From joan.roelofs at verizon.net Tue Jan 1 11:12:19 2008 From: joan.roelofs at verizon.net (Joan Roelofs) Date: Tue, 01 Jan 2008 13:12:19 -0500 Subject: [URPE] new foundation book Message-ID: <000001c84ca1$d9e5a290$8db0e7b0$@roelofs@verizon.net> Call for Papers: The Critical Study of Foundations (As part of the series Studies in Critical Social Science, Brill Academic Press) Edited by: Michael Barker, Political Science, Griffith University, Australia Daniel Faber, Sociology, Northeastern University, MA Joan Roelofs, Political Science, Keene State College, NH Since their creation in the early 20th century, general purpose foundations have been criticized as controlling, dominating, cultural imperialist, and hegemonic. Radicals have argued that even their most admirable undertakings serve primarily to steer dissent into safe channels and postpone necessary social change. There have been a few important publications in this vein in recent years, but far more investigation is needed to throw light on the subject (which often prefers to remain in shadow). This volume seeks contributions on the theme of foundations as hegemonic. We assume that their programs, investments, ideology, and processes are primarily designed to protect and enhance the wealth and power of the global elite; evidence that supports or challenges this is relevant to our project. How can their vast power be reconciled with the democratic premises of equality and government by the people? How do they co-opt movements and dissenters while leaving the unfunded nonconformists to slow extinction? We welcome contributions from all nations, and concerning varied spheres of life. Some topics include (but are not limited to): * Higher education * K-12 public education * political culture and "buzzwords" * media, including internet publications * International non-governmental organizations, including world social forum * International governmental organizations, including the United Nations * Civil rights and feminist organizations * Social service provision * Newer foundations, such as Gates * Radical foundations * Corporate foundations * Comparing conservative and liberal foundations * Science and environment * Investments of foundations * Foreign policy Please submit a 500 word title and abstract/proposal by March 1, 2008, outlining the theoretical framework, main points, and methodology of your paper to Joan Roelofs (joan.roelofs at verizon.net). First drafts of papers will be due August 1, 2008 Papers ideally will be no more than 35 pages, written in English, and submitted electronically in Word or RTF format.

From fkaboub at drew.edu Thu Jan 10 18:18:00 2008 From: fkaboub at drew.edu (Fadhel Kaboub) Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2008 20:18:00 -0500 Subject: [URPE] The Revival of Political Economy Conference at Drew University - Feb. 9, 2008 Message-ID: <47867D47.F2AA.0012.0@drew.edu> The Department of Economicsat Drew University Presents The Revival of Political Economy An all-day conference with distinguished scholars in Political Economy Saturday February 9, 2008 9 a.m. ? 5 p.m. Hall of Sciences, HS 4 Drew University, 36 Madison Ave., Madison, NJ 07940 Conference Webpage: http://depts.drew.edu/econ/RPE/ Nancy Folbre, author of The Invisible Heart: Economics and Family Values (2001), andProfessor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, presents ?You Go, Girls! Feminism and Political Economy.? The presentation explores the intellectual history of feminism and economics, reviewing classic debates between liberal and socialist feminists and emphasizing their relevance to the current day. Dr. Folbre will provide an overview of feminist economics today with an emphasis on the discourse of ?care? and growing empirical research on the ?care sector? of the economy. James K. Galbraith, author of Created Unequal (1998), Professor of Economics at the University of Texas at Austin, and Senior Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute, presents ?The Political-Economy of U.S.-China Relations? in which he examines the mutual interdependence that now exists between the U.S. and China, the peculiar - even unique - characteristics of China?s economic expansion, the implications of China?s rise for the development strategies of other countries, especially in Latin America, and the consequences of China?s financial boom for its economic statistics, many of which including the trade surplus are distorted and misunderstood as a result. Michael Hudson, author of Super Imperialism (1972 and 2003), Distinguished Research Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri ? Kansas City, and President of the Institute for the Study of Long-Term Economic Trends (ISLET), presents ?The U.S. and Global Bubble Economy? in which he explains the essence of the increasingly financialized Bubble Economies and their impact on the global payments system. Dr. Hudson argues that the United States enjoys an international free ride by virtue of the dollar hegemony as key currency in international payments, thus allowing the U.S. to run up debts without international constraint. Dr. Hudson challenges the claim that U.S. consumer demand is the ?engine? that drives world economic growth; a claim that is used as a threat to foreign central banks who are forced to relend their inflow of surplus dollars to the U.S. Treasury, otherwise their currencies will rise, reducing their competitive position vis-?-vis dollar-area exporters. Foreign economies therefore have held down their exchange rates by keeping their own interest rates low, spurring financial and real estate bubbles of their own. Dr. Hudson concludes that for the global economy, dollar hegemony has become a form of international economic overhead. Jan Kregel, Distinguished Research Professor at the Center for Full Employment and Price Stability (UMKC), and Senior Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute, presents ?Savings Gaps, External Resources and Debt Crises in Latin America: Towards a New Model of Development in Latin America.? Dr.Kregel questions the traditional development theory which identifies the obstacles to development in the lack of domestic resources and domestic savings in developing countries. It thus supports reliance on external resources in the form of official assistance and foreign borrowing. Latin America has followed this model and the result has been a series of increasingly devastating debt crises. In the 2005 Global Summit Outcome, the UN shifted emphasis to give greater weight to domestic employment policy - one of the most underutilized domestic resources in developing countries. After the 2001 crisis, Argentina has initiated a new approach based on producing domestic growth before it attempts to return to borrowing in international capital markets. Do these changes in emphasis represent the basis for a New Model of Latin American development?

URPE welcomes proposals on radical political economic theory and applied analysis from a wide variety of theoretical traditions. Proposals for complete sessions are encouraged and should include the session title, a brief description of each paper, and the names, institutional affiliations, and email addresses of the chair, discussants, and presenters. Proposals for sessions should contain four papers. If you are proposing a complete session, please arrange to have discussants for your papers and a chair for your session. As the organizer of this session, you are responsible for conveying administrative information to session members, including confirmation that the session has been accepted, the time and location, and deadlines. Proposals for individual papers should include the title, the abstract, and the author's name, institutional affiliation, and email. Individuals whose papers are accepted may also be expected to serve as a discussant for a different paper at the meetings. If you list the areas you prefer to discuss, all attempts will be made to match your preferences. Individual papers that are accepted will be assigned to sessions and each session will have an assigned organizer. It is the organizer's job to convey administrative information to session members, including confirmation that the session has been accepted, the time and location, and deadlines. URPE has no paid ASSA staff, so those presenting papers must share the burden of organizing. The deadline for proposed papers and sessions is May 1, 2008. At that time individual and panel proposals will be checked to be sure everyone is current with their URPE dues and given until May 15 to have everyone be current or the proposals will be set aside. Please note that anyone who presents a paper (but not the chairs or discussants) must be a member of URPE (except at joint sessions with other groups, in which case they can be a member of the other organization) at the time of submission of the paper or panel proposal. Contact urpe at labornet.org or 413-577-0806 for membership information. We will confirm membership prior to accepting proposals. We regret that high quality individual papers may be turned down due to the inability to place them in a session with papers with similar themes. For this reason, we strongly encourage proposals for full sessions. The number of sessions we can accept is limited by ASSA, and we regret that high quality sessions may be turned down as well. Please note that the date, time, and location of sessions is assigned by ASSA, not URPE. You should receive word from URPE that your paper/session was accepted by mid-June. ASSA will not assign dates and times until much later in the summer. A completed copy of the Program Registration Form (below) is required with your submission. Submissions will NOT BE ACCEPTED BY EMAIL. Only applications received by the May 1 deadline will be considered. If you have any questions, please contact one of the URPE at ASSA coordinators: Fred Moseley, Mount Holyoke College Laurie Nisonoff, Hampshire College fmoseley at mtholyoke.edu lnisonoff at hampshire.edu URPE AT ASSA San Francisco January 3-5, 2009 PROGRAM REGISTRATION FORM Please fill out this form for each panel participant.

It is the responsibility of the organizer of a panel to ensure this membership requirement prior to May 1.

He was a longtime columnist for Business Week and continues to write columns in the Boston Globe. For four decades, Kuttner's intellectual and political project has been to revive the politics and economics of harnessing capitalism to serve a broad public interest. He has pursued this ideal as a writer, editor, teacher, lecturer, commentator and public official. He is the author of seven books on economic policy. His most recent, the Squandering of America, explores the political roots of America's narrowing prosperity and the systemic risks facing the U.S. economy. He has just begun work on a new book on the challenge of regulating global capitalism. Earlier works include: Everything for Sale: The Virtues and Limits of Markets (1997); The End of Laissez-Faire (1991); The Life of the Party (1987); The Economic Illusion (1984); and Revolt of the Haves (1980). Kuttner's magazine writing has appeared in The New York Times Magazine and Book Review, The Atlantic, The New Republic, The New Yorker, Dissent, Columbia Journalism Review, and Harvard Business Review. He has contributed major articles to The New England Journal of Medicine as a national policy correspondent and has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs. Kuttern graduated from Oberlin College, with highest honors, and from the London School of Economics. He took a leave from his doctoral program at Berkeley after receiving his M.A. with distinction, to pursue a career in journalism and public service.

This is an INTRODUCTORY level course (no prereq), is in a Social Sciences (not Economics) dept., and can be taught fairly heterodoxly. I taught the parallel macro last year, emphasizing that the economy is a social creation (not a "thing out there given by God") and can be changed by humans, with no flak. The students are varied in ability and interest, as in most community colleges. The course meets Mondays & Thursdays, 11:00 - 12:15. PhD not required. If interested, please contact: Robin G.

I will be coordinating these for IAFFE and working with UPRE panel coordinators for the ASSAs -- Fred Moseley and Laurie Nisonoff. I welcome proposals on feminist and radical political economic theory and applied analysis. At least one of the panels will focus on papers which address the intersections of race and gender. The other two will be based on the topics of proposals received. Proposals for* individual papers* should include the title, the abstract, and the author's name, institutional affiliation, phone and email. I will also need to know if you (and any co-authors) are a member of URPE and/or IAFFE and will need contact information if different from above during (northern hemisphere) summer months. Please send to randy.albelda at umb.edu . Proposals for* complete sessions* are possible. If you want to propose a panel, please contact me at randy.albelda at umb.edu . If you are interested in/willing to be a chair or discussant, please let me know. The* deadline* for proposed papers is* April 11, 2008*. The number of panels allocated to heterodox organizations is very limited. The joint IAFFE/URPE panels are allocated to URPE. Please note that anyone who presents a paper (but not the chairs or discussants) must be a member of URPE or IAFFE at the time of* submission* of the paper or panel proposal. Preference will be given to presenters who are members of both organizations. Contact_ urpe at labornet.org _ or 413-577-0806 for URPE membership. Contact iaffe.org for IAFFE membership information. /We will confirm membership prior to accepting proposals/. URPE is very serious about this and will cancel panels in which any members (besides chairs or discussants) are not URPE or IAFFE members. Please note that the date, time, and location of sessions is assigned by ASSA, not URPE or IAFFE. You should receive word from me that your paper/session was accepted by mid-June. ASSA will not assign dates and times until much later in the summer.

We believe: * A clean and safe environment is a birthright of every person. It is not a commodity to be distributed on the basis of purchasing power, nor a privilege to be distributed on the basis of political power. * Safeguarding the natural environment is inseparable from promoting social justice. Without a fair distribution of wealth and power, neither the free market nor government regulation will guarantee environmental quality and human well-being. * Today's environmental challenges demand new thinking. By engaging with real-world problems economists can help craft effective solutions and build a more just and sustainable future. E3 Network's mission is to develop better theory and research within the economics profession, and to involve economists who share our principles more actively in policy development, through dialogue and cooperation with environmental advocates. E3's internship program pays for graduate students in economics to work with non-governmental organizations on environmental issues during the summer months. NGOs benefit from the expertise of the interns' training in economics. Graduate students learn about the real world issues confronting the environmental community and explore possible avenues for their research and professional development. Interns also attend a two-day summer workshop where they attend seminars and work closely with E3 economists on their research ideas. Recent interns were placed with the National Research Defense Council, International Rivers Network, Clean Air-Cool Planet, Global Development and Environment Institute, Environmental Law and Policy Center, Massachusetts Climate Action Network. The deadline for applications for Summer 2008 is March 15. To apply, please email the following information by the March 1 deadline to director at e3network.org : * Curriculum vita * One letter of reference * A two-page statement of your research interests and how they relate to E3 Network's principles For more information, please visit our website at: www.e3network.org Kristen Sheeran Ph.D. Executive Director Economics for Equity and the Environment: E3 Network www.e3network.org Associate Professor of Economics St. Mary's College of Maryland kasheeran at smcm.edu From leefs at umkc.edu Wed Jan 30 14:54:54 2008 From: leefs at umkc.edu (Lee, Frederic) Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 15:54:54 -0600 Subject: [URPE] Heterodox Economics Newsletter 56 Message-ID: <9A72753A447165498D6B63479DB2E7C903F022FB@KC-MSX3.kc.umkc.edu> Heterodox Economics Newsletter Issue 56: January 30, 2008 From urpe-moderator at lists.econ.utah.edu Wed Jan 30 18:42:55 2008 From: urpe-moderator at lists.econ.utah.edu (urpe-moderator at lists.econ.utah.edu) Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 20:42:55 -0500 Subject: [URPE] [NYC] CEPA: SCEPA Workshop--February 6th--Francisco Rodriguez, Wesleyan University References: <474AB933.5B1A.007C.0@newschool.edu> <474E8B3E.5B1A.007C.0@newschool.edu> Message-ID: <47A1279F.1030801@lists.econ.utah.edu> The Spring 2008 SCEPA Economic Policy Workshop Series kicks off next week with: Francisco Rodriguez, Wesleyan University "Cleaning Up the Kitchen Sink: Growth Empirics when the World is Not Simple" To download the paper visit: http://newschool.edu/cepa/events/events_epwksp.htm Workshop will be held Wednesday, February 6th from 12:30 p.m.-2:00 p.m. 79 Fifth Avenue (Entrance at 6 east 16 St.), 10th Floor, Room 1009 FREE and open to the New School community and the public.

Feminism and Political Economy.? The presentation explores the intellectual history of feminism and economics, reviewing classic debates between liberal and socialist feminists and emphasizing their relevance to the current day. Dr. Folbre will provide an overview of feminist economics today with an emphasis on the discourse of ?care? and growing empirical research on the ?care sector? of the economy. James K. Galbraith, author of Created Unequal (1998), Professor of Economics at the University of Texas at Austin, and Senior Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, presents ?The Political-Economy of U.S.-China Relations? in which he examines the mutual interdependence that now exists between the U.S. and China, the peculiar - even unique - characteristics of China?s economic expansion, the implications of China?s rise for the development strategies of other countries, especially in Latin America, and the consequences of China?s financial boom for its economic statistics, many of which including the trade surplus are distorted and misunderstood as a result. Michael Hudson, author of Super Imperialism (1972 and 2003), Distinguished Research Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri ? Kansas City (UMKC), and President of the Institute for the Study of Long-Term Economic Trends (ISLET), presents ?The U.S. and Global Bubble Economy? in which he explains the essence of the increasingly financialized Bubble Economies and their impact on the global payments system. Dr. Hudson argues that the United States enjoys an international free ride by virtue of the dollar hegemony as key currency in international payments, thus allowing the U.S. to run up debts without international constraint. Dr. Hudson challenges the claim that U.S. consumer demand is the ?engine? that drives world economic growth; a claim that is used as a threat to foreign central banks who are forced to relend their inflow of surplus dollars to the U.S. Treasury, otherwise their currencies will rise, reducing their competitive position vis-?-vis dollar-area exporters. Foreign economies therefore have held down their exchange rates by keeping their own interest rates low, spurring financial and real estate bubbles of their own. Dr. Hudson concludes that for the global economy, dollar hegemony has become a form of international economic overhead. Jan Kregel, Senior Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, and Distinguished Research Professor at the Center for Full Employment and Price Stability (UMKC), presents ?Savings Gaps, External Resources and Debt Crises in Latin America: Towards a New Model of Development in Latin America.? Dr.Kregel questions the traditional development theory which identifies the obstacles to development in the lack of domestic resources and domestic savings in developing countries. It thus supports reliance on external resources in the form of official assistance and foreign borrowing. Latin America has followed this model and the result has been a series of increasingly devastating debt crises. In the 2005 Global Summit Outcome, the UN shifted emphasis to give greater weight to domestic employment policy - one of the most underutilized domestic resources in developing countries. After the 2001 crisis, Argentina has initiated a new approach based on producing domestic growth before it attempts to return to borrowing in international capital markets. Do these changes in emphasis represent the basis for a New Model of Latin American development? This event is free and open to the public, and is co-sponsored by the Economics Department, the Economics Club, and The Presidential Initiative Fund of Drew University.

A first project I co-directed with Christian Barry, a philosopher until recently at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, has led to a collection of papers in a book we call "Dealing Fairly with Developing Country Debt." We brought together philosophers, theologians, economists and lawyers to help us think through some issues of "fairness" in how developing countries do or should get out of sovereign debt crises. Christian has moved on to Australia, but I am presenting some of the book with two of our other authors at The New School on February 21. The venue is something special, as the "Orozco Room" in which the panel discussion will take place is covered with murals by Jos? Clemente Orozco, one of the radical Mexican muralists, who painted the room in the 1930s. We are especially pleased that The New School will let us hold the session in this special place. If you come, you will see why it is such a fitting venue. Hope some of you can make it. Details and a link to even more details below.

The challenge then was for them to break with the colonial past and forge new policies that could enhance their economic autonomy, propelling them along a path of independent development. For Caribbean intellectuals this meant seeking, first, to understand the structure and workings of the Caribbean economy and its connectedness with the colonial economy and, second, to break or radically transform this relationship in a way that would serve the developmental goals of the region. Thus, much of the work of Caribbean political economists, including Arthur Lewis and the New World Group, was engaged with understanding the workings of the Caribbean economy. The international climate, with a tremendous influx of new states in Africa and Asia, and the consolidation of formerly independent states in Latin America, provided a rich ferment of ideas and hope for constructing a truly independent economic path for countries of the ?South?. It was a fertile and permissive environment for the development of a home-grown Caribbean political economy. The New World Group?s intellectual explorations connected closely with the dependency school that emerged in Latin America, contributing to its richness. Critical thought also drew upon the activism of the South, particularly the Non Aligned Movement and Group of 77, in seeking to transform the character of their relationship with the North, to one that was more beneficial to their development. This period, from the 1950s to the 1970s, was a productive one for intellectual output, which cemented the Caribbean?s place at the forefront of critical analytical thought. It witnessed the emergence of a number of intellectual luminaries whose contribution to critical thought is without question. This contribution includes Lloyd Best?s and Kari Levitt?s characterisation of the Caribbean colonial economic model as a ?plantation economy?; Alister McIntyre?s identification of the region?s structural dependency, in both economic and intellectual terms; George Beckford?s attempt to understand the role of agriculture, both peasant and plantation, and the way in which their organisation served to maintain and exacerbate the cleavages between the two systems; and Norman Girvan?s analysis of the role of transnational corporations in the mining sector of developing countries in inhibiting their pursuit of industrial policy, as well as his advocacy of appropriate technological models for developing countries. The Caribbean radical intellectual project, as with the other postcolonial projects of the time, collapsed in the wake of the debt crisis and the international financial institutions? neo-liberal structural adjustment projects, to which many developing countries were subjected. This presaged the emergence of the WTO, which represented the expansion of the GATT project, both in terms of coverage, to include most developing countries, as well as in extending the breadth of liberalisation beyond goods to include services, trade-related investment and intellectual property. So, for countries of the South, the WTO?s emergence represented a radical transformation of the global political economy away from possibilities of autonomous development paths, or even paths pursued by the North in their bid for development. This presents a severely curtailed path of ?development? for countries of the South based on their ?integration? into the so-called ?global economy? within the framework of neo-liberalism. The neo-liberal agenda also proceeds hand in hand with the globalisation project, which promotes the integration of the world in economic, social, technological and political terms in ways that reduce prospects for autonomous development strategies. The credibility of the development project, with its roots in modernisation theory, has suffered severely at the same time that multilateral institutions are projecting a one-size-fits-all development model. This model is based on the same foundational principles, but with even less of the previous flexibilities. The imperative for Caribbean intellectuals who maintain the goal of genuine economic and political transformation is to develop alternative models of development that challenge this new orthodoxy, while accepting the more fundamental critiques of the development model, but recognising that the scope for presenting alternative paths is severely curtailed by the present international political and economic system. This ninth conference of the Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies (SALISES), ?Reinventing the Political Economy Tradition of the Caribbean?, proposes to take the work of Norman Girvan and his generation of intellectual thinkers as a point of departure for rethinking the political economy of the Caribbean. Norman Girvan is especially recognised for the breadth and originality of his work and because of his association with SALISES. He remains one of a small group of academics from that period who continue an intellectual engagement with the current international paradigm, seeking to find spaces for the articulation of the development challenges of countries of the South, particularly the Caribbean region and its small states. In addition to his academic engagements and intellectual writing, Girvan has been involved at the centre of policy debates and action, with positions at the United Nations Centre on Transnational Corporations (UNCTD), Jamaica?s National Planning Agency (now the Planning Institute of Jamaica), and the Association of Caribbean States as Secretary-General. His association with SALISES, which represents a merger between the UWI?s Consortium Graduate School of the Social Sciences (CGSSS) and the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER), is manifold: he was Director of CGSSS from 1987 to1999, and became the first director of SALISES, after its merger with ISER in 1999. SALISES owes an intellectual debt to both parent institutions. ISER was home, at one period or another, to many of the region?s critical thinkers, including Lloyd Best, Alister McIntyre, M.G. Smith, Adlith Brown and R.T. Smith, as well as publisher of many of their works. In addition, some of these, particularly of the New World Group, have had a close association with CGSSS. These include Kari Levitt and Michael Witter. The CGSSS has provided the region with a generation of policy makers who are now key decision makers in leading national and regional institutions. Since its formation, SALISES has tried to honour these institutions through the quality of its graduate teaching and research. More particularly, it has held a conference each year, rotating among its three campuses ? Mona, Cave Hill and St. Augustine ? to contribute towards sustaining intellectual ferment. This conference takes on added significance as the University of the West Indies celebrates its 60th anniversary. For SALISES, 2008 is also an important milestone, as one of its founding institute, ISER, is as old as the university. The 2008 conference therefore presents an opportune moment to highlight the achievements of both founding institutes: the Consortium Graduate School of Social Sciences and the Institute of Social and Economic Research. The conference also provides the opportunity for SALISES to honour some of the region?s most outstanding thinkers: Lloyd Best, Kari Levitt, Havelock Brewster, George Beckford, and C.Y. Thomas. There will also be an honour roll of all the major contributors to the development of ISER, the CGSSS, and SALISES. The conference themes mirror the main areas of Girvan?s intellectual engagement, spanning both his intellectual contributions which are multi-disciplinary, and his public service. It thus provides scope for the advancing of theoretical investigations into the core disciplines of the social sciences as well as for policy recommendations for governments. We invite participation from academics across the social sciences, practitioners in other institutions involved in formulating and implementing policy, and state and non-state actors. These various modes of intervention will be reflected in publications which emerge from the conference, including a peer-reviewed collection of intellectual papers as well as policy briefs to be presented to governments and regional organisations. SUB-THEMES ? The political economy of Caribbean external relations; and ? The political economy of internally-centred development (i) The political economy of Caribbean external relations Political Dynamics ? Relationships with IFIs and the WTO ? Small states: challenges of globalisation Economic Dynamics ? Dependency ? Foreign investment and transnational corporations ? The mineral sector in Latin America and the Caribbean ? Debt Social Dynamics ? Cultural globalisation ? ICT dynamics ? The digital divide (social and technological perspectives) (ii) The political economy of internally-centred development Political Context ? Formal planning processes in the Caribbean state ? Public sector reform processes in the Caribbean ? the academic as public servant ? Reflections on popular planning Economic Context ? Regional economic integration ? Production strategies ?

The psychological and social dimensions of the political economy of Caribbean states ? Health, family and migration in Caribbean political economy ? Social vulnerability and marginalisation in the Caribbean political economy ? Gender and development ? The cultural economy in the political economy ? Building social consensus for internally-centred development. EXPECTED RESULTS The conference will contribute to the intellectual tradition of the university. A concerted effort will be made to ensure that peculiarities of the Caribbean are taken into account. Participants from other Caribbean countries will be targeted and will be specially invited to present at the conference. One of the aims of the conference organisers is to ensure that policy formulators and implementers participate actively in the conference. Members of regional organisations, e.g., Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States, Caribbean Development Bank, Regional Negotiating Machinery, are expected to contribute to the conference proceedings. EXPECTED OUTCOMES An important tradition of SALISES annual conferences is the publication of the peer-reviewed papers presented at the conference. In addition to the academic publications, policy briefs will be prepared using relevant findings from the presented papers. These briefs will be prepared after the conference and will be provided to policymakers. The Alumni Association of CGSSS and SALISES will also be launched at the conference. The Alumni Association is expected to an important supportive arm of SALISES. Some of the aims of the Alumni Association are: (1) mentorship of students of SALISES; (2) research support to the current research fellows of the institute; and (3) creation of a think tank on the social, economic and political processes in the Caribbean. A scholarship fund for students will also be one of the Alumni Association?s contributions to the institute. -------------------------------------------------------------- From urpe-moderator at lists.econ.utah.edu Fri Feb 22 07:52:39 2008 From: urpe-moderator at lists.econ.utah.edu (urpe-moderator at lists.econ.utah.edu) Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2008 09:52:39 -0500 Subject: [URPE] [NYC] Brecht Forum: Late-Breaking Events Message-ID: <47BEE1B7.6070002@lists.econ.utah.edu> PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY Brecht Forum Late-Breaking Events ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saturday, February 23 10:00 am - 10:00 pm Sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences Student Council of NYU @ Helen and Martin Kimmel Center for University Life, 60 Washington Square South, 4th Floor First National Teach-in On Freedoms at Risk in America (and not a moment too soon) With Norman Finkelstein, John Gerassi, Peter Kirstein, Mark Crispin Miller, Ellen Schrecker, Michael Smith, Lynne Stewart, Lorie Van Auken & Others TBA More Info ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday, February 24 6:30 pm PERFORMANCE 2 Halves of 2 Full Length Plays Ambivalence & Lion of the East by Brooklyn Playwrights Collective Members After putting up a successful production of one-acts, we decided to bring you longer acts, or half-plays, in order to provide between a little and not too much at a time...

As the US economy slips into recession and on top of that we have this bankrupting (not to speak of immoral) war, the topic this year is to remind people that our capitalist system is rough on tens of millions of people even when times are "good" - just getting us out of another recession and another war, while certainly essential, isn't enough. The topic is Poverty and Unemployment. The Permanent Violence of Capitalism. The two Plenaries will Poverty and Unemployment Abroad and at Home: How Much and Why? and Strengthening the Power of the Working Class: What Works and What Doesn't? The David Gordon lecture will be given by Sandy Darity from Duke who many of you know, Guns and Butter Once Again? Another note with more information will come out in mid March.

This is because we have consistently had a table, and sponsored panels. This year URPE will once again be sharing a table with Dollars and Sense Magazine, and we need people to sit at that table. Please consider spending one session (more if you like) there on Saturday March 15 or Sunday March 16. Someone from D&S will also be there for most sessions. The hopefully-final program is now on the Left Forum website. Please look at it, choose a time-period, and let me know as soon as possible. If you are not interested in attending the panels, we can get you a vendor's pass. http://www.leftforum.org/leftforum2008/program.html The conference will take place at Cooper Union, 7 E. 7th St. at 3rd Ave, NYC.

Message-ID: <2554EB56-CA2F-4EE7-964F-5982127C9DD4@pdx.edu> Hello All, I am coming back to teaching, after doing very little while serving as chair of my department and then during sabbatical. So, I'm coming back, wanting to teach a class on "The Economics of War and Empire." Imperialism is something I put some time into reading about, lo these many years ago, but I haven't kept up. Do any of you have relevant syllabi, or just suggestions of readings, that you would be willing to share with me? If so, I would be happy to gather them and post them together to the listserv, as a resource for the rest of you. Thanks a lot! best, Mary *********************************************** Mary C.

Revolutionary state power will set about ending these horrors and meeting the pressing needs of the people. But a truly emancipatory socialism must do more than that. It must lay the basis, and take concrete steps, toward a society where people consciously change the world and themselves, in a society of freely associating human beings and where the need for any kind of state has been surpassed. In that light, Bob Avakian has done path-breaking work to go beyond even the best of the previous socialist societies and re-envision a socialism that is both visionary and viable. His "new synthesis" has tackled a whole realm of questions, including: *HOW DOES THE NEW REVOLUTIONARY POWER MAINTAIN POWER and maintain it as a power worth keeping? How does it not just survive in a world dominated by imperialism, but do that as a base area for further revolutions? *WHAT WOULD BE THE ROLE OF INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, civil society, and politics outside the purview of the state? What would be the role of a constitution and elections? Why would this re-envisioned socialism not only tolerate, but foster, dissent? *WHAT WOULD BE THE RELATION BETWEEN SCIENTISTS, ARTISTS AND INTELLECTUALS carrying out urgent work to meet the most pressing needs of society and, at the same time pursuing work, experimentation and exploration not tied to those kinds of immediate goals? How would the age-old division between those who work with ideas and those who are locked out of that, be overcome--in a way that does not sacrifice but actually enhances vibrancy and intellectual ferment throughout society, in unprecedented ways? *WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF A FEARLESS ATTITUDE TOWARD THE TRUTH and what have been the shortcomings and blinders in regard to this in the communist movement as it has developed? *HOW DOES THIS NEW SYNTHESIS BOTH CONTINUE ON THE PATH FIRST CHARTED BY MARX, LENIN AND MAO--AND YET GO BEYOND IT, IN NEW AND CRUCIAL WAYS? Come hear the presentation and wrangle over all this. Bob Avakian is the leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. And he is more than that: he's an innovative and critical thinker who has taken Marxism to a new place; he's a provocative commentator on everything from basketball to religion, doo-wop music to science; and he's a pit-bull fighter against oppression who's kept both his solemn sense of purpose and his irrepressible sense of humor. Bob Avakian will not be in attendance at this event.

Message-ID: <47D5EA54.3040508@comcast.net> Hi URPE Friends, A few people responded to the earlier request for people to sit at the URPE table, but half the slots are still open. Again, the advantages of having a table are that it lets people know about URPE in general, and it lets people know about specific projects -- the panels we sponsor at the Left Forum, our Summer Conference, Economy Connection, the RRPE, ASSA, etc. They can look at our website and join our listserv, and learn a lot about the work URPE people are doing. URPE has something important to contribute to the Left, and many people don't know about it. This year URPE will once again be sharing a table with Dollars and Sense Magazine. Please consider spending one session (more if you like) there on Saturday March 15 or Sunday March 16. Someone from D&S will also be there for most sessions. The program is now on the Left Forum website. Please look at it, choose a time-period, and let me know right away. If you are not interested in attending the panels, we can get you a vendor's pass. http://www.leftforum.org/leftforum2008/program.html The conference will take place at Cooper Union, 7 E. 7th St. at 3rd Ave, NYC. Thanks!

Matthaei) Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 09:09:20 -0400 Subject: [URPE] Meeting in NYC about Solidarity Economy this Friday; you're invited! Message-ID: Hi, URPERs -- As you may know, I have been working on finding ways to support radical feminist anti-racist anti-classist ecological economic transformation in the U.S. Over the past 5 years, I have become involved in the worldwide solidarity economy movement, which has been cultivated through the World Social Forum movement. In the last year, I have been involved in the formation of a U.S. Solidarity Economy network -- which brings together groups and individuals across the country committed to transforming our economy. I helped organize a series of sessions on this for the U.S. Social Forum last summer, which resulted in the formation of U.S. SEN ( for more info, go to www.ussen.org); I also co-presented a workshop on the solidarity economy at last year's URPE summer conference. Many of SEN's boardmembers are in NYC for the Left Forum this weekend, March 14-16; we are holding an open, informational meeting on the Solidarity Economy Friday from 4-6 pm, see below; we also are presenting a session on the Solidarity Economy at the Left Forum on Sunday, 10 am. Radical economics is a key part of the solidarity economy, I would love it if any URPERs could come to the Friday meeting or Sunday workshop, to find out about and/or become involved in the solidarity economy movement.

This show of force by the immigrant rights movement came as a complete surprise to many political analysts--who seemed no less surprised when the protesters then appeared to go back into the shadows. The dynamics and future of this important but little-understood movement will be the topic of a panel discussion at the Left Forum 2008 conference in New York City on March 15. The panelists are experienced grassroots organizers active in New York-area groups that work with immigrants and their families in community and labor struggles. One panelist, a longtime local organizer who fled his native Chile to escape the Pinochet regime, is now fighting the US government's efforts to deport him. The panel is sponsored by the independent radical magazine Monthly Review (http://monthlyreview.org) and was organized by Jane Guskin and David Wilson, the authors of The Politics of Immigration: Questions and Answers, published by Monthly Review Press last year. Guskin and Wilson have facilitated a number of dialogues around the country since the book came out, addressing people's concerns and questions about the current wave of immigration. "We want to focus on what activists can do to support immigrant community organizing, and what we can all do to start to chip away at anti-immigrant attitudes," says Guskin, who will be on the panel. Left Forum (http://leftforum.org) hosts the largest annual conference of the international and US Left in North America, with nearly 2,000 participants in 2007. Speakers at this year's conference, entitled "Cracks in the Edifice," will include Naomi Klein, Grace Lee Boggs, Tariq Ali, Staughton Lynd and many others.

By David L. Wilson MRZine, 3/6/08 The comic strip adventures of Mr. Block first appeared in 1912 in publications of the Industrial Workers of the World. With his thick, cubic head, Mr. Block, the creation of IWW cartoonist Ernest Riebe, typified a classic type of US worker: scoffing at the idea of working-class solidarity, Mr. Block always sided with his employers against labor organizers, convinced that subservience would make him rich, happy, and possibly president of the United States. Ignoring warnings from Mrs. Block and other workers, in the last frame of each strip he ended up crushed by the bosses he had so loyally supported. Mr. Block is alive and well a century later in the debate over immigration.

But if the reactions of Bush, Merkle, Putin, and Sarkozy mean anything, the confrontation with Iran continues -- as all quickly asserted that Iran still must halt any enrichment of uranium, even if it is only intended for a civilian power program. This should not be surprising, as the confrontation was never really about nukes ... and it still isn't. Our panelists will explore some of the deeper issues. Reza will look at Iran's underlying political and economic motivations that have contributed to its hostile relationship with the US. The release of the recent US intelligence report was an important development in the relationship between the two countries, and reaction to it among political factions in Iran has been varied. Consequently, their policy conclusions are different as well. With a US presidential election underway, and parliamentary and presidential elections coming up in Iran, these differences could play a vital role in the next two years. Potential outcomes range from a normalized relationship to an all-out war. Faramarz will speak about the US neocon imperial vision and what its decline (post-Iraq catastrophe) could mean for Iran/US relations in the remainder of the Bush presidency and beyond, as well as the impact US aggression has had on internal politics in Iran. Tom will look more specifically at US designs on Iran's oil. The fundamental issue behind US policies, he explains, is that the US -- and now, the UN too -- refuse to allow the present Iranian leadership to develop Iran's oil. They are not seen as trusted "businesslike" players in the globalized oil markets. The US fears they will use future oil revenues to acquire a military (nuclear or otherwise) capable of threatening US Gulf hegemony and its oil protectorates there. Meanwhile, the US and Iran have resumed negotiations about pacifying Iraq, raising further questions about US/Iran relations. ****************************** Speaker Bios: Faramarz Farbod is an Iranian-American (a native of Iran). He taught politics in Iran for several years in the 1990s, and has been teaching politics in the US (Moravian College, Bethlehem, PA) since 1998. He is pursuing his PhD in comparative politics at Rutgers University. His primary areas of interest are: American foreign policy in the Third World (especially in the Middle East); issues related to globalization, empire, capitalism, and development; politics of dissent here in America; and issues related to the US media. Reza Ghorashi has a Ph.D. in economics from Fordham University and teaches at Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. His areas of research and interest are international trade, globalization, and the Middle East, particularly Iran. He has published articles in both English and Farsi on the listed subject matters. Tom O'Donnell (Ph.D., nuclear physics) writes and lectures widely on the global oil order and US Middle East and Latin American relations. (See: http://TomOD.com) He is currently a US Fulbright Scholar in Caracas at The Center for the Study of Development (CENDES) at the Universidad Central de Venezuela researcing the political economy of oil in Venezuela in comparison to Algeria. He teaches at The New School's Graduate Program in International Affairs (GPIA) in NYC. Dr. O'Donnell is writing a book on "The New Globalized Oil Order and the Middle East." He spent many years as an industrial organizer/activist in Detroit auto plants and on Chicago railways. Ruth Indeck is the coordinator of Economy Connection, the speaker/resource bureau of URPE. ****************************** URPE National Office: tel: 413-577-0806 . fax: 413-577-0261 .

Are type A male personalities something we should seek or avoid in those we elect? . Should prostitution be legalized? Is the sex business intrinsically sexist? And is power an aphrodisiac, a byproduct of uncontrollable testosterone, or both? Come down to the Brecht Forum, the Emperor's Club of the mind, to join the discussion. Karen Finley is a controversial American performance artist, whose theatrical pieces and recordings have often been labelled "obscene" due to their graphic depictions of sexuality, abuse, and disenfranchisement. She was notably one of the NEA Four, four performance artists whose grants from the National Endowment for the Arts were vetoed in 1990 by John Frohnmayer after the process was condemned by Senator Jesse Helms under "decency" issues. Among Finley's books are Shock Treatment and Enough is Enough: Weekly Meditations for Living Dysfunctionally. Dale Peck, the self-described 'most hated man in literature,' is an author and literary critic. His first novel, Martin and John, is one of the most highly acclaimed works of AIDS literature. In Hatchet Jobs: Writings on Contemporary Fiction, a controversial collection of fiction reviews, Peck's essays on gay and black women's fiction acknowledge the benefits and limitations of identity fiction, while critiques of Julian Barnes and David Foster Wallace show how twentieth-century literary movements continue to shape fiction for both good and ill. Gary Younge, the Alfred Knobler Journalism Fellow at The Nation Institute, is the New York correspondent for the Guardian and the author of No Place Like Home: A Black Briton's Journey Through the Deep South (Mississippi) and Stranger in a Strange Land: Travels in the Disunited States (New Press).

(David Wilson) Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2008 00:19:12 -0500 Subject: [URPE] [NYC] +"Politics of Immigration" Events in New York City, Apr. 3 & 6 Message-ID: ===================================================== 1. Apr. 3: Di?logo en Alto Manhattan; Dialogue in Upper Manhattan 2. Apr. 6: Book Signing at Reverend Billy Revival ===================================================== 1. Apr. 3: Di?logo en Alto Manhattan; Dialogue in Upper Manhattan Autora en Di?logo Participativo Sobre Inmigraci?n El 3 de abril, Jane Guskin, co-autora de un libro sobre inmigraci?n, estar? en la librer?a Cal?ope en el Alto Manhattan para facilitar un di?logo en espa?ol con respecto a este tema controvertido. El evento ser? gratis y abierto al p?blico. Guskin escribi?, con David L. Wilson, The Politics of Immigration: Questions and Answers (La Politica de Inmigraci?n: Preguntas y Respuestas, publicado en julio 2007 por Monthly Review Press), una gu?a pr?ctica que responde a preguntas comunes sobre la inmigraci?n con datos y argumentos claros. Sirve de herramienta para la gente que quieran entender mejor el tema y tambi?n para los activistas que buscan ser m?s eficaces en sus respuestas a las actitudes anti-inmigrantes. Los autores, radicados en la ciudad de Nueva York, han desarrollado un modelo de di?logo basado en el formato del libro que busca animar a las y los participantes a exponer sus preguntas e inquietudes sobre la inmigraci?n, compartir sus experiencias e ideas, y juntos buscar respuestas. Guskin redacta Immigration News Briefs, un resumen semanal de noticias sobre inmigraci?n. En 1997 Guskin y Wilson ayudaron a fundar la Coalici?n para los Derechos Humanos de los Inmigrantes, que se moviliz? en contra de las redadas de inmigraci?n en los sitios de trabajo. Desde abril 2002 hasta abril 2004, los ahora autores trabajaron para liberar a su colega y amigo, Farouk Abdel-Muhti, de la carcel de inmigraci?n. En este momento el libro est? disponsible solo en ingl?s, pero la editorial se encuentra explorando sus opciones para que se saque muy pronto una edicion en espa?ol. Para mas informaci?n sobre el libro y una lista de otros materiales pro-derechos de los inmigrantes, vea el sitio web de los autores al http://thepoliticsofimmigration.org.

EVENTO: Di?logo Participativo Sobre Inmigracion FECHA: Jueves, 3 de abril, 2008 HORA: A las 8 pm LUGAR: Librer?a Cal?ope, 170 Dyckman St (cerca de Sherman Ave) Washington Hts, New York, NY CONTACTO: 212-567-3511 Author at Participatory Dialogue on Immigration On April 3, 2008, Jane Guskin, co-author of a book on immigration, will be at the Cal?ope bookstore in Upper Manhattan to facilitate a dialogue in Spanish on this controversial subject. The event will be free and open to the public. Guskin wrote, with David L. Wilson, The Politics of Immigration: Questions and Answers (published in July 2007 by Monthly Review Press), a practical guide that responds to common questions about immigration with clear facts and arguments. It serves as a tool both for people who seek a better understanding of the issue and for activists who want to be more effective in their responses to anti-immigrant attitudes. The authors, based in New York City, have developed a dialogue model based on the format of the book which seeks to encourage participants to put forward their questions and concerns about immigration, share their experiences and ideas, and work together to form responses. Guskin edits Immigration News Briefs, a weekly bulletin covering immigration-related news. In 1997 Guskin and Wilson helped found the Coalition for the Human Rights of Immigrants, which mobilized against workplace raids. From April 2002 to April 2004, the authors worked to free their colleague and friend, Farouk Abdel-Muhti, from immigration detention. At the moment the book is only available in English, but the publisher is currently exploring options toward release of a Spanish edition soon. For more information about the book and a list of other immigrant rights materials, see the authors' website at http://thepoliticsofimmigration.org.

While Dave's health deteriorated steadily in the last year, he continued to live a rich and engaged life through much of the last decade thanks to the loving support of his wife Jan Carlino and of his many friends. We will all sorely miss him. David was my friend and my teacher about political economy and about life.

Once again, URPE (Union of Radical Political Economics) and IAFFE (International Association for Feminist Economics) plan to co-sponsor up to three sessions at the ASSA annual meeting in 2009. I will be coordinating these for IAFFE and working with UPRE panel coordinators for the ASSAs -- Fred Moseley and Laurie Nisonoff. I welcome proposals on feminist and radical political economic theory and applied analysis. At least one of the panels will focus on papers which address the intersections of race and gender. The other two will be based on the topics of proposals received. Proposals for individual papers should include the title, the abstract, and the author's name, institutional affiliation, phone and email. I will also need to know if you (and any co-authors) are a member of URPE and/or IAFFE and will need contact information if different from above during (northern hemisphere) summer months. Please send to randy.albelda at umb.edu. Proposals for complete sessions are possible. If you want to propose a panel, please contact me at randy.albelda at umb.edu. If you are interested in/willing to be a chair or discussant, please let me know. The number of panels allocated to heterodox organizations is very limited. The joint IAFFE/URPE panels are allocated to URPE. Please note that anyone who presents a paper (but not the chairs or discussants) must be a member of URPE or IAFFE at the time of* submission* of the paper or panel proposal. Preference will be given to presenters who are members of both organizations. Contact_ urpe at labornet.org or 413-577-0806 for URPE membership. Contact iaffe.org for IAFFE membership information. /We will confirm membership prior to accepting proposals/. URPE is very serious about this and will cancel panels in which any members (besides chairs or discussants) are not URPE or IAFFE members.

With best wishes, Simon Chilvers ---------------------------------------------------- 1st Call For Papers 'The Character and Trajectory of the Indian Economic Formation in an Era of Globalisation' Wednesday 26th November to Friday 28th November 2008 University of Delhi, India Contact: indian.formation at gmail.com Web: arts.yorku.ca/neoliberalism Context: The inherent complexity of the present Indian economic formation has underscored the inadequacy of speculative and empiricist attempts to conceptualise it. The gravity of the contemporary human development situation in India demands an appreciation of this. There is an increasing recognition of the need to combine intellectual forces, across disciplines, to theoretically delineate the precise ways in which the myriad elements of the Indian reality constitute an articulated whole. This is the immediate conjuncture. Intellectually, this conference relates to two preceding theoretical attempts within social science to understand the specificity and dynamics of economic formations: viz. the European transition debate, and the Indian 'mode of production' debate. In the former, it was observed that, despite the expansion and commercialisation of the entire European economy from the fifteenth century onwards, in particular locales these changes did not necessarily entail a qualitative transformation in society. The latter debate attempted, in a series of exchanges, to specify the 'mode of production' in the Indian agrarian sector. The aim of this conference is to facilitate discussion and clarification of the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the trajectories discernible in the Indian economic formation. The focus is not to characterise processes in any one sector alone. On the contrary, this conference seeks to unravel the changing interrelationships of various sectors of production and circulation, as well as the linkages that exist with metropolitan capital. In this regard, the actions and reactions of the Indian state in reproducing a totality must analytically be held as of considerable import. The current moment in India undeniably yields many contradictions. The organisers of this conference consider that there is a need for dialogue that appreciates how social scientific analyses must necessarily produce more nuanced and comprehensive studies of the country. Details: The opening keynote will be given by emminent University of Delhi historian Professor K.M. Shrimali. Professor K.M. Shrimali will address the conference on the theme of the mode of production as a concept in Indian historiography, and its salience for contemporary political understandings. University scholars individually representing 22 states of the Indian Union, have already been confirmed to address the conference. This conference has been initiated mostly by Indian scholars. However, the participation of researchers of economic formations in the wider South Asian context is very much anticipated and sought. Indeed, the conference expects much discussion of inter-regional and inter-national economic connections. All interested scholars should submit their work address, a provisional paper title and a one page abstract to the organising committee at indian.formation at gmail.com The deadline for abstract submissions is 1st August 2008. Note: Scholars wishing to present wholly conceptual/methodological reflections, or theoretically illuminating non-South Asian fieldwork, should write to indian.formation at gmail.com outlining their intentions, prior to submitting any abstract. Proposals for organising relevant special sessions within the conference will be considered by the organising committee. Please submit the well-developed details to indian.formation at gmail.com ASAP. A conference registration fee of 150 USD applies to delegates employed or sponsored by institutions/agencies outside of South Asia. Concessions may be granted for certain sections. All delegates with papers accepted by the conference have the option of staying free of cost November 26th to November 28th in clean and comfortable University of Delhi guesthouse accommodation. Delegates remain free, of course, to make their own alternative arrangements.

The Free Tibet movement, claiming historical autonomy from the Chinese mainland, has been in the news all over the world as they attempt to re-frame China's narrative around the Olympics and focus peoples attention on the occupation of their homeland. Still the issue is a contentious one, especially on the left, as some see the favorable media coverage in large parts of west as part of a larger plan to demonize China as a growing super-power, rivaling the traditional imperialist powers like the US, especially on the economic front. Please join us this Thursday, for what should be a lively and informative discussion as we look into, among other things: China and Tibet in historical and current political/econimic contexts, the case for a free Tibet, the Olympics in 2008 & what it means for China, analysis of the western media coverage, the contradictions of the Dalai Lama, and the polarization when it comes to discussing the topic. Speakers bio's (more TBA) Kalaya'an Mendoza is the Grassroots Coordinator of Students for a Free Tibet International. Kalaya'an is a veteran student leader and social justice activist who has served the Tibetan freedom struggle for more than 8 years, first as a Chapter Leader and then as a Regional Coordinator for SFT. While majoring in Global Studies - with an emphasis on China - at the University of California in Santa Barbara, he organized numerous direct actions, concerts, and conferences. YIN Shao Loong is currently a Ph.D candidate at the New School for Social Research. He has worked in environmental, refugee, and economic justice movements in Malaysia and internationally.

Papers & Reports from the U.S. Social Forum 2007. It is available on the web via www.lulu.com/ChangeMaker. This 430 page book documents and theorizes about emerging "solidarity economy" values, practices and institutions which are creating a more just and sustainable economy in the U.S. and in the world. I recommend it for URPERs interested in economic transformation in the U.S. -- and to profs looking for grounded yet inspirational reading for classes in political economy, economic justice, economic alternatives, or to complement a mainstream microeconomics class. $25 for the book; $5 for a downloaded copy. For more information on SOLIDARITY ECONOMY, including the table of contents and short reviews from J.K. Gibson-Graham, Michael Albert, and Gar Alperovitz,see: http://net4dem.org/senet/SENAD2BU.pdf For an electronic examination copy, email Germai at GrowingtheGreenEconomy.org For more information on the U.S. Solidarity Economy Network, see www.ussen.org Also, feel free to email me with any questions.

An Online Summer Course from the Center for Popular Economics Message-ID: <00fe01c8a711$0fc15430$46a37780@Dell820> PLEASE CIRCULATE! THANKS. If you have ever asked yourself... What's the Economy For, Anyway? What should a well-functioning economy do? What's behind lower wages and longer working hours? Should we, ordinary folk have any say in running our own economy? How do we build a more just and sustainable economy? ...then this course is for you! What's The Economy For, Anyway? The Case for a Solidarity Economy and Social Wealth An Online Course offered by the Center for Popular Economics Summer Session I (June 2 - July 10, 2008) Course Fee: $900 for 3 Univ. of Massachusetts Credits or $400 for non-credit students. 40-60 Professional Development Points (in MA) or 3.6 Continuing Education Credits (outside MA) available. Limited scholarships available for non-credit students. The Center for Popular Economics, in collaboration with the Forum on Social Wealth and the Political Economy Research Institute at Univ. of Massachusetts, Amherst is offering a special topics 3-credit online course (Econ 197) this Summer. The course runs from Monday, June 2nd til Thursday July 10th. No background in Economics is required. The course is suited for students as well as activists and community members who want to learn more about the economy. For more info. and course outline please visit: http://www.populareconomics.org/WTEF_Online_Course.html. An overview of the course is presented below. For more details contact Amit Basole at abasole at gmail.com or Emily Kawano at emily at populareconomics.org. Overview: "The Economy" is often portrayed in the media and by politicians as a force of nature that we must adapt to or perish. But we, the ordinary people make our economy tick. Shouldn't we have a say in how it is run and to what purpose? This online course raises the questions: what purpose do we want our economy to fulfill? Is it fulfilling this purpose today? If not, what can we do about it? What resources do we have available in order to effect our changes? The course is comprised of three main parts. Part One takes a look at the performance of the current economic model, known to economists as "Neoliberalism." Although our economic model has allowed unprecedented accumulation of wealth by a few, for the majority of us it has meant falling or stagnant wages, longer work hours, rising healthcare costs, and deterioration of our natural and social environment. We start with a look at the historical roots of neoliberalism and then try to understand the economics behind it. In Part Two, we start talking about how some of the things that we saw going wrong in Part One can be set right. In the midst of growing inequality and corporate power, many grassroots economic alternatives have been springing up throughout the U.S. as well as the rest of the world. This is the new "Solidarity Economy." Grounded in principles of economic democracy, social solidarity, cooperation, egalitarianism, and sustainability, this is an alternative to the Neoliberal vision of the economy. In this part of the course we will look at some examples of such alternatives as well as understand the economics behind them. Building alternatives requires resources. But part of the neoliberal agenda is the diverting of economic resources into fewer and fewer hands. Where will the resources for alternatives come from? In Part Three we talk about a vast store of assets that communities everywhere possess and on which they can draw for constructing alternatives. This store, which we call "social wealth" consists of our cultural and ecological commons and our capacity to work for those we care about. We will also look at how the economics of the care economy or the cultural commons differs from the economics of corporations. -- Amit Basole Department of Economics Thompson Hall University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA 01003 Phone: 413-665-2463 http://www.people.umass.edu/abasole/ blogs: http://www.mehr-e-niimroz.org/ http://maanasarovar.blogspot.com/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

between Public Investment, Public Finance, and Public Policies Wednesday, May 7th 6 - 8 p.m. The New School 66 W 12th St., 66 W 12th St. Dr. Jamee K. Moudud, Professor at Sarah Lawrence College and Dr. John Sarich, Senior Analyst, Office of Tax Policy, New York City Department of Finance Putting the recent political changes in Latin America in context, this talk will focus on the prospects for new directions in public policies that go beyond laissez faire. We will focus in particular on recent proposals, advanced both in academia and civil society, to bring back various forms of state interventionist policies in order to deal with the problems of unemployment, social marginalization, and economic stagnation. The goal of this talk is to address the issues of public expenditures in general and public investment in particular as well as the challenges that all types of public spending face with regard to the constraints of class structure and the availability of taxation revenue. --- Nick Barber GPIA Events Coordinator and Master's Candidate Graduate Program in International Affairs The New School University -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Intro. to Political Economy) We hope to be able to cover them with a halftime line, which would also involve the supervision of senior theses, though that depends on the state of the SUNY budget. (If the budget is too tight, we may have to hire one or more people as adjuncts instead.) If you are interested in either a halftime or adjunct position, or know someone who is, please send hard copies of the following information ASAP to the address below: cover letter, c.v., two letters of recommendation, relevant syllabi, and evidence of teaching effectiveness. SUNY/Purchase is a small liberal arts and fine arts college located approximately 20 miles north of Manhattan. The economics program at Purchase values theoretical diversity, and includes neoclassical, Keynesian, Marxian, and feminist economics perspectives. We also maintain a business concentration and contribute to the campus program in arts management. See our website www.purchase.edu for further information.

We will not be silenced! We are all Sean Bell!" The intention of this event is to have a safe space for communities to be self expressed around the outcome of the Sean Bell case: to educate, to learn, to mourn, to grow, to be real. But most of all, to inspire others and ourselves to take action that will create real change in how New York City police officers are trained to respond and to continue leadership amongst us for the future. This is just the beginning of many. We will share the space with educators, organizers and advocates. This event will give concrete, real, and practical ways to take action for all: for Artists, Teachers, Students, Parents, Children and for anyone who wants to make a difference and will not be kept silent. We are taking all artists' CDs, tapes, prints, photographs, t-shirts and the live painting done that night as donations. All of these will be sold the night of and all the sales will go directly to Sean Bell's family. Not only do we want to make a statement that Art inspires and invokes change, but it sustains us, feeds us and builds us in need. Due to the overwhelming response in artists performing that night, we have a waiting list for all performers. We also asked the artists who are not able to go on the mic, to put their song, poem on paper, or record it on CD or tape and we will put all these artistic gifts along with the money we raised together and put in a basket and given to Sean Bell's family. The event is free, however, we will be taking suggested donations of any and all amounts. All donations will be given to Sean Bell's family. Please join us for an evening of community activism, education, leadership, and transformation-- ART, MUSIC, and POETRY!!! Thank you for working within community; thank you for being in action about making a difference; thank you for being who you are. You inspire us on a daily. ~We LOVE you with passion~ In community, peace and justice, Gabby, Erica, and Moana MAHINA MOVEMENT ___________________________________________ Sunday, April 20 5:00 pm Afro-Latino Cafe Join us on occasional Sundays for music and dance from some of the many Afro-Latino communities in the New York region.

Sliding scale: $6/$10/$15 Free for Brecht Forum Subscribers Thursday, May 15 7:30 pm 3rd THURSDAYS The Immigrant Gulag Death, Detention & the American Way Roberto Lovato, Jean Montrevil, Aarti Shahani & Others TBA The chilling front page report in the New York Times, May 5th, 2008, of the 66 people who died while under detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its private subcontractors detail a moral and political crisis- and one that will worsen without loud denunciation. More detainees have died while in custody of ICE than died in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo combined. Yet, the devaluation of the lives of immigrants, by politicians, media personalities and others, threatens to diminish the the neglect and violence they experience while in detention. Join our panel of human rights lawyers, activists and detainees as we investigate what?s happening inside America?s newest gulag, its immigrant prisons. Roberto Lovato is a writer on immigrant issues with The Nation, the Huffington Post, and other publications. Jean Montrevil, a Haitian national greencard holder who has been detained on several occasions, works with the Brooklyn-based immigrant rights organization Families for Freedom and is a founding member of the New York Sanctuary Coalition.

There is often a disjuncture between our political and intellectual engagement, and the challenges posed by jobs, families (or the lack thereof) and the demands of caring for children or elders, and anxieties about our own aging. How can we integrate our political and personal selves? How can social change movements encourage community, belonging, and an ethics of caring?

Exhibit panels provide an overview of the political, social and economic landscape during a particularly vibrant and contentious period in Detroit?s history. Special focus is devoted to the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement (DRUM) and the League of Revolutionary Black Workers. A highlight of the exhibit is a collection of oral history video clips. Visitors can select from over forty video segments of oral histories conducted with some of the leading participants in the Detroit's labor and community struggles around issues of racism, class division, de-industrialization and community development. The oral histories also link the history of segregation in the U.S. during World War II, the civil rights movement and the movement for social and economic justice in Detroit factories and neighborhoods in the 1960s and 1970s. The oral history portion of the project consists of videotaped interviews with key activists including: General Baker, founder and organizer of DRUM, Mike Hamlin, a founding member of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, Marian Kramer, community organizer and civil rights activist, Grace Lee Boggs, community activist and educator, and Jim Jacobs, former SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) leader and adult education specialist. The exhibit was created by Professor Bruce Pietrykowski together with graduate students in the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program and the UM-Dearborn Museum Studies internship program. In addition, Kae Halonen, Lecturer in History at UM-D, conducted the oral history interviews that were used in the exhibit. The exhibition has been made possible with grant support from the Michigan Humanities Council . * -- <<<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>> Bruce Pietrykowski, Ph.D. Professor of Economics Director, Urban and Regional Studies Program Department of Social Sciences University of Michigan-Dearborn Dearborn, MI 48128 Midwest Regional Director, Association for Social Economics Editorial Board Member, Review of Social Economy Editorial Board Member, Review of Radical Political Economics Editorial Board member, Journal of Transport History 313-593-9970 313-593-5096 From a.hermann at isae.it Tue May 20 04:48:38 2008 From: a.hermann at isae.it (arturo hermann) Date: Tue, 20 May 2008 12:48:38 +0200 Subject: [URPE] Abstract of the Book "Institutional Economics and Psychoanalysis" by Arturo Hermann Message-ID: <000b01c8ba67$0f7b8450$0b64a8c0@hermann2> ABSTRACT OF THE BOOK INSTITUTIONAL ECONOMICS AND PSYCHOANALYSIS: HOW CAN THEY COLLABORATE FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF INDIVIDUAL-SOCIETY DYNAMICS? by Arturo Hermann Published by UNI Service, Trento, Italy, December 2007, link www.uni-service.it/ The idea of carrying out this work stems from the observation that although institutional economics deals with the study of human actions and motivations in their historical evolution, there has been in many cases a lack of scientific collaboration with other fields of social and psychological sciences; in this regard, psychoanalysis is a case in point. In light of these problems, our work can be synthesized as follows: institutional economics, especially through Veblen's and Commons's contributions, has highlighted a number of aspects that provide a better understanding of the inner nature of social and economic relations. This has been realized through the elaboration of concepts which characterize, in their continual refining, the core of institutional economics: these include ceremonial/instrumental behaviour dichotomy, instincts, culture, evolution, habits, path-dependency, tacit knowledge, technology, collective action, going concerns, working rules and social valuing. In this regard, a systematic collaboration between institutional economics and psychoanalysis can help us to analyze the following interrelated issues: ? The evolutionary and conflicting nature of habits, routines, organizations, institutions and social valuing. ? The evolutionary and conflicting nature of individual and collective decision-making processes. ? The analysis of structural problems, in particular in developing countries, and the role of institutions and policies in economic and social reforms. This collaboration can greatly benefit from contributions provided by other disciplines as well. In this respect, the fact that institutional economics shares significant elements with important strands of social sciences and with pragmatist and cognitive psychology constitutes an enriching element that can contribute to a more fruitful collaboration between all these theories and psychoanalysis. * E-mail: a.hermann at libero.it -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The call for papers is below: Special Issue of the International Journal of Social Economics on "Radical Economics" There are two obvious senses of "radical" economics. Literally, the term implies searching for the roots of the subject and then attempting to create a new viewpoint from there. More ordinarily, perhaps, the term suggests a basic break with the orthodoxy of a given moment. For the purposes of this special issue, we are looking for papers, about economists and theories that are radical in both these senses. Some names come to mind at once: Proudhon and Marx, for instance. Proudhon remains interesting not least because he proposed an alternative to a money economy; something which might be possible given current powers of information storage and transfer and means of communication, which allow people to negotiate (at least in large groups) about what they want and what they are willing to do for it. The combination of state capitalism and political authoritarianism that came to be called Marxism-Leninism never had much to do with what Marx actually wrote. As a concept, it is now virtually dead. However, problems posed by the Marxists live on. The tendency to ever larger groupings of economic power and the persistence of "colonial economies", in which people produce for profitability of the developed world rather than for the purposes of consumption (whilst consuming what other countries send to them), are good examples. So 'Marxism today' and 'Proudhon today' are possible topics. Other names may be arguable and we are happy to look at such arguments. * Were L?on Walras (often compared to the Fabian socialists) and his (surprising) admirer Josef Schumpeter (who spoke of "creative destruction") radical economists? * Was John Kenneth Galbraith a radical? * Is perhaps John Maynard Keynes now to be considered a radical and not the centre of orthodoxy? (In our terms, von Hayek, once a radical, now seems near the centre of orthodoxy, so where does that leave Keynes?) Henry George has been appropriated for another special issue, but Gandhi may not have been exhausted by our special issue on India. Authors are free to make their own suggestions and also to write about just what radical economics might consist of in our times and about its prospects. The submission deadline for this special issue is 31 July 2008 but earlier submissions are welcomed. Manuscripts should be sent electronically by e-mail (in Word file format) to: The Publisher Adam Smith E-mail: asmith at emeraldinsight.com All papers will be reviewed in accordance with IJSEs normal review processes. Authors are asked to follow the International Journal of Social Economics' standard formatting requirements which can be viewed at: www.emeraldinsight.com/ijse.htm. Authors wishing to discuss their papers prior to submission should contact the Editor, Professor Armour (leslie.armour at collegedominicain.ca).

It is hard to think of a program, but as a second best, there is the = Centre for Philosophy and Political Economy ( = http://www.le.ac.uk/ulsm/research/cppe/ = ) in the Management School at = the University of Leicester. In issue 60 of the Newsletter, I mentioned about receiving a grant from = the Charles Leopold Mayer Foundation for the progress of Humankind ( = www.fph.ch ).

Heterodox Economics = Newsletter

www.heterodoxnews.com

 

Issue 63: June 12, = 2008

From the Editor

Over a month ago, I began having problems with my = e-mail lists. Since then, I have been working with the IT people here at UMKC = to solve the problems. It appears that my e-mail lists have grown too = large. Hence my lists have been converted into listservs—United States, = Canada, Latin America, United Kingdom/Ireland, Europe, and Other. The number = of subscribers to the listservs is over 3,000 and, since the subscribers = include some listservs, the number of people receiving the Newsletter is = probably on the order 3,500 or more. Hopefully this new format will solve the = problems. If any subscriber has not received a Newsletter over the past month or = so, go the archives at http://www.heterodoxnews.com&nb= sp; and check what you have missed.

In the last Newsletter, I requested information about where a person = could go to graduate school to study anarchist-environmental economics. I got = the following responses:

Contact Ignacy = Sachs, who is now retired from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences = Sociales in Paris. His email address: ignacy Sachs ( Ignacy.Sachs at ehess.fr= ) He is still very = active and knows a lot about Kropotkin and environmental = thinking.

University of = Massachussetts-Amherst: Professor James Boyce, Department of Economics—Boyce does his = research in environmental economics and is sympathetic to the general orientation = of anarchism. In addition, there are a lot of anarchist-green = thinkers/activists in the Amherst area to work with.

The best option = I can think is to go to Universidad Aut=F3noma de Barcelona (Barcelona, = Spain), and study under Joan Mart=EDnez Alier.

It is hard to = think of a program, but as a second best, there is the Centre for Philosophy and = Political Economy ( http://www.le.ac.uk/ulsm/res= earch/cppe/ ) in the Management = School at the University of Leicester.

In issue 60 of the Newsletter, I mentioned about receiving a grant = from the Charles Leopold Mayer Foundation for the progress of Humankind ( www.fph.ch ). It is to be used for = improving the Newsletter and its distribution and impact. In return, I have agreed = to produce and publish in the Newsletter reviews of books, articles, = chapters, dissertations, reports, etc. that bear on the themes of rethinking = trade regimes, rethinking the regulation of goods and services, the role of currency and finance, and diversity of economic approaches—for = further information about the themes, see the atta= chment. This can only be done with the help of colleagues with perhaps some honorariums thrown in on the side. What I need now are lists of = reading material and people who are interested in being reviews. So if you are interested in contributing to the Newsletter-FPH Project, please = contact me at leefs at umkc.edu. =

It will be an opportunity to exchange practical experiences for the construction of an alternative society. The forum will be an exchange of practices and knowledge?rational, technical, and ancestral?applicable to the processes of social self-organization and communitarian life. These practices use human, material, cultural, spiritual and natural resources from each locality. The highest form of social self-organization that we know so far is the autonomous municipality. Here, the resources and initiatives of a locality or of various localities are articulated for self-government and the development of economic activities and services that have normally been the service of the state?an institution that, up to this point, has not satisfied the needs of the population. For that reason, the autonomous municipality will deservedly be one of the Forum's themes. The World Forum of Applied Knowledge will work on the basis of simultaneous disciplinary congresses that will dedicated their efforts during one or two days to the creation of manuals for immediate realization in these areas of knowledge directed to communitarian activity of the residents of a locality. There will be one or two days of simultaneous congresses in different areas?fields that are normally directed by the academy and institutions oriented towards the market and the state. This Forum aspires to direct its functions toward the process of autonomous social self-organization and self-management: to construction today, not tomorrow, of an alternative society. Different topics can be seen in the attached flier; other areas of particular interest can be proposed as well. Later there will be a day for interdisciplinary meetings; for example, of alternative energy with engineering for self-management. Finally there will be a multidisciplinary meeting of reflection on the interaction of all the disciplines, aspects of life, and applied knowledge. Natural and nutritious food will be provided. Housing will be in a classroom; please bring a sleeping bag or solicit the list of hostels. As well, if you wish, you can stay and participate in the activities of a social collective in one of Valparaiso's hills. See our website for a flier for distribution and links to more information. http://foromundial.ulibre.org/home.html Signed, Scott, Enric, Jaime __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

(Note Time Change) Message-ID: <48590905.8030503@lists.econ.utah.edu> A People's President?: Obama and the Left Thursday, June 19 7:30 pm Ta-Nehisi Coates, Doug Henwood, Jo-Ann Mort, Betsy Reed, Gary Younge & Others TBA The Democratic Party may have unified behind Barack Obama's presidential bid, but the American left has not. Some progressives argue that we should largely silence our concerns about Obama's policy shortcomings, from Israel and Iraq to the economy and healthcare, at least until he gets elected. Others contend that his weakness on these and other issues is simply unforgiveable, and that the left should not be seen in such company. And yet a third group insists that though we should do so without illusions, critically supporting Barack's presidential bid opens opportunities for building progressive politics and perhaps even pulling the candidate in our direction. ...and if you don't leave either more confused or more outraged than you were before, we will have failed! Our customary panel of eloquent and erudite experts will cover the spectrum of left attitudes towards Obama. We can't promise to resolve the debate. But we hope to make the issues at stake a little clearer, while informing, and even entertaining, along the way. Refreshments will be served Panelists include: Ta-Nehisi Coates, author of The Beautiful Struggle and former staff writer for the Village Voice and Time magazine, Atlantic Monthly, Village Voice; Doug Henwood, Left Business Observer; Betsy Reed, The Nation; Gary Younge, The Guardian/The Nation; and others to be announced.

See the call for papers below for instructions. Please consider submitting a paper if you have an interesting exercise or topic that can help to advance heterodox teaching (broadly defined). Apologies for cross-postings. Kind regards, Geoff 12143FORUM FOR SOCIAL ECONOMICS CALL FOR PAPERS FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE ON TEACHING SOCIAL ECONOMICS Guest Editor: Geoffrey E. Schneider, Bucknell University Guest Associate Editors: Daniel A. Underwood, Peninsula College; Janet T. Knoedler, Bucknell University The Forum for Social Economics is seeking papers of various types related to Teaching Social Economics. Papers can be short (1000-2000 word) descriptions of classroom exercises or the application of particular pedagogies (e.g., service learning, active learning, web based interactive exercises) to teach social economics. Submissions can also be longer in depth articles (up to 7500 words) which explore a particular pedagogical issue, assess student learning outcomes, or teaching issues related to social economics. Articles should clearly stress a heterodox economic tradition (e.g., social economics, institutional economics, post-Keynesian economics, Marxian economics, Feminist economics, etc.) with an emphasis on how that tradition can advance economic education. Manuscript submissions should be sent in electronic form as an e-mail attachment in Microsoft Word format to Geoff Schneider (gschnedr at bucknell.edu). The deadline for manuscript submission is September 1, 2008. Articles must be in final form by December 31, 2008. Papers will pass a double-blind referee process supervised and subject to the final approval of John Marangos, Editor of the Forum for Social Economics. The Forum for Social Economics is an international journal, along with the Review of Social Economy, sponsored by the Association for Social Economics. For 35 years the Forum has published high quality peer-reviewed papers. The Forum is a pluralistic journal publishing work that addresses economic issues within wider ethical, cultural or natural environmental contexts, and is sympathetic to papers that transcend established disciplinary boundaries. The journal welcomes stimulating original articles that are clearly written and draw upon contemporary policy-related research. Preference is given to non-technical articles of topical and historical interest that will appeal to a wide range of readers. For this special issue, the journal is particularly interested in serving as an avenue for issues regarding teaching economics, in particular teaching approaches to social and heterodox economics. Instructions: Authors should place name, address, phone, fax, and e-mail address on a separate cover sheet and remove identifying information from the title page and body of the manuscript. They should also include an abstract of no more than 150 words and a brief biographical statement of no more than 125 words about each author should be supplied. In addition a list of up to 5 key words, suitable for indexing and abstracting services, should follow the abstract. Authors should not submit articles that have been previously published or that are under review for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should not exceed 7,500 words in length, including notes and references. Include the article and all tables and figures in the same electronic file.

Message-ID: <48756C01.7030203@lists.econ.utah.edu> Dear Friends, You can check out the summer Marxist intensive schedule and register online at www.brechtforum.org/intensive08. Look forward to seeing you there, Kazembe The Brecht Forum 451 West Street (Between Bank and Bethune) 212-242-4201 www.brechtforum.org Friday, July 11 9:00 am - 6:00 pm 3-DAY INTENSIVE INTRODUCTION TO MARXISM JULY 11-13 "Them belly full, but we hungry" The Global Food Crisis & What Capitalism Has To Do With It Teachers & Organizers include: Sam Anderson, Kazembe Balagun, Humberto Brown, Vivek Chibber, Lisa Maya Knauer, Roberto Lovato, Fred Magdoff, Randy Martin, Liz Mestres, Bertell Ollman, Merle Ratner, Heather Rogers, Cleo Silvers, Bill Tabb, Lincoln Van Sluytman, Rick Wolff & Others TBA As global warming, soaring food prices, war and racism wrack the planet, resistance movements from Nepal to the Niger Delta to Chiapas are linking the looming global crisis to one source: capitalism. But questions remain: Why is the most productive social system humanity has ever created also so destructive? What are the alternatives to capitalism? How do we get there from here? Using the global food crisis as a starting point, "Them Belly Full, But We Hungry" is a three-day introduction to marxism that seeks to unpack how capitalism works?to get behind surface appearances and see why capitalism must put profit before basic human needs. It will also examine the intersections of revolutionary movements and people's struggles against the ravages of capitalism and its three pillars, homophobia, racism, and sexism. The intensive is designed for workers, students, artists and activists who are interested in not only understanding the world, but changing it. Marx brought a dialectical approach to participating in social change. He recognized that an understanding of the world cannot come from passive contemplation alone, that active struggle is necessary. Yet he also insisted that analysis, critical reflection--learning from our own experience as well as those of others--and struggle to make our concepts and ways of seeing both clear and accessible are as important as political engagement in the streets. As Bob Marley?s song goes: "Them belly full, but we hungry? Now the weak must get strong" Friday July 11 9:00 ? 9:30 Registration 9:30 ? 11:00 Colonialism with Lincoln Van Sluytman 11:00 ? 1:00 Global Food Crisis with Fred Magdoff 1,00 ? 2:00 LUNCH 2:00 ? 4:00 Marx & Capital with Randy Martin 4:15 ? 6:00 Capitalism & Waste with Heather Rogers Saturday July 12 9:00 ? 10:30 Workshop with Bertell Ollman 11:00 ? 1:00 Globalization with Bill Tabb 1:00 ? 2:00 LUNCH 2:00 ? 4:00 Women and the Food Crisis with Lisa Maya Knauer 4:00 ? 6:00 Race Today with Sam Anderson, Humberto Brown & Cleo Silvers Sunday July 13 9:00 ? 11:00 Credit & Finance Capital with Rick Wolff ((Advance Reading) 11:00 ? 1:00 Capital & Class with Vivek Chibber 1:00 ? 2:00 LUNCH 2:00 ? 4:00 Is the Bronx Still Burning? with John Kim, Rachel Lineart & Terry Marshall 4:00 ? 6:00 Evaluation & Graduation Sliding scale: $75-$125 Free for Brecht Forum Subscribers -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

A touch of the finger and you get the juiciest, meatiest information and analysis, so rich a feast of intelligence and insight I often feel short of breath.? ? Howard Zinn FROM AMERICA'S MOST INFLUENTIAL POLITICAL BLOG, A GRAND SURVEY OF THE WORLD SINCE 9/11. Tomdispatch.com has rapidly established itself as the go-to blog for contemporary US politics, and is the favored web platform for a range of radical commentators, from Noam Chomsky to Howard Zinn. Its powerful, no-holds-barred features draw a huge response from the public and resonate throughout the global media, acting as a touchpaper for debates which subsequently become headline news. This comprehensive volume offers readers a chance to catch up on some of the finest political analysis of our age, including trenchant accounts of the two Bush administrations; catastrophic imperial adventures in Afghanistan and Iraq; Guant?namo, extraordinary rendition and its apologists; and Hurricane Katrina, global warming, black gold and the rise of Hugo Ch?vez. Introduced, arranged and with additional commentary throughout by the blog?s founder Tom Engelhardt, The World According to Tomdispatch is the essential primer for anyone seeking illumination and guidance along the highways and byways of our post-9/11 world.

In fact, we've made it even easier with our new order form. Just go to http://www.dollarsandsense.org/examcopies.html and send us your order. For this Fall we have new editions of Real World Macro (25th ed), Real World Micro (15th ed), and Introduction to Political Economy (5th ed) featuring a new chapter on the Mondragon Cooperative. If you haven't seen our books in a while you should check out the latest editions of the Wealth Inequality Reader (2nd ed), Real World Banking (5th ed), and Real World Globalization (9th ed), as well as our other titles. We are also pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of a new reader we are producing in association with NACLA Report on the Americas: Real World Latin America. This exciting new reader features the most current progressive reporting on major economic, political, and social trends in Latin America. Please order through our website http://www.dollarsandsense.org/examcopies.html or contact me with any questions. Sincerely, Dan -- Daniel Fireside Book Editor Dollars & Sense 29 Winter Street Boston, MA 02108 (617) 447-2177 x 202 "As textbooks become more conservative and less topical, I find that Dollars & Sense readers are more useful than ever in my undergraduate classes. They are jargon-free, up-to-date, and inexpensive - as well as consistently and thoughtfully progressive. I recommend them very highly." - Robin Hahnel, American University. "The principles of economics books (yes, even mine) tend to be on the dull side and leave aspects of the economy and economics unchallenged. Real World Micro and Macro can spice up your course and lead students to ask the type of questions they should be asking." - David Colander, Middlebury College. You received this email because you have ordered books from Dollars & Sense in the past. We send out announcements about our new books several times a year and will not sell or rent your name.

The unemployment rate has leapt to over 18 percent among all US teenagers and to one-third of African American teens, and it?s also now in double digits for 20-to-24-year olds. Coupled with stagnant wages and rising prices on everything from food and fuel to higher education and health care, American youth now have the weakest employment situation in a half century ? at the very moment when many families need all the help they can get to keep afloat. Forgive this shameless self-promotion, but I?ve edited a new book: YOUNG WORKERS IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY: JOB CHALLENGES IN NORTH AMERICA, EUROPE AND JAPAN, ed. by Gregory DeFreitas (published by Edward Elgar) Our international group of economists and sociologists tried to provide non-technical introductions to the tough challenges now facing youth in the US and other advanced economies and to important differences in the ways that other countries have coped with them. In doing so, we also suggest a number of promising policies and strategies to improve young people?s economic futures. And we think that the book adds something of interest on a host of controversial topics, including: youth unemployment, earnings mobility, racial/ethnic and gender inequalities, training quality and access, job hazards, health insurance coverage, immigration, minimum wage laws, union organizing, and global economic competition. If it sounds interesting to you, please order copies for your university library and consider it for your classes. More info is available on the publisher?s website: http://www.e-elgar.com/bookentry_mainUS.lasso?id=12832 Your reactions to reading the book are also most welcome.

Jacoby, Professor of Management, Public Policy, & History, UCLA Join us for the fifth annual Robert Heilbroner Memorial Lecture. Heilbroner wrote, "Capitalism's uniqueness in history lies in its continuously self-generated change, but it is this very dynamism that is the systems chief enemy." It is in appreciation of what he identified as the deep human need to be situated with respect to the future that The New School sponsors a lecture series in Heilbroners memory that focuses on capitalism's future. This year we will host Sanford Jacoby, Howard Noble Professor of Management at UCLA Anderson School of Management. His address is Finance and Labor: Perspectives on Risk, Inequality, and Democracy which refers to Polyanis notion of a double movement and the link between financial development and rising income inequality and employment risk. Professor Jacoby is an historian and economist. *The talk will be followed by a panel discussion. Panelists are: Charles Jeszeck, Government Accountability Office Mark Levinson, Chief Economist and Director of Policy, Unite-Here Peter Rappoport, JPMorgan, Research Analyst A copy of the paper can be accessed at http://www.newschool.edu/cepa/events/papers/NewSchoolJacoby.pdf *Disclaimer: The opinions expressed by our panelists are their own opinions and do not represent the views of their employers in any way. RSVP Required to cepa at newschool.edu or 212.229.5901 x4911 This event is sponsored by The Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis (SCEPA) at The New School.

The Union for Radical Political Economics is doing well. It is a well-respected organization, both nationally and internationally. It has an excellent journal, a popular speaker/resource bureau, and its conferences are well attended, and its finances are stable. The organization is extremely fortunate in benefiting from the work of its two staff members, Hazel Dayton Gunn (Managing Editor of the RRPE) and the recently hired Pat Duffy (National Office Manager.) The members of its two elected bodies, the Steering Committee which is responsible for the organization as a whole, and the Editorial Board of the RRPE which is responsible for the organization's journal, carry out their unpaid and time-consuming tasks well. BUT... the environment within which URPE exists has changed dramatically from its founding year of 1968, and continues to change. In order to fulfill the goals of its members, URPE must continually reassess its work, and it is easier to do this when things are going well than in a time of crisis. The Steering Committee is therefore calling on all URPE members to participate in a discussion of URPE's future. URPE members (and non-members who wish to participate) are therefore asked to contribute to this discussion. The Steering Committee suggests a set of categories that may be useful as a way of organizing their ideas on this topic: . Strengths - what are the strengths of the organization that we can build on? . Weaknesses - what are our main weaknesses? . Opportunities - looking ahead, what are the ways in which URPE could expand on its current work, draw in new members, or take on new tasks? . Threats - what can we anticipate as dangers to the organization and its ability to carry out its goals? All members of URPE are encouraged to share their ideas before the Summer Conference by writing to the National Office (urpe at igc.org Subject: Future of URPE.) This input will be printed out for distribution to those attending the summer Conference. (Please keep word length reasonable!) The preliminary discussion at the Conference will be followed by a systematic search for input from all URPE members, and a summary will be printed in the Newsletter and distributed on the URPE listserv. PLEASE PARTICIPATE IN THIS DISCUSSION ON THE FUTURE OF OUR ORGANIZATION. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Sunday, August 03 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm SEMINAR Psychology & Economics A Marxian Perspective - Part 2 Harriet Fraad & Richard Wolff The personal contradictions and intimate lives of individuals both reflect and shape the economy in which we live. Psychology and economics are interdependent. Capitalism's hard times provoke or worsen personal psychological problems. Yet, US capitalism's endurance also reflects deep psychological needs and coping mechanisms. Building on Fraad & Wolff's highly-successful seminar held last February, this intensive two-hour colloquium will explore and discuss how Americans' economic and psychological problems interact today. Our goal is to help build a left program that responds effectively to the economic and psychological needs of our time. Dr. Harriet Fraad is a practicing psychotherapist-hypnotherapist in Manhattan Richard Wolff is a Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts, Amherst. They are co-authors with Steven Resnick of Bringing It All Back Home: Power, Gender, and Class in the Modern Household.

As any member can under "new business," she will be proposing that at the business meeting this year. She will be there (with Jenna and Germai, as last year) at the business meeting to do so. I suggested to her that she write up a note to URPE members so they would not be hit cold by the idea at the meeting, so they could have some time to think about it, and we would send it out on the listserve. If any of you have any questions you want to ask her before the Business Meeting, she would be happy to explain anything - her email is below. See you at the Summer Conference, Al -----Original Message----- From: Julie A. Matthaei [mailto:jmatthaei at wellesley.edu] Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2008 7:26 PM ----- Original Message ----- Dear URPERs, We are writing to propose that URPE vote at our summer conference this month to join the U.S. Solidarity Economy Network (USSEN, www.ussen.org). We believe that URPE and U.S. SEN are natural allies who share the same mission - of building a more just, sustainable, and democratic economy - and that both would benefit from this connection. Al Campbell suggested that we float the idea on Pen'l first, to give URPERS a chance to think about it in advance of the meeting. U.S. SEN was formed at the first-ever U.S. Social Forum, which occurred last summer in Atlanta. A group of us -- including Julie, Emily Kawano of the Center for Popular Economics, Ethan Miller and Jessica Gordon Nembhard of Grassroots Economic Organizing, Melissa Hoover of the U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives, and Dan Swinney of the Center for Labor and Community Research - put together a set of panels for the USSF on "Building Economic Alternatives and the Social/Solidarity Economy," as well as organized caucus meetings for participants. At the caucus meetings, we heard from leaders of vibrant solidarity economy networks in Canada, Mexico, and Peru; and we unanimously voted to create a solidarity economy network in the U.S. Papers and reports from the workshops, as well as an overview of solidarity economy organizing, were published in March 2008 by ChangeMaker Publishing in a book, SOLIDARITY ECONOMY: BUILDING ECONOMIC ALTERNATIVES FOR PEOPLE AND PLANET (available at [ http://www.lulu.com/changemaker ]www.lulu.com/changemaker in paper and e forms; contact us if you are interested in an examination copy). We are now in the midst of the important work of building our network, and planning for our first conference in March of 2009 at U-Mass. Amherst. Both individuals and organizations can join U.S. SEN, and we are also actively recruiting progressive academics, especially economists, into our network, since they can play a crucial role in researching and educating about the solidarity economy. Since the solidarity economy framework is still relatively unknown in the U.S., we will note some of its key aspects here (see www.ussen.org or transformationcentral.org for more information). Solidarity economy organizing provides the type of "middle-run," transformative economic organizing which Wallerstein advocates in his recent MONTHLY REVIEW article (June 2008). The solidarity economy framework emphasizes our relationships to other people and to our environment, and inserts solidaritous values into these relationships. Solidaritous values are cooperative, egalitarian, democratic, locally based, and sustainable. Solidarity economy praxis strives for an economy based on human needs rather than an insatiable drive for profit. The ultimate aim of the solidarity economy is the breakdown of oppressive economic hierarchies of all types, the development of human potential, and the preservation of our communities and environment. There are four distinct aspects to the interconnected and organic whole that is being conceptualized as "the solidarity economy" by a growing international movement of activists and academics. It is a collection of existing economic practices; a growing network of people and organizations engaged in these practices; a developing local and global movement that informs and advocates for these practices; and a theoretical framework for understanding and analyzing these practices. It can be a way of scaling up initiatives that work, of transcending political boundaries, and of challenging neoliberalism. Solidarity economy practices and institutions are widespread in the contemporary U.S. Ignored or devalued by mainstream economists, these practices have the potential of building "another economy" block by block. Many are participating in them daily, be it by buying fair trade products, expressing their values through their work, or investing in a socially responsible way. Others are involved in collective solidarity economy efforts such as high road businesses, community economic development projects, localization projects, and many others. The next step, as we see it from our studies of other countries, is to visibilize and reconceptualize solidarity economy practices and institutions as part of an emergent new economic system, create supportive links among them, and build a movement to advocate for public policies to support them. We hope to receive URPE's enthusiastic support for our proposal, and we encourage individual URPERs to join U.S. SEN as well. If you have questions, feel free to email both Julie at [ mailto:jmatthaei at wellesley.edu ]jmatthaei at wellesley.edu and Jenna at [ mailto:allard.jenna at gmail.com ]allard.jenna at gmail.com, and one of us will get back to you ASAP.

From gschnedr at bucknell.edu Fri Aug 8 15:35:29 2008 From: gschnedr at bucknell.edu (gschnedr at bucknell.edu) Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2008 17:35:29 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [URPE] AFIT Call for papers Message-ID: <007d01c8f99e$b1569690$5f235286@bucknell.edu> Dear Colleagues: You may be interested in the call for papers that is attached. AFIT accepts paper proposals by heterodox economists of any stripe, so I encourage URPE members to consider submitting a proposal. AFIT also welcomes papers on pedagogy, and papers by graduate students. Cheers, Geoff Schneider Bucknell University The Association for Institutional Thought's (AFIT) annual meeting will be held April 15-18 in Albuquerque New Mexico. For those unfamiliar with AFIT, the annual meeting provides a relaxed atmosphere to interact with colleagues, share research, and pursue new ideas. This collegial environment affords an excellent opportunity for those interested in, but less familiar with, Institutional economics to learn more. Likewise, graduate students can share their work and receive critical and thoughtful feedback from established scholars. Albuquerque is a delightful city, and for those of us from northern climates, affords an early opportunity to experience spring. While the collegiality, warm weather, and delicious cuisine are reason enough to attend the conference, this year's meeting offers an additional incentive: it will be AFIT's 30th anniversary! Appropriately, we will be hearing from some of our founding members; about their long term experiences with AFIT, the legacy of Institutional economics, and the viability of its intellectual traditions as we move forward as an association. I look forward to receiving your proposed papers, panels, and willingness to serve as session chairs or discussants. Equally important will be meeting, talking, and learning from you at AFIT 09. Respectfully, Daniel A. Underwood Vice President Association for Institutional Thought http://afit.cba.nau.edu/Images/AFIT_puzzle_logo3.gifAssociation for Institutional Thought [AFIT] 2009 CALL FOR PAPERS The annual meeting and 30th anniversary of AFIT will be held April 15-18, 2009 Albuquerque, New Mexico Hyatt Regency, Downtown In conjunction with the Western Social Science Association (WSSA) 51st Annual Conference Theme for the 2009 Conference: Economics When People Matter Institutionalism distinguishes itself from mainstream economics through its emphasis on people and the role that culture and institutions play in bettering the human condition. As the advancement of human welfare and its distributive implications are seen as an objective of economic inquiry by Institutionalists, this year's AFIT theme focuses on what economics - the questions asked, the modes of analysis employed, and the policies advocated - looks like when "people matter." Papers and panels that explore such topics as Fiscal and Monetary Policy When People Matter; Labor Economics When People Matter; Distribution When People Matter, Welfare Reform When People Matter, Resolving the Home Loan Crisis When People Matter, Environmental Economics When People Matter, etc. are encouraged. In addition to the above topics, AFIT welcomes papers reflecting the tradition and analytical perspective of Institutional economics and applications of Institutional analysis to current policy issues. Cooperative and integrative modes of analysis and policy application between Institutionalists and economists working from alternative paradigms are especially encouraged. Submissions from economists of other heterodox schools of thought are also welcome. AFIT encourages proposals from graduate students, and it is anticipated that at least one and possibly more panels of graduate student papers will be included in the program this year. In addition, AFIT will continue to sponsor prizes for outstanding student papers. A formal announcement of this year's competition is forthcoming. AFIT will continue the tradition of having one or more roundtables that explores ideas, experiences, and materials to advance economic education, from Institutional and other heterodox perspectives. Participants in these roundtables are encouraged to submit their materials for posting on the AFIT web site. Past contributions can be found at http://www.orgs.bucknell.edu/afee/afit/teaching_institutionalism.htm Anyone interested in attending the AFIT Conference or in finding out more about the organization may visit the AFIT web site at http://www.orgs.bucknell.edu/afee/afit/. Conference registration information can be found at the WSSA web site http://wssa.asu.edu. You must be a member of AFIT to present a paper at the conference. Annual dues are $25.

We offer the most comprehensive and diverse range of humanities and social sciences in the Asia Pacific and it is in this spirit that we have created our newest school, the School of Social and Political Sciences (SSPS). SSPS is experiencing exciting growth and change during its first year of existence; attracting high-calibre students to innovative social science courses as we build our capability and employ new talent to drive the School and Faculty forward. SSPS's Department of Political Economy is devoted to fostering a critical perspective on the content and evolution of economic theories such as Marxian, classical, neoclassical, Keynesian, post-Keynesian, institutional and feminist economics. There is also a strong focus on analysis of the social foundations of economic activity, globalisation, economic development, class, gender and economic policy. We are currently seeking an experienced Lecturer in Political Economy to join our groundbreaking School and contribute high-quality teaching and research abilities to our dynamic environment. Along with an expertise in economic theory and policy, you will bring with you an established track record of high-quality research publications and clear potential for future international and national journal publications. You will be a highly-valued asset to our rapidly growing institution; providing effective teaching, contributing to curriculum development and seeking new links to other social sciences. This role will require you to hold a PhD or equivalent in Political Economy, Economics or a closely related field, and ideally administrative skills or prior experience in thesis or dissertation supervision. This is an unprecedented juncture in our development; today's ideas become tomorrow's actions and academics come together to foster interdepartmental initiatives in teaching and research across the full spectrum of social sciences. The School combines the following departments: Anthropology; Government and International Relations; Peace and Conflict Studies; Political Economy; and Sociology and Social Policy. This position is full-time continuing, subject to the completion of a satisfactory probation period for new appointees. Membership of a University approved superannuation scheme is a condition of employment for new appointees. Remuneration package: $86,731 - $102,993 p.a.

Very unexpectedly we have an opening we need to fill quickly for a one-year position teaching undergraduate economics and management courses, starting this month, August, 2008, and running through May, 2009. The must-have core parts of this position are two fall courses: principles of macro and a "global business" management course which is normally taught here in a heterodox political economy approach. So this opening may be relevant to some readers of the URPE list. The total nominal load for the year is five semester-long courses (that is 20 credit hours at 4 credit hours per semester course, but we break some things into 2 credit modules). We would consider someone who only wants to come for fall. Full details below. Thanks, Steve Burks ********************************** Position Announcement: Temporary Position in Economics/Management A one-year temporary position in Economics and Management will be open for an ?emergency hire? at the University of Minnesota-Morris, beginning in August 18, 2008, due to unexpected circumstances. Hiring will be at the Lecturer level (Ph.D. required) or at the Teaching Specialist level (A.B.D. preferred, M.A. required), and the course load is 5 classes per year (20 credits). The person holding this position is currently scheduled to teach the following courses Fall, 2008: (1) Principles of Macro, 4 credits, expected max of 45 students (2) Transnational Enterprise, 2 credits, expected max of 30 students (runs the second half of the semester only) (3) Senior Research Seminar, 2 credits, expected max of 6 students (research supervision stretches over the whole year although the course is registered only in the fall) Spring, 2009: (4) Principles of Macro, 4 credits, expected max of 45 students (5) Elective course in the management curriculum (preferably in financial mgmt, but other options are possible), 4 credits, expected max of 30 students (6) Elective course in the management curriculum, 4 credits, expected max of 30 students NOTE #1: the fall section of Principles of Macro and the Transnational Enterprise course are the two courses that we must have; the rest is potentially adjustable depending on the background of the candidate, especially for someone with an interest in being here all year. NOTE #2: we would prefer to hire one person who can fill this entire position, more or less as it stands. However, we are still interested in hearing from people who could potentially only help us out on (1) and (3) for fall, 2008, since we may have to cover these courses using several partial hires. Please contact Dr. Stephen Burks at: svburks at morris.umn.edu, or 320-589-6191, Fax: 320-589-6117. A short statement of interest and qualifications, and a current CV, are suggested. Background: The University of Minnesota, Morris is a public undergraduate liberal arts college with a highly selective student body of more than 1800 students with 120 faculty members. Ranked in the top ten nationally in its category by U.S. News & World Reports, UMM is located 160 miles WNW of Minneapolis in a small (population 5,000) rural community. Some advantages of the position: small college life-style coupled with access to the University of Minnesota?s research support, libraries and information technology; excellent students and a ?hands-on? craft-oriented teaching tradition, and generous fringe benefits. Our student body is diverse (16% students of color) and superior (63% earning an ACT comprehensive score of 25 or higher and 45% drawn from the top 10% of their high school classes). Members of our faculty have received 31 of the University system?s highest teaching awards, and are very active in research, publication and artistic production.

From urpe-moderator at lists.econ.utah.edu Thu Aug 21 19:47:39 2008 From: urpe-moderator at lists.econ.utah.edu (urpe-moderator at lists.econ.utah.edu) Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:47:39 -0400 Subject: [URPE] book announcement: International Political Economy: Contrasting World Views by Raymond C. Miller Message-ID: <48AE1ABB.2040507@lists.econ.utah.edu> Dear URPE listserve participants, I wanted to announce a new textbook that will be coming out soon: International Political Economy: Contrasting World Views by Raymond C. Miller. Earlier drafts were used in the IPE course at San Francisco State University and students found them engaging and substantial. I served as TA for Professor Miller on two occasions. Here's information about the book: http://www.routledgeeconomics.com/books/International-Political-Economy-isbn9780415384094 About the book: This textbook is the perfect short introduction to the fundamental theories and issues of international political economy (IPE). Written in a concise and accessible style, the text equips students with the necessary skills and knowledge to understand this complex and fascinating area. Engaging with both classical theories and the main contemporary debates, this is the ideal starting point for the study of IPE. The text introduces students to the three main theoretical approaches in IPE: free market, institutionalist and historical materialist. The strengths and weaknesses of the theories are then illustrated by a series of fascinating applied case studies in such core areas as international trade, finance, transnational corporations, development and the environment. Combining clear historical and theoretical explanation with detailed empirical examples this is essential reading for students of international political economy, global governance and international economics. Table of Contents: 1. The Field of Study Known as 'IPE' 2. The Market Model and World View 3. Market Applications 4. The Multi-Centric Organizational (MCO) World View 5. The MCO World View ? Critical Applications 6. The Classical Marxist Model and World View 7. Contemporary Applications of Marxist Analysis 8. Clashing Views on Central Issues: A Summation About the author: Raymond C. Miller has been national president of two professional associations: the Association for Integrative Studies and the Society for International Development. He was founding editor of Issues in Integrative Studies. Professor Miller served as a member of the faculty at San Francisco State University for 43 years, where he is now Professor Emeritus of International Relations and Social Science.

It presents Marxian insights using a model structure, so it has more graphs and equations than most introductory political economy books. I like that because I disagree with some students' presumption that only neoclassical economics is "hard".

Since some of the replies came only to me, I am taking the liberty of posting the compiled list of all the suggestions. The list includes textbooks as well as books from which select portions may be drawn. Here they are in no particular order (except for #1 which was the most frequently mentioned book). I also support the idea of reinstating and making easily available, the URPE reader which will compile books as well as syllabi. Books recommended for an Intro to PE class by members of the URPE listserv (compiled by Amit Basole, August 24th, 2008) 1. Most frequently recommended: Samuel Bowles, Richard Edwards, and Frank Roosevelt, Understanding Capitalism: Competition, Command, and Change, Third Edition (New York: Oxford University Press, 2005).

I can?t resist mentioning the remarkable passage on p. 530 re some of the alleged shortcomings of Marx?s analysis of capitalism. We read about Marx?s underestimation of the ability of capitalism ?to address some of the most serious threats to its continuation. Among these was the remarkable ability of [some capitalist countries] to redress some of the inequalities between capitalists and workers...[and] its ability to counteract the financial and other economic crises that Marx saw as the most likely causes of capitalism?s demise.? The latest edition of the book is dated 2005. That it contains virtually nothing on the financialization of capitalism is to my mind stunning.

Professor Howard J. Sherman Department of Political Science University of California Los Angeles, California 90095-1472 From HancockP at greenmtn.edu Fri Aug 22 10:47:14 2008 From: HancockP at greenmtn.edu (Paul Hancock) Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 12:47:14 -0400 Subject: [URPE] Book suggestions for Intro to PE course References: <1219075694.48a99e6e5a11f@mail-www.oit.umass.edu> <082220081443.26203.48AED0A1000610B30000665B22193100029B0A02D29B9B0EBF00000401A9BBAD@att.net> Message-ID: Here are some books that should be considered as source material for such a course. I have used the Sackrey and Schneider book (Dollars and Sense) while supplementing it with numerous chapters and articles from other texts and journals. For an historical perspective on the development of radical political economic thought, I would recommend David M. Gordon's Problems of Political Economy: An Urban Perspective (1977). More recent (but still dated) contributions could come from Baiman, Boushey and Saunders' Political Economy and Contemporary Capitalism (2000) and Andrew Sayer's Radical Political Economy: A Critique (1995). Lastly, an invaluable addition to a critique of contemporary economic thought is Stephen A. Marglin's The Dismal Science: How Thinking Like an Economist Undermines Community (2008). In other words, there is no single text that serves well a course in introductory political economics. To promote this exchange which seems to take place every year, we should resurrect the URPE Reader which included syllabi and lists of books and articles categorized by topic. I found it invaluable for many years.

The curious thing about those statements is that = in 1991 Charles Barone wrote a very interesting article (click here) = about the teaching of heterodox economics within the undergraduate major = in economics at Dickinson College-and his definition of heterodox = economics was very clear and pretty much the same as it is today. And no = one made the comment at the time that Barone and his heterodox = colleagues should be being more mainstream-like and hence should not be = doing this. Perhaps the statements is really an attempt to deflect = heterodox economists from the fact that heterodox economics is a = well-defined term and that it is emerging as a well-established = alternative to mainstream economics.=20 On a different topic, in the FYI section there is an entry on the Milton = Friedman Institute. The controversy that has arisen over its proposed = establishment at the University of Chicago poses a number of hard = questions to heterodox economists-one being if in opposing the = establishment of the Institute is a heterodox economist suppressing free = inquiry and acting anti-pluralistic.

Heterodox Economics = Newsletter

www.heterodoxnews.com

Issue 67: August  28, = 2008

 

From the Editor

I often get comments saying that the term = ‘heterodox economics’ is very unclear; and I have also gotten comments saying = that heterodox economists should really stop trying to be so heterodox and = should become more mainstream. The curious thing about those statements is that = in 1991 Charles Barone wrote a very interesting article (click here) about = the teaching of heterodox economics within the undergraduate major in = economics at Dickinson College—and his definition of heterodox economics was = very clear and pretty much the same as it is today. And no one made the comment at the = time that Barone and his heterodox colleagues should be being more = mainstream-like and hence should not be doing this. Perhaps the statements is really an = attempt to deflect heterodox economists from the fact that heterodox economics = is a well-defined term and that it is emerging as a well-established = alternative to mainstream economics.

On a different topic, in the FYI section there is an entry on the Milton Friedman Institute. The controversy that has arisen over its proposed establishment at the University of Chicago poses a number of hard = questions to heterodox economists—one being if in opposing the establishment of = the Institute is a heterodox economist suppressing free inquiry and acting anti-pluralistic. Answers to this question and others are not so obvious = once the social-intellectual context vis-=E0-vis the academy, academic = diversity, and the economics profession are taken into account. I do urge heterodox = economists to become aware of the issues being raise, debate them with other = heterodox (and mainstream) economists, and if so moved become involved in the = controversy in the manner that you think is best.

Finally, a few short notes. First, I received the following noted from = the Japan Society of Political Economy concerning its 56th Annual = Conference:

The JSPE -- the Japan Society of Political = Economy -- previously submitted the Call for Papers for our 56th Annual Conference, 2008, held = at Kyushu University, Japan. However, we showed a wrong e-mail address for = the application on our JSPE website in error. There is probability that some applications did not reach us. So, we would like to ask the applicants = who sent the proposal but not received any contact from us to send their = applications again at the following correct e-mail address: jspecice at jspe.gr.jp

We are very sorry for this inconvenience, but we = look forward to seeing you at our 56th Annual Conference in beautiful Kyushu = Island, Japan. Thank you very much for you in advance.

In the opening few chapters the book delineates the distinction between economics and political economy as well as citing Hunt, among other notables such as Heilbroner, for his definition of ideology as well as some of his work on feudalism from Property and Prophets. In any event, the book is nicely organized and has a strong economic history and history of thought component.

Jacoby, Professor of Management, Public Policy, & History, UCLA Join us for the fifth annual Robert Heilbroner Memorial Lecture. Heilbroner wrote, "Capitalism's uniqueness in history lies in its continuously self-generated change, but it is this very dynamism that is the systems chief enemy." It is in appreciation of what he identified as the deep human need to be situated with respect to the future that The New School sponsors a lecture series in Heilbroners memory that focuses on capitalism's future. This year we will host Sanford Jacoby, Howard Noble Professor of Management at UCLA Anderson School of Management. His address is Finance and Labor: Perspectives on Risk, Inequality, and Democracy which refers to Polyanis notion of a double movement and the link between financial development and rising income inequality and employment risk. Professor Jacoby is an historian and economist. *The talk will be followed by a panel discussion. Panelists are: Charles Jeszeck, Government Accountability Office Mark Levinson, Chief Economist and Director of Policy, Unite-Here Peter Rappoport, JPMorgan, Research Analyst A copy of the paper can be accessed at http://www.newschool.edu/cepa/events/papers/NewSchoolJacoby.pdf *Disclaimer: The opinions expressed by our panelists are their own opinions and do not represent the views of their employers in any way.

Unfortunately these three are often mixed up and confused in an "heterodox view" that represents a kind of fruit salad including bananas, jalape?o, tomatoes, and cream. My feeling is that it is intellectuality more fruitful to have these three clearly separated and to provide students with tools to get familiarized with them, directly in their sources. These have to be necessarily brief texts. This can be accomplished as follows: For Marxian economic theory, two short papers by Marx: *** "Wage Labour and Capital" () and *** "Value, Price and Profit" ( or an abbreviated version in ). For Keynesian economic theory, since Keynes's "General Theory" produces headache to a majority of readers, a good substitute is Michael Polanyi's summary of it in his very short book (150-pages with a lot of schemes and graphs) titled "Full employment and free trade". It was published by Cambridge University Press in 1945 and can be found in libraries or second hand by as less as 7 dollars. At any rate, this is a book not subjected to copyright, it is already in the public domain and can be copied ad libitum. As an introduction to ecological economics: *** Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen's "Energy and Economic Myths" (Southern Economic Journal 41, no. 3, 1975) (, and *** "The Evolution of Georgescu-Roegen's Bioeconomics" by Gowdy and Mesner (Review of Social Economy Vol. LVI, No. 2, 1998). () I believe that social science is one and borders between disciplines are a historical heritage and a consequence of the presence of a lot of non-scientific material (much phlogiston is to be found in social science yet). In this spirit I once wrote a brief "Economics, demography, and epidemiology: an interdisciplinary glossary" (Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health 2003;57:929-935) which is very simple and basic (). Some people think epidemiology has something to do with the skin, but it is not the case. -- Jos? A.

Through interviews and on-the-spot reporting from both impoverished communities abroad and American immigrant workplaces and neighborhoods, Bacon shows how the United States' trade and economic policy abroad, in seeking to create a favorable investment climate for large corporations, creates conditions to displace communities and set migration into motion. Trade policy and immigration are intimately linked, Bacon argues, and are, in fact, elements of a single economic system.

In Bury the Chains, Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free an Empire's Slaves, author Adam Hochschild relates how that version of history ignores the crucial role of slave rebellions in the Caribbean and the story, in Britain, of the world's first grassroots human rights campaign. In 1787, twelve men gathered in a London bookstore and printing shop to pursue the daunting goal of ending slavery in the largest empire on earth. Using innovative methods such as petitions, lapel buttons, and eyewitness accounts by former slaves and a repentant former slave-ship captain, the group pioneered many of the tools that activists still rely on. Within five years, more than 300,000 Britons, mostly women, were refusing to buy slave-produced sugar from the Caribbean. By 1838, a quarter century before the end of slavery in the U.S., they succeeded in bringing slavery in the British Empire to an end--a feat that would have seemed as unlikely in eighteenth-century England as banning automobiles does today. Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold's Ghost and other books, has written for the New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, the New York Review of Books, the New York Times Magazine, the Nation, and other publications. He also co-founded the magazine Mother Jones. He teaches narrative writing at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California at Berkeley. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Accelerating job losses and low wages aggravate the lives of tens of millions of families. In the rush to focus on Wall Street, these are the families whose lives must not be forgotten. These are the working people who need attention and help from a new stimulus package as well as structural economic reforms. This study focuses on the needs of these economically distressed workers and proposes economic policies that will improve their lives while strengthening the overall economy.

Then when a draft is written it will be sent around for comments or for signing by individuals. **************************************************************** Dear URPE folks: In 1971 at the summer conference, URPE put out an "official" statement on the "crisis" that led Nixon to float the dollar --- We're a much larger group and such a consensus is probably impossible -- However, I think there are certain principals we all would agree upon in OPPOSITION to the DLC/Republican establishment bailout that happily just went down to defeat. It is shameful that it was right-wing troglodyte (sp?) Republicans who scuttled this bill leaving only 95 democrats to support the DeFazio alternative ... BUT that alternative backed by him and others should be the basis of a true NEW DEAL type proposal... Of course it would not be a truly radical proposal -- but in the context of the 1930s, the NEW DEAL was pretty radical and in my view, the Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush reactionary high tide has been a disaster for ordinary and particularly working people in this country for the past 30 years -- I date it from Carter in 1978 ... A return to certain Social Democratic Principles would be a great first step towards re-invigorating the American left -- We need to be speaking loudly and clearly in opposition to the bailout as currently constituted and IN FAVOR of strong expenditures to support employment ...
