Heterodox Economics Newsletter Issue 127 | Feb. 27, 2012 [web <http://heterodoxnews.com/n/htn127.html>] [pdf<http://heterodoxnews.com/n/htn127.pdf> ] Editorial Heterodox economics continues to gain traction. If you missed it, the Washington Post recently published an article on what’s been dubbed as “Modern Monetary Theory” (MMT)<http://heterodoxnews.com/n/htn127.html#id.1kyvwfva370j>. Regardless of one’s view about MMT, it is refreshing to see the mainstream media give heterodox economics and economists a voice. I would also like to point out, as Wray notes in the article, the “blogosphere” deserves credit for expanding the debate to a broader mainstream audience. The Internet is helping to democratize economics. Are we about to experience a “heterodox spring”? We would also like to call your attention to a series of articles on economic education published by a relatively new online news service Remapping Debate <http://heterodoxnews.com/n/htn127.html#id.jyyx3gjcgd7w>. The first article is titled “US Universities, a failing grade in economics.” You’ll see some familiar names quoted throughout the series. Recently we announced that JOIE (Journal of Institutional Economics) was included in SSCI<http://heterodoxnews.com/n/htn119.html#Journal_of_Institutional_Econo> (Social Science Citation Index). Now we are glad to inform you that RRPE (Review of Radical Political Economics) will be indexed in SSCI<http://heterodoxnews.com/n/htn127.html#id.8f1vm8agildp>. Being included in SSCI is a good thing to the extent that heterodox economists who need academic positions and promotions have more outlets for their work. However we should remember that this is not sufficient for the reproduction and expansion of heterodox economics. The Newsletter has already addressed this issue few times (see Fred Lee's last editorial<http://heterodoxnews.com/n/htn92.htm> , Issue 112 <http://heterodoxnews.com/n/htn112.html>, andIssue 113<http://heterodoxnews.com/n/htn113.html>; see also the special issue of the American Journal of Economics and Sociology, 69(5): 2010, on “Evaluating Economic Research in a Contested Discipline: Ranking, Pluralism, and the Future of Heterodox Economics<http://heterodoxnews.com/n/htn108.html#American_Journal_of_Econmics_a_8735663870000792>.” ) Last, it’s somewhat of a reunion week for us. We have organized a workshop on heterodox microeconomics <http://heterodoxnews.com/micro>, and founding HEN editor Fred Lee will give the public keynote presentation this Friday. We’re looking forward to an exciting week! In solidarity Tae-Hee Jo and Ted P.
