> ICAPE CONFERENCE - THE FUTURE OF HETERODOX ECONOMICS
> 
> The Conference program is now available--see the attachment or go to http://www.econ.tcu.edu/econ/icare/schedule.pdf.  In addition also attached is info about attending the conference.  Excuse my Americanism but this conference is going to be one hell of a conference.  The paper presenters are the WHO's WHO in heterodox economics--these are the people that will make heterodox economics in the 21st Century.  They come from all over:  Ireland, United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden, Brazil, France, Japan, Australia, Netherlands, Germany, Taiwan, Belgium, Austria, Italy, and United States.  And the paper topics are diverse and very interesting (even when not dealing with heterodox micro theory).  More importantly, the papers as a whole will set the agenda for heterodox economics for the next 20 years.  If you want to be where it is happening, talk with and influence and upcoming movers and shakers of heterodox economics who as a collective will be taking heterodox economics into the future you must attend this conference.  GRADUATE STUDENTS are especially invited to attend and it should be noted that there will be 2 sessions on "Graduate Student Perspectives on Heterodox Economics".  MARK YOUR CALENDAR, PULL OUT THOSE CREDIT CARDS, BOOK YOUR HOTELS, SEND IN YOUR CONFERENCE FEE, AND START SINGING:

> TEACHING MARXIST ECONOMICS
> 
> Attached below is the C&C article I mentioned in the last e-mail about "Why Marxist economics should be taught but probably won't be!"  I found the article very interesting.  If you like the article join the Conference of Socialist Economists and subscribe to Capital and Class.

> 1.    SCIENCE AND SOCIETY - SPECIAL ISSUE
> 
> THE DEEP STRUCTURE OF THE PRESENT MOMENT
> The terror attacks of September 11, 2001 brought the question of the nature of the current state of the world painfully to the forefront.  On a slightly longer time frame,  the 1989-91 demise of the Soviet Union and most of its affiliated regimes represents a crucial turning point.  The post-bipolar world is in a state of flux, containing what most people sense as unprecedented dangers, and (less obviously) opportunities.> 
>       The situation clearly requires a bottom-to-top reexamination of fundamentals SS the theory of imperialism; the nature and present stage of capitalist accumulation, class formation and nationhood; the politics of race and gender; the sources and significance of the new polarization and concentration of wealth, both within capitalist states and internationally; the probable shape of international power and alliances in the near future; the nature and significance of the new social movements addressing globalization; the changing role of religion, both in regions of the world with strong precapitalist elements and in advanced capitalist societies; new processes of ideology formation, especially with regard to the unprecedented commodification of social sites and the rise of the Internet.  The list is not intended to be complete; only indicative.
>       We clearly both want and need a diversity of views, and do not expect to arrive at settled conclusions.  There are two guiding general constraints.  First, the issue cannot and should not duplicate the current reportage available in many publications that appear much more frequently than S&S and have much shorter lead times to publication.  The focus must be on the general and structural aspects of a Marxist understanding of the world at the beginning of the 21st century.  Second, we recognize that the sought-for creativity and theoretical transformation represents an ambitious goal; that a useful tension will exist between continuity and novelty in this effort; and that the projected synthesis must strive to avoid both mindless repetition, on the one hand, and careless rejection, on the other, of categories inherited from the various Marxist and critical traditions in social theory.
>       The Guest Editor for the issue is Dr. Renate Bridenthal, Professor of History (Emerita), Brooklyn College (CUNY) and member of the S&S Editorial Board.  Send two hard copies of proposals and papers, one to Dr. Bridenthal (440 Riverside Drive, #87, New York, NY 100270), and one to the Editor, S&S (445 W. 59th St., New York NY 10019).  Inquiries may go to [log in to unmask] or to [log in to unmask]  Deadline for papers is January 1, 2004, with projected publication in Fall 2004 (Volume 68, Number 3).

> 2.    REVIEW OF RADICAL POLITICAL ECONOMICS - SPECIAL ISSUE
> 
> CALL FOR PAPERS IN SPECIAL ISSUE ON HISTORY OF RADICAL (HETERODOX) ECONOMICS
> 
> Throughout its 35-year history, the Union for Radical Political Economics 
> has provided a voice to economists who oppose the neoclassical paradigm and 
> to those who wish to develop a compelling alternative analysis of the 
> economy.  Yet, much of the modern history of radical political economics is 
> located in personal memory and, on occasion, conveyed via the oral 
> tradition of storytelling.  It remains largely unwritten, much less 
> critically analyzed.  It is with this in mind that the Review of Radical 
> Political Economics announces a special issue on the History of Radical 
> (Heterodox) Economics.
> 
> This broad topic includes many different themes. Articles may be on the 
> history of radical economics departments within and outside of the United 
> States. Articles may be on the history of URPE and RRPE and their 
> relationships with related groups.  Articles may be on the history of 
> fields of inquiry within contemporary radical thought.  In particular we 
> wish to explicitly encourage organizational histories and personal accounts 
> that are embedded in the history of ideas and in the development of 
> particular research programs in political economy.
> 
> Articles should be sent to the editor of RRPE by July 1, 2004, specifying 
> their consideration for the special issue on History of Radical (Heterodox) > 
> Economics.  Therefore, send four copies of any article in this area to:
> Hazel Gunn, Editor, RRPE
> Dept of City and Regional Planning
> 106 W. Sibley Hall
> Cornell University
> Ithaca, New York 14853
> 
> 3.    A CALL FOR PAPERS FOR A JOHN KENNETH GALBRAITH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM WILL BE ISSUED SOMETIME SOON--SO BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR IT.  THE SYMPOSIUM WILL TAKE PLACE IN PARIS SEPTEMBER 23-25, 2004.
