Heterodox Economics Directory
Today an international student initiative published an open letter calling for a more pluralist and open-minded approach to economic teaching and research. I think we should applaud these students, who come from 19 different countries, for their efforts: They make a sensible and timely contribution to the discourse on economics, which has partly already been covered by leading newspapers (e.g. here [english], here [french] or here [german]). You may sign up as a supporter of the manifesto on their homepage in case you have not already done so. In any case, I strongly recommend to support this student petition!
In addition, I have been informed that the presence of heterodox economics on the world's most important social media platform, Facebook, has been significantly improved. You can check out the site on Facebook, which offers regular updates on interesting news, papers, conferences etc. This improvement of the heterodox economics facebook-site is thereby another development driven by the enthusiasm of economic students, where Payam Sharifi, an econ-student at UMKC, burdened the main workload.
There are also some news from the textbook front: Dollars & Sense has published new editions of their well-known textbooks Real World Macro(31st ed.) and Real World Micro (21st ed.) and Elsevier has released an voluminous heterodox microeconomics textbook by Elsner, Heinrich and Schwardt. Additionally, Adbusters has released a critical introduction into the subject of economics entitled Meme Wars: The Creative Destruction of Neoclassical Economics - this interesting contribution is available as a free pdf to all subscribers of this Newsletter: Simply send an email to [log in to unmask], if you want to request a copy.
All the Best,
Jakob
