings (in the FYI section). At the ASSA meetings, ICAPE will again have a booth in the Exhibition Center. If you are interested in using the booth to display information about your associations, events, books, etc. please send me an e-mail telling me so. The booth is open to all economists interested in pluralism. In the next couple of weeks I will be sending out a request for the staffing of the booth. Please make use of the booth and stop by it to chat. On another ICAPE matter, ICAPE will be putting on its 3rd International Conference on 3-5 June 2009. It will be held at Western New England College, Springfield, Massachusetts. Althought the call for papers has not yet been finalized, its working title is "Failing Economies, Falling Economics: Rebooting Economics after the Crash"; and its working general theme is value of economic pluralism in the light of the recent global economic crisis. It is of interest to note that the crisis has not made mainstream economists to even begin to question their theories. In fact, we find in the case of Notre Dame that the mainstream wants to completely extinguish the flame of alternative economic thinking. Why mainstream economists react in this manner to alternative thinking will be a major concern of the conference. So if you are really interested in discussing the future of the discipline of economics, this is the conference for you. Finally, back in 1998 I began distributing information relevant to heterodox economists mostly in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Over time I obtained more e-mail addresses from around the world and sent out information more or less on a 2-4 week basis. But the reach of my distribution network of heterodox economists meant that more information was sent to me to sent. To manage this increased workload I established the Newsletter. But the success of the Newsletter (which now goes out to around 4,500 heterodox economists) meant that the time I hoped to free up for research did not occur. Now that I am the editor of the AJES, I find that I may not have enough time to do both jobs successfully and also do some research. Thus, the future of the Newsletter is uncertain.
