[URPE] Heterodox Newsletter- Issue 10

[Lee, Frederic]

Issue-10 April 20, 2005 

 

>From the Editor 

I often hear that heterodox economists do not engage with the larger community of economists but rather just talk among themselves in a cultist fashion. I find this strange because the activities, books, journals, etc. that are posted in the Heterodox Economics Newsletter suggest otherwise. And this Newsletter is no different. The summer school on "Econophysics and Complexity", the Econ Journal Watch, and the conference on "How Class Works" clearly indicate that the heterodox economics community is quite broad in itself and that it deals with economists that do not consider themselves part of it as well as academics and others outside of economics. It is this richness of diversity and intellectual tolerance that makes heterodox economics and its community so dynamic and relatively pleasing place to engage in scholarship and debate. I hope everybody is making summer plans to attend at least one of their favorite heterodox conferences/seminars announced in this Newsletter and read a couple of the books publicized here as well.
