While many standard economists would argue that an increase in the intensity of compe-tition brings forth superior social outcomes, only few of them have noted that their ownfield - academic economics - exhibits tendencies running contrary to this claim. Whileit has not gone unnoticed that the conjoined forces of ’publish or perish’ and a highlystratified academic culture in economics continuously intensify competitive pressures (anissue also addressed in my last editorial4 ), the effects of this increase in competitivepressure have only rarely been studied systemically.

Luckily, a fine paper by Sarah Necker5 addresses this shortcoming and provides a firstand preliminary glimpse on the coping strategies developed in academic economics. Hereis a selective quote summarizing her findings:

”About one fifth admits to having refrained from citing others’ work that contradicted theown analysis [...]. Even more admit to questionable practices of data analysis (32–38%),e.g., the ’selective presentation of findings so that they confirm one’s argument.’ Havingcomplied with suggestions from referees despite having thought that they were wrong isreported by 39% (CI: 34–44%). Even 59% (CI: 55–64%) report that they have at leastonce cited strategically to increase the prospect of publishing their work. According totheir responses, 6.3% of the participants have never engaged in a practice rejected by atleast a majority of peers.”

These ethical deficiencies stand in stark contrast to the increasing technical sophisticat-edness in empirical economics, especially because the latter might actually be exploitedto achieve ’publishability’ (an issue also touched upon in past editorials, e.g. here6

and here7 ). And indeed, past heterodox research has often been concerned with thesocial embeddedness of economic activities and the ’negative externalities’ associatedwith all-too competitive social settings. Just to quote the words of classic:

”We may then come to the conclusion that while the element of competition can play auseful and constructive part in some departments of our lives, its unrestricting acceptanceas the basic driving force will foster undesirable qualities like greed, fraud, ruthlessness,

at the cost of truthfulness, readiness to help and solidarity.“ (Rothschild, K.W., 1954,The Wastes of Competition, 311)

Interestingly, such a perspective can also be substantiated with reference to more recentresearch in behavioral economics (see here8 or here9 or this book10 ). Although thesecontributions have not (yet?) led academic economics back to the classic question on thebroader social ramifications of economic developments, they allow for flexible framing ofthe underlying argument making it more easily digestible for our colleagues of a moretraditional orientation ;-)

All the best,

2nd Workshop on ”Agent-based modelling” at ESCP Europe(Berlin, May 2017)

19-20 May, 2017 — ESCP Europe Business School Berlin, Germany

Theme: Agent-based modelling in economics – from toy model to verifiedtool of analysis

A platform for discussion + tutorial on the validation and verification of ABM

Organized by SustBusy: Research Center on Business and Society – Towards aSustainable World

The best model of a cat is a cat, preferably the same cat.1 Science needs models to studyphenomena which can t be tested in reality. A 1:1 model would be as complex as the realworld and take as long to run. Models thus have to be abstract simplifications. Standardeconomic mathematical models are high abstractions based on unrealistic behavioralassumptions.

Agent-based models (ABM) have been established as an alternative, offering the poten-tial to integrate empirically observed facts, but economic ABM are still often toy models.They may be helpful to illustrate interrelations or dynamics, but the relevance of theiranalysis is hard to prove.

The workshop wants to discuss how economic ABM can become more credible by de-signing them following standard principles of validation and verification. We would liketo exchange ideas about methods discussed in literature, such as sensitivity analyses,guidelines for rigor2, or the “systematic design of experiments” (DOE)3.

The workshop is free of charge.

Annual Conference of the Japan Society of Political Economy(JSPE): ”Capital, Imperialism and the Critique of Capitalism”(Tokyo, Oct 2017)

28-29 October, 2017 — Chuo University, Tokyo, Japan

This year marks 150 years since the publication of Marx’s Capital and 100 years since thepublication of Lenin’s Imperialism. Both books have played essential roles in advancingknowledge of capitalism both theoretically and historically. Yet, intense controversy hasswirled around the legacies of each. However, the most precise understanding to dateis that we should analyse the deep structural operating system of capitalism groundedin Marx’s Capital as the basic theory of capitalism. Lenin’s Imperialism is best ap-prehended as the pioneering attempt to build a stage theory of capitalist development.In the 65 annual conference of the JSPE we will discuss the importance of the twobooks. The conference is devoted to furthering our understanding of capitalism in itsmost fundamental incarnation, stages of development, and the historical trajectories ofcontemporary capitalist economies under neoliberal globalisation with continuing to findthemselves mired in crisis, austerity, and burgeoning inequalities.

Plenary Speaker:

• Professor David Harvey (City University of New York), the 2016 JSPE-RoutledgeBook Prize winner.

The JSPE-Routledge Book Prize honours works that promote the study of heterodoxeconomics throughout the world and challenges the dominant position of orthodox neo-classical economics among economists and policy-makers.

Association for Evolutionary Economics @ AFEP Conference (Rennes,July 2017)

4-7 July, 2017 — Rennes, France

The general call for papers of the French Association for Political Economy(AFEP) can be found here25 .

The 2007-2008 global financial-economic crisis drawn attention to profound structuralweaknesses of financially liberalized capitalist economies. This crisis, still going on de-spite massive and costly recovery policies implemented by major central banks andcentral governments since 2008, quickly spread from the US financial markets and in-stitutions to European and emerging markets. It has also involved in its wake somefragile domestic debt structures such as the Greek and Spanish economies, some fragileproductive systems such as the Argentinian, Brazilian and Turkish economies

Several conventional analyses argued that the global crisis was mainly due to wrongmonetary policies and related low interest rates since the early 2000s implemented bythe Fed. Alternatively, numerous non-neoclassical analyses have suggested more criticalstudies on such a worldwide systemic turmoil. Some of them put the emphasis on the en-dogenous fragilities of capitalist finance from a Minskyian perspective while others focuson market imperfections and the irrelevance of self-regulation with regard to systemic

stability issues. Most of those researches shed light, explicitly or indirectly, on institu-tional weaknesses of the monetary and financial markets that central governments’ andregulation authorities’ reforms have fueled.

This specific AFEP-AFEE panel session aims at gathering contributions that seek to offeran institutional analysis on those topics and encourages institutionalist and evolutionistanalyses to develop studies on the fragilities of the financialization process of capitalisteconomies and its systemic consequences in the aim of foreseeing a relevant alternativefuture for democratic societies.

The suggested deadline for proposals (abstract up to 2 pages with max 5 keywordsand JEL Codes, with author(s) name(s), affiliation, mail and email addresses) is 15March 2017. It is suggested that at least one of the authors of each paper is a memberof AFEE at the date of the conference.

The proposals must be sent to Dr. Faruk ULGEN ( faruk.ulgen@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr26

)

Notification of acceptance of papers will be sent to authors on 31 March 2017.

Completed papers are to be submitted by 1 June 2017 and will be posted on the con-ference website unless the authors request otherwise.

Association for Heterodox Economics Annual Conference: ”Sus-tainability and Heterodox Economics” (Manchester, July 2017)

10-12 July, 2017 — University of Manchester, UK

IMPORTANT NOTE: THERE WAS A CHANGE OF VENUE: Dalton EllisHall27 , University of Manchester, UK

The shrinking of the polar ice caps suggests a dangerous rise in sea level by 2050.Declining biodiversity and growing sea pollution indicate that a change is needed inthe dominant narratives about growth and profit. Heterodox economics needs to offera compelling alternative narrative. This conference welcomes submissions of ’StreamProposals’ which theorise such issues, or do empirical work, or both. Make your proposalas informative and accessible as possible, click here28 to submit an abstract. Weencourage early-career researchers to plan a Stream, and thus widen their network.

Cambridge Journal of Economics: Special Issue on ”TowardsDe-Financialisation and the Rise of New Capitalism?”

Editors:

• Giuseppe Fontana (Univ. of Leeds and Univ. of Sannio),

• Christos Pitelis (Brunel University London),

• Jochen Runde (Univ. of Cambridge)

This Special Issue of the Cambridge Journal of Economics invites contributions on thefuture of financialisation and the potential rise of a new form of post-financialisationcapitalism. The aim is to stimulate a debate on how finance and financial markets andinstitutions can better serve the real economy and foster economic, social and environ-mental sustainability.

Early discussions of finance/industry relations go back to classical economists such asSmith and Marx. Key subsequent contributions include Hilferding’s (1910) views on anemerging fusion of financial and industrial motives, Polanyi’s (1944) discussion of theproblems associated with the commodification of money in capitalism, Hymer’s (1971)international variant of Hilferding’s fusion idea, and numerous debates on the potentialdominance of finance (such as the City of London) over industry and its deleteriouseffects on the real economy (Argitis and Pitelis, 2008). More recently, Epstein (2001)and Argitis and Pitelis (2001) have highlighted the role of tight monetary policy andinflation targeting in support of the interests of financial capital on the real economy,including increasing inequities in the distribution of income.

In the modern incarnation of such debates, the term ‘Financialisation’ usually refersto the growing weight of financial motives, financial actors and markets in moderneconomies since the 1980s, both at the national and international level (Epstein, 2001).This process involved the proliferation of securitisation and new financial instruments,and substantial credit expansions to households (Sawyer, 2016). It has coincided and hasarguably been facilitated by the parallel ‘liberalisation’, de-regulation and self-regulationof markets and the economy more widely. The current period of financialisation has alsocoincided with the rise of globalisation, neo-liberalism and growing inequality (Palley,2013). Notwithstanding its global nature, there are also significant variations betweencountries in terms of the particular forms financialisation has taken and the speed withwhich it has spread across the world (Lapavitsas and Powell, 2013).

There is now a growing debate on the impact, limits and future of financialisation,and on how capitalism might look in the coming decades. Will the excesses of financeand financial markets that led in 2007-2008 to the financial crisis and related GreatRecession be tamed, regulated and managed? Have we entered a new age of capitalism,where financial motives and financial actors will continue to define not only the regime ofaccumulation and the ascendency of ‘shareholder value’ as a mode of business governance,but also take primacy over all aspects of everyday life from housing, pensions and utilities,fostering further the culture of individualism and the primacy of markets that underpin it(Van der Zwan, 2014)? Will the emergence of new actors and models of finance threatenthe established system, as various commentators have suggested? Could a more co-operative approach to finance pave the way to a post-capitalist economy and society(Mason, 2015), or a fairer capitalism (Reich, 2016)? Might the slowdown of China leadto a revival of manufacturing and production in the Western World, with associatedchanges in the power structures between finance and industry? What does the rise ofIT-based giants like Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Uber imply for the future of banks,the industry/finance link, labour, and capitalism as a whole? (Kregel, 2016)

An indicative, by no means exhaustive, list of questions that might be addressed in theSI includes:

• What is financialisation? Are there different varieties of financialisation and if so,how do these relate to history and historical debates about it?

• Is financialisation just another structural transformation of modern capitalism ora completely new regime of accumulation?

• What is the finance/industry relation? Is the financial sector now too large vis-a-vis the needs of the real sector? What is the role of alternatives models of financeand banking, such as mutual or local financial institutions, state development orinvestment banks, in reducing or restructuring the size and scope of the financialsector?

15

• What is the role of technology in financialisation? Would technology and inno-vation in the digital provision of means and systems of payments matter for thefuture of financialisation? Would they make current regulations less effective inpromoting financial stability?

• What is the nature of the relationship between financialisation and the sustainabil-ity of the economy, society and the natural environment? What would a financialsystem able to support a process of sustainable development, broadly conceived,look like? What are the likely shifts in the industry/finance and natural environ-ment/finance relationships?

• Has financialisation affected the gender, race and occupational stratification of oursocieties?

• Do inter- and intra-group inequalities, together with established social norms in-fluence the nature and role of financial motives, financial actors and markets inmodern economies?

• Are there limits to financialisation and the dominance of finance over the realeconomy? What might post-financialisation capitalism look like? What institu-tions and policies might support a fairer more sustainable system? How and bywhom might these be promoted?

• Has capitalism been taken over by an ‘elite’ that encompasses key actors fromfinance, industry, government and even the ‘third sector’ rendering regulatorychanges endogenous to special interests and hence unable to foster significantchange?

Conference on ”Trade Negotiations and Dispute Resolution”(London, June 2017)

12 June, 2017 — University of Westminster, UK

The place of dispute resolution mechanisms in the negotiation of trade and investmentagreements is an issue of high policy significance. The role of ISDS in the TTIP hasbeen a major obstacle in negotiations between the USA and the EU. There have beensimilar experiences with CETA (Canada-EU) and the TPP (Trans- Pacific Partnership).As the UK is building capacity to negotiate trade deals post its departure from the EU,the nature and arrangements for dispute resolution have become a pressing policy issue.This reality is complicated further by the plans of the Trump administration to revisitUSA trade deals.

This one-day conference seeks to explore the role of dispute resolution mechanisms, es-pecially investor-state dispute settlement provisions, in public policy. The core themesare the necessity for ISDS and its links with national judicial systems, the structure ofISDS clauses in bilateral and multilateral investment agreements, and challenges in ne-gotiating such clauses. Papers are invited discussing the above themes (broadly defined)against the background of Brexit, TTIP, CETA and the changed policy landscape in theUSA.

Deadline: Abstracts of 500 words to be sent to the organiser by 1 April. Acceptanceswill be notified by 1 May, with the full papers to be submitted by 1 June 2017.

Venue: University of Westminster, Little Titchfield Street, LONDON W1W 7BY

EAEPE Symposium on ”Developing Economics: Towards a Criti-cal Research Agenda for Development Economics” (Berlin, June2017)

10-11 June, 2017 — Berlin School of Economics and Law, Germany

A brief summary is given below, more information on the web44 .

Venue: Berlin School of Economics and Law, Institute for International Political Econ-omy (IPE), Badensche Straße 52, 10825 Berlin

Organisers: Svenja Flechtner (European University Flensburg), Jakob Hafele (Univer-sity of Vienna), Martina Metzger (Institute for International Political Economy at theBerlin School of Economics and Law), Theresa Neef (Freie Universitat Berlin)

Program committee: Svenja Flechtner (European University Flensburg), ClaudiusGrabner (University of Linz), Jakob Hafele (University of Vienna), Agnes Labrousse(University of Amiens), Theresa Neef (Freie Universitat Berlin)

Keynotes:

• Smita Srinivas (Indian Institute for Human Settlements),

• Sanjay Reddy (The New School, New York),

• Erik Reinert (Tallinn University of Technology)

The symposium will reflect upon the research agenda of ‘development economics’ froma critical and pluralist perspective. Its aim is to develop and connect new impulsesfor addressing the pressing global challenges of persisting poverty and inequalities. Bycritically discussing potentials and shortcomings of current approaches and practices,the symposium contributes to a research agenda that enables economists to analyse de-velopment processes in a globalised world from critical and pluralist perspectives. Allcontributions that help develop a critical research agenda are welcome. In particular,we will address two fields that attain huge attention in contemporary development eco-nomics: behavioural and institutional approaches to economic and human development.The symposium also aims at creating an environment in which contributions from differ-ent disciplines such as economics, political sciences, law, or sociology can be appreciated.

18

The symposium welcomes contributions from any field of economics or neighbouringdisciplines that may contribute to its goals. In particular, we invite contributions thatdiscuss the following (non-exhaustive set of) questions:

• What can we learn from bringing structuralist perspectives (e.g. core-peripherymodels,regulationist approaches) back in, and can they be fruitfully connected with insti-tutionalanalysis?

• How can we effectively account for institutional diversity?

• What are the potentials and pitfalls of behavioural approaches to economic devel-opment?

• How can we address the methodological and epistemological challenges facing be-havioural economics approaches to development? In particular, how can we betterunderstand apparently non-rational behaviour?

• Is it possible to bridge the two very different epistemologies of structuralist andbehaviouralist approaches and if so, how? Can we use behavioural approacheswithout losing sight of socio-economic structures and dynamics?

• How can heterodox perspectives contribute to a research agenda for developmenteconomics that is critical, interdisciplinary, and sensitive to power issues and globalinequalities?

Please send your abstract of max. 500 words to svenja.flechtner@uni-flensburg.de45

until 31 March 2017. Participants will be notified in April. Limited funding is availableto make a financial contribution to travel and accommodati expenses for those otherwiseunable to obtain funding.

The symposium enjoys financial support by the Fritz Thyssen foundation.

Freedom and Justice Summer Conference (New York City, Aug2017)

ference with the theme: Freedom and Justice: Jobs, Economic Security, andInclusion. The conference will be held at and co-sponsored by John Jay College ofCriminal Justice and the New School in New York City. The Freedom and Justice Con-ference is a social justice conference that attracts a small group of scholars who arededicated to discussing pressing economic problems and their solutions for communitiesof color.

”Salvation for a race, nation or class must come from within. Freedom is never granted;it is won. Justice is never given; it is exacted. Freedom and justice must be struggledfor by the oppressed of all lands and races, and the struggle must be continuous, forfreedom is never a final act, but a continuing evolving process to higher and higher levelsof human, social, economic, political, and religious relationships.” – A. Philip Randolph

“Perhaps the obvious needs to be repeated; what frightens U.S. ruling-class circles isthe linking of issues, strategies and, above all, people in struggle.” – Elizabeth “Betita”Martınez

The conference calls attention to the words of A. Philip Randolph and Betita Martınez,activists and civil rights leaders who linked racial justice with economic justice for all.The conference will provide a forum for discussion of ongoing racial-ethnic economicdisparities and policy recommendations designed to counter them.

We are especially interested in papers/panels submissions on the following topics:

• Precarious Employment and Communities of Color

• Gender and Economic Insecurity

• Race, Gender, and the Side-Hustle

• The Economics of Policing Communities of Color

• Race and the Provision of, and Definition of, and Access to Public Goods (highereducation, clean water, safe streets, transportation, health care, housing policy,etc.)

• Tribal Communities, Infrastructure, and Resource Extraction

• The Male Wage Inversion (black men make less than white women)

• Agency and Workers of Color (focus on Black Worker Centers, leadership by peopleof color in the labor movement, Domestic Worker Alliance, Restaurant Opportuni-ties Center (ROC), etc. who, when, where and how workers of color fight to shapetheir wages, hours and working conditions)

20

Papers/Panels which examine the conference theme of jobs, economic security, and in-clusion for Indigenous and Asian Americans are also encouraged.

We invite scholars to explore these and other questions at our interdisciplinary summerconference. Presenters are expected to contribute to conference discussions for the fulltwo days.

Abstracts of approximately 200 words should be sent as Word attachments to nbanks@bucknell.edu46

. Only e-mail submissions will be considered. Conference presentations must be no longerthan 15 minutes. The abstract submission deadline is May 10, 2017. Abstractsmust include presenter’s name, title, affiliation, physical mailing address, e-mail address,phone number(s), and any audio/visual requests. We invite submissions for individualpapers as well as for panels. Presenters will be notified of status by May 15th. Allpresenters and attendees must register for the conference in order to attend.

The Conference registration fee is $125.00. The conference registration and hotel infor-mation will be on-line and available once submissions have been accepted.

International Journal of Pluralism and Economics Education:Special Issue on ”Pluralism with Purpose”

Special Issue on ”Pluralism with Purpose: Applying a Pluralist Approach toInforming Policy”

Understanding economic phenomena by using pluralism in teaching and research is anintensely debated problem, but we believe that an increased focus on applied pluralistapproaches is now required (e.g., to operationalise the OECD’s New Approaches toEconomic Challenges programme). We need both a shared understanding of the meaningof a pluralist approach to understanding economic phenomena, including feasible appliedmethods from relevant disciplines, and a means of choosing one or more amongst them.

Pluralism is, however, more than applications, it is also about culture, institutions andrelationships, including those between economists and amongst other social scientists.So for instance the OECD discusses the need for ‘appropriate changes in the structureof the organisation to avoid one-size-fits-all and move beyond a silo-approach to policy,to enhance inter-disciplinarity and to safe-guard against groupthink’. This also appliesto heterodox economists as they are clearly not automatically pluralist in practice oroutlook. Pluralism is not about replacing one dogma with another one.

This Call for Papers welcomes a dialogue with mainstream economists, both academicsand practitioners, to build bridges and break down walls within the economics discipline

and between economics and other disciplines. We are looking particularly for papersfocusing on the application of pluralist approaches in terms of methods, but also interms of the institutions and behavior necessary to solidify pluralism.

This Call for Papers invites contributions in the following areas:

1. What is an applied pluralist approach? When can it be said to be scientific?

2. What can economics learn from the natural and social sciences?

3. What is the scope for application i.e., how do we define the economy or economicphenomena?

4. What are the methods and procedures for applying a pluralist approach to un-derstanding economic phenomena? How to decide the methods or combination ofmethods fit for purpose? How must theories, methods and evidence interact?

5. How can pluralism be supported within the policy making process and withingovernment institutions?

6. How does pluralism as a modus vivendi relate to a modus operandi in terms ofinstitutions, behaviour, methods, etc.

International Post-Keynesian And Institutionalist Conference:”Instability, Growth & Regulation” (Grenoble, Dec 2017)

7-9 December, 2017 — Grenoble University, Grenoble, France

The purpose of this conference is to question the limits of capitalist economies to providesociety with sustainable and viable economic growth, as well as durable human devel-opment. In line with the 1st Conference in December 2015, the aim of this 2nd Con-ference is to contribute to the understanding of the working of market-based capitalistand capitalist-like economies through the rise of new forms of accumulation, regulation,socialization and the collective management of instabilities.

This multidisciplinary conference aims at bringing together approaches rooted in thehistorical tradition of the critical analysis of capitalism, which in turns rests on twoimportant arguments: 1) capitalist societies are continuously changing; and 2) theyare unstable social structures that rely on specific institutional frameworks (includingmarkets and state) whose collective design heavily determines the path of change.

Through time, capitalism has displayed different paths of evolution, at times highlyunstable, reflecting its dynamic nature, which is related to complex economic, politicaland social linkages. For instance, the economic and financial crisis of 2007, the causesof which are varied and complex, was preceded by a period of growth that has beenlabeled the Great Moderation, which convinced scholars and decision- makers that theireconomic objectives would be reached in the not-so-distant future. The crisis, however,

largely invalidated those “great expectations”. As a result, growth in most countries(advanced as well as emerging economies) has slowed down considerably, and some maybe entrenched in what economists have called ‘secular stagnation.’

It has become clear that after several decades of implementing market-friendly neoliberalpolicies around the world, the 2007 crisis represents a considerable challenge to main-

stream economic theories and policies with respect to a number of fundamental economicissues, such as durable development, financial stability, sustainable growth, and povertyreduction. This calls for alternative economic approaches better able to point to neweconomic and social policies. Yet, building such policies requires a profound reflection onthe existing theories and models, and a rethinking of the most basic concepts: markets,money, the role of the State, the regulatory framework, among many others.

While Post-Keynesian and Institutionalist in nature, this conference seeks to encouragean open exchange and dialogue among different paradigms both within economics (suchas evolutionary, regulationist, institutionalist, Marxist, Kaleckian, social, feminist, andhumanistic economics) and within the social sciences at large, such as anthropology,history, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology.

We welcome submissions from all critical traditions. The working languages of theconference will be English and French.

• - Alternative fiscal and monetary policies

• - Capitalist accumulation and growth regimes

Session on ”Financial geographies of Europe” @ EUGEO Congress(Brussels, Sep 2017)

4-6 September, 2017 — Palace of the Academies, Brussels, Belgium

EUGEO54 , the Association of Geographical Societies in Europe (EUGO), organisesevery two years a major international scientific congress, bringing together geographersfrom all over the world.

After Amsterdam, London, Bratislava, Rome and Budapest in 2015, where over 600participants attended the congress, EUGEO 2017 will take place in Brussels in theprestigious Palace of the Academies, at short distance from the Grand Place.

The format of the congress will be based on thematic sessions, organized around problemsthat Europe and European geographers face.

A Provisional list of the sessions can be found here55 . Special attention to Theme 6(Economy and transportation) and Theme 8 (Politics and policies).

More details about the conference can be found here56 .

Call for papers for a session ”Financial geographies of Europe” at 6th EU-GEO congress:

• Conveneurs: Manuel B. Aalbers (KU Leuven) & David Bassens (VUBrus-sels)

Finance was never just another sector of the economy, but there is reason to believethat the centrality of finance to the European economies, societies and households hasincreased in recent decades. Geographers have scrutinized this process, known as ‘finan-cialization’, in particular since the global financial crisis that morphed into a sovereigndebt crisis. Within Europe there was—and continues to be—a strong geography to thecrisis at all scales.52mailto:vmonvoisin@gmail.com53https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxncmVub2JsZXBvc3RrZXluZXNpYW5jb25mfGd4OjNmMGIxZTZhOGRmMzFiMGQ54http://www.eugeo.eu/55https://eugeo2017.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/556https://eugeo2017.sciencesconf.org/

We are interested in studies that present geographies of the financial and debt (post-)crisis, but also in geographies of the financial sector itself. We welcome papers thataddress: financial flows, centres and networks; the financialization of households, cor-porations, state agencies and the economy at large; and also in work that address howfinance relates to and implicates geopolitics, sustainability, socio-spatial equality andjustice, and uneven development. Finally, we encourage contributions on methods andtechniques for financial geography.

Call for Papers of the EAEPE Research Area J on “Monetary Economics, Finance andFinancial Institutions”

RA [J] CfP - Monetary Economics, Finance and Financial Institutions

This research area provides a pluralistic and interdisciplinary forum for the analysisof financial markets and their role in economy, culture and society. With respect tothe general theme of the 2017 EAEPE Annual conference, this research area wants toaddress the capacities of the state for governing financial institutions and its (new) rolein the context of the contemporary transnational financial system. Thus, we are callingfor contributions which discuss driving forces like technological, financial or regulatoryinnovations which challenge, undermine or support the governability of financial affairs.In these respects and to enrich our theoretical and policy vocabulary, this Research Areawants to explore (but is by no means limited to) the following questions:

• How do present-day political movements affect financial affairs? What challengesare thereby posed to financial institutions and their business models?

27

• What are the new tools and epistemic frameworks of central banks? How do theseinnovations change the financial system?

• How did the emergence and growing importance of state-owned financial institu-tions and affect the stability of financial markets?

• How do different jurisdictional environments influence the profitability of financialinstitutions?

• What effects have strategies of tax fraud and tax avoidance on the systemic struc-ture of finance?

• How do large asset holders like institutional investors affect public decision makingand societal structures?

• How does digitalization disrupt the traditional financial industry and what effectsdoes this have on financial stability?

• How can regulatory bodies adapt to the accelerated and automated practices offinancial exchange?

• To which extent may artificial intelligence help to make the international financialarchitecture more (in)stable?

We welcome submissions of individual papers or panels. Panel submissions are thoughtto contain 4 to 5 contributions, chair and discussant. Paper abstracts (300-750 words)should include the name(s), email address, affiliation of the authors, along with the nameof this Research Area.

Institutional and Political-Economic Perspectives”

The European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE) will be hostinga conference in Budapest, Hungary on 19-21 October 2017.

The EAEPE organizes joint sessions together with the Association for EvolutionaryEconomics (AFEE)63 since 2012. The goal is to promote scientific and scholarly collab-oration between the two sister organisations. Due to its continuous success a permanentResearch Area for has been implemented for these joint sessions.

This year’s topic is: “The Global Crisis of Youth Unemployment: Causes, Consequencesand Policies. Evolutionary-Institutional and Political-Economic Perspectives”. The aimis to address the serious global problem of youth unemployment. Policies for recoveryand development have usually focused on minimising financial risks and increasing com-petitiveness. However, few policies have put young people at the heart of development.Thus they fail to grasp the deep causes and sweeping impact of youth unemployment,which has dramatically increased across countries in the post-crisis era. Rising unem-ployment among young people can have serious consequences for individual and collectivewellbeing, leading to further economic slowdown, social unrest and political instability.It is thus imperative to join forces to raise awareness about the problem and discuss thepossible ways of solving it by introducing new policies and institutions.

We invite contributions that talk about conditions of and policies for youth unemploy-ment. We welcome works that derive from various social science disciplines and usedifferent units of analysis (individual, regional, country or cross-country level), method-ologies and techniques (theoretical, empirical, qualitative and quantitative). Finally, weinvite evolutionary, institutionalist, and political-economic perspectives on the problem.

”International Conference: Marx’s Capital after 150 Years – Cri-tique and Alternative to Capitalism” (Toronto, May 2017)

24-26 May, 2017 — York University, Toronto, Canada

After the eruption of the international financial crisis in 2008, Marx’s Capital receivedrenewed academic and popular attention. Leading newspapers throughout the worlddiscussed again the contemporary relevance of its pages. Faced with a deep new crisisof capitalism, many are now looking to an author who in the past was often wronglyassociated with the ”actually existing socialism”; and who was too hastily dismissedafter the fall of the Berlin Wall.

For many scholars today, Marx’s analyses are arguably resonating even more stronglythan they did in his own time. This international conference will bring together sev-eral world-renowned sociologists, political theorists, economists, and philosophers, fromdiverse fields and more than 10 countries with the aim of offering diverse scholarlyperspectives and critical insights into the principal contradictions of contemporary cap-italism and, in so doing, point to alternative economic and social models.

The conference is structured in nine plenary sessions and around several major themes.Among them there are: new interpretations of Capital in light of ecology, non-Europeansocieties and gender; the contemporary relevance of Capital; re-reading Capital as anincomplete project after the new critical edition of Marx’s complete work (MEGA); andthe global dissemination and reception of Capital. The presenters will critically recon-sider Marx’s magnum opus as a work that continues to provide an effective frameworkto understand the nature of capitalism and the transformations of our times.

ECLAC/UN Summer School on ”Latin American Economies”(Santiago, Jul-Sep 2017)

The Summer School on Latin American Economies is a two-month training program fromJuly to September every year, aimed at young researchers interested in Latin Americandevelopment issues. It is organized by the Division of Production, Productivity, andManagement.

In ECLAC’s analytical tradition, production structure, technological progress, and tradespecialization are the main variables that explain long-run economic and social develop-ment. ECLAC’s contributions are part of a tradition in economic theory that combinesthe Keynesian paradigm with the Schumpeterian and evolutionist traditions. The for-mer pays special attention to income distribution and full employment policies, whilethe latter focuses on the dynamics of learning, technological innovation and diffusionand its impact on the production patterns. These traditions recognize that industrialand technological policies are crucial to foster developing countries’ convergence withthe developed economies in terms of technological capabilities and per capita GDP. InECLAC’s School, the participants debate these topics in an open, plural and multidis-ciplinary framework. They study empirical and theoretical topics emphasizing recentLatin American economic history and its impacts on economic perspectives and policies.

The ECLAC Summer School offers its students access not only to the infrastructure andlibrary at its headquarters in Santiago, but also to the human capabilities associatedwith its various divisions (covering a broad range of areas of study on the realities ofthe region), and its vast ECLAC network of researchers and universities throughout theworld.

Full-time availability is required during the entire program. Courses are taught in bothSpanish and English.

Summer School on ”Repoliticising capitalism: contradictions,critique and alternatives” (Roskilde, Aug 2017)

31 July - 11 August 2017 — Roskilde University, Denmark

Course outline

The summer school brings together a faculty of international scholars (including Ngai-Ling Sum and Bob Jessop) and staff from Roskilde University (including Jesper Jes-persen, Peter Nielsen and Mikkel Flohr) for an in-depth course on heterodox and criticalpolitical economic perspectives. It offers a unique opportunity to directly engage withoriginal economic texts/source material and to explore core dimensions of the critique of(neo)classical economic theory and contemporary perspectives on global capitalism. Thefocus of the course is explicitly pluralist, encouraging students to widen their horizonfor critical thinking and methodological reflection

The first part of the course ‘Economic Thought from Oikos to Economics’ traces thehistory of economic ideas with an emphasis on critical and heterodox approaches. Theindividual sessions will introduce students to carefully selected primary literature fromclassical, critical and heterodox strands of economic thought. The objective is to under-stand the varied historical effect of these theories on both the object of study and thediscipline itself. This will provide the foundation for further elaboration on contempo-rary issues such as debt, unemployment, inequality, and growth.

The second part of the course ‘Contemporary Challenges, Critiques and Alternatives’addresses present and pressing issues, through the lens of critical and heterodox politicaleconomy. This theoretical and applied pluralism will provide insights on issues suchas e.g. the development crisis, financialisation, austerity politics and climate change.Through the employment of recent critiques, the second section of the course henceoffers potential pathways towards different conceptualisations and alternatives to “theeconomy” as we know it.

Why do this summer school at Roskilde University?

The ‘Repoliticizing Capitalism’ course at Roskilde University is the only one of its kindin Scandinavia. It offers a rare opportunity to engage with primary economic texts aswell as leading scholars within heterodox economics and critical political economy. Thecourse will contribute substantially to students’ understanding of economics, its historyand usages. Moreover the specific focus on alternatives and critiques enables studentsto move beyond orthodox conceptualizations of the economy.

RUC is a critical university, with an explicit focus on creating experimental and inno-vative learning experiences and knowledge. It has a unique history of student activismand legacy of critical thought that still leaves an impression on university environment.

41

The summer school at RUC not only provides an opportunity to take part in a vibrantacademic community, but you will also be presented with the possibility of directlyengaging with professors, lecturers and researchers leading within their fields. RUC’sdedication to student participation, problem solving and innovative learning approacheswill positively add to the credentials of any student.

Located at the city of Roskilde and a 25-min train-ride from Copenhagen, the cultural,social, economic and political happenings are inside the reach of its green surroundings.

For more details, please see the course website95 and below.

Date

The course is offered from 31 July - 11 August 2017. The application deadline is 15 May.

Course format

The course takes place over a two week period and comprises a range of activities. Eachweek there are four days of teaching (seminars and workshops), and one day of self-study.

The seminars presents a variety of critical approaches, drawing on the readings andthe lecturers’ own work. The core element of the summer school is active learning-oriented workshops, in which the participants discuss the theoretical, methodological andempirical issues raised in the lectures. There will also be opportunities for participantsto present their own work to the group. Self-study periods, facilitated by the enablinglearning environment at the Roskilde university campus offer an opportunity for studentsto improve their knowledge and understanding of theoretical perspectives and currentaffairs. Social activities include film screenings, an evening discussing economics andscience fiction, as well as a barbecue.

Language

The course is taught in English.

Summer school on ”Applied Stock-Flow consistent and Agent-based Macro-modelling” (Paris, July 2017)

17-22 July, 2017 — Paris, France

Venue: At Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, Universite Paris 13, Sorbonne Paris Cite(from Monday to Friday) and the main Campus of Paris 13 in Villetaneuse (on Saturday)

Motivation

The aim of this event is to continue the successful tradition of the winter schools andworkshops on stock-flow consistent (SFC) and agent-based modelling which took placeat the University of Limerick between 2013 and 2015 as well as the summer school onthe same theme which took place at Kingston University in 2016.

The success of these previous events and the large volume of high-quality applicationswhich were received for every single one of them clearly show that there exists a stronginterest among young economists to learn in-depth about alternative approaches tomacroeconomic modelling. The SFC approach is by now quite well-established, witha growing number of researchers working in the field and current efforts focused onproviding agent-based microfoundations for these models and to move toward a moreempirical approach through estimation and empirical calibration. In addition, the ap-proach is gaining increasing recognition from institutions such as the Bank of England,which in September 2016 published a working paper based on an SFC model of the UK

economy. In spite of all this, there continues to be a lack of programmes or events whichteach the subject in a coherent and comprehensive fashion.

This summer school at Universite Paris 13 will contribute to filling this gap by bringingtogether some leading experts of the SFC and agent-based approaches who will give anintensive one-week course to a group of interested young economists. Paris 13 is partic-ularly well-placed to organise such an event since a large number of its faculty membersare active in these fields. More generally, Paris 13 possesses an open and pluralisticeconomics faculty, as well as a research centre which is committed to the creation anddissemination of new economic thinking. Moreover, since Kingston University is oneof the partners of the Erasmus Mundus EPOG programme coordinated by Paris 13,this means that the summer school will also have access to the experts on the SFC andagent-based approaches who are based at Kingston University.

Why join our summer school?

If you are a highly motivated student of economics at the Master’s or Ph.D. level, or ifyou are working with a research centre or a public institution, and have a strong interestin stock-flow consistent (SFC) and/or agent-based (AB) modelling and their applica-tions, this summer school offers you a unique opportunity to participate in an intensive,one-week course about these approaches. Courses will be taught by international lead-ing experts. If you are already working on a project incorporating SFC and/or ABapproaches, the summer school offers you the chance to discuss your work and to resolveany issue requiring expert support. This summer school is also an excellent opportunityto discuss and exchange ideas with participants who are equally interested in similarissues.

Aims and objectives

SFC macroeconomic modelling is fundamentally concerned with providing a compre-hensive representation of both the real and financial sides of the economy in order toappropriately depict the important interactions between them. Consistency is ensuredthrough the application of rigorous accounting rules, and the imposition of restrictivegeneral equilibrium conditions is not necessary. SFC models are well suited to the studyof a wide variety of topics and have thus far proved particularly useful in studying thecauses and effects of financial crises as well as issues such as financialisation, income in-equality or monetary integration. More recently, efforts have been made to incorporateinsights from ecological economics into SFC models in order to add the fundamentallyimportant dimension of the ecosystem to these models. SFC modelling represents themost well-developed alternative to mainstream macro-modelling and a growing commu-nity of researchers are working in further advancing the field.

SFC models are typically aggregate models which do not incorporate explicit micro-foundations, although their behavioural equations are usually based on some form ofmicroeconomic reasoning. Such an approach is useful for many purposes, but for a large

44

number of interesting questions it can be helpful to incorporate a more explicit treatmentof microeconomic aspects.

A class of models which can provide a detailed depiction of microeconomic behavioursis that of agent-based models. The agent-based approach focusses on the heterogeneityof economic agents, the adaptive behaviour of these agents and network interactionsbetween them. This allows the modelling of phenomena which would not be observable ina purely aggregate macro model. It also avoids the pitfalls of representative agent modelswhich still abound in economic research and emphasises the importance of emergentproperties in multi-agent environments rather than ignoring them.

The SFC and AB approaches can be gainfully combined, either through the introductionof agent-based microfoundations into one or more sectors of a macroeconomic modelor through building an AB model of an entire economy and imposing the necessaryaccounting constraints to ensure that the model is consistent. The use of agent-basedmicrofoundations in SFC models will be another central theme of the summer schooland participants will learn how such models can be built in practice. There will be aparticular focus on the interactions between the micro- and macroeconomic levels whichcan be depicted through a combination of the SFC and AB approaches. Participants willlearn how interactions at the microeconomic level shape the macroeconomic propertiesof a model and how, in turn, the macroeconomic environment feeds back on relationshipsat the micro level.

Since the large majority of research in SFC and AB modelling thus far has focussedon theoretical work, efforts must now be redirected towards more empirical research,by building empirically estimated or calibrated models. The summer school will thusinclude classes on how the necessary empirical data can be obtained and used in SFCand AB modelling. Participants will be invited to contribute to advancing this aspectof the approach.

Organisation of the courses

From Monday to Friday, the summer school will take place at the Maison des Sciencesde l’Homme of the Universite Paris 13, at the Auditorium for the lectures, and in room414 for the computer labs. On Saturday, the event will take place on the main campusof the Universite Paris 13, in Villetaneuse, at the Amphi 6.

The school will begin on Monday the 17th of July with keynote lectures. This will befollowed by a very brief ( 5 minutes) presentation by each student in which they willgive an idea of their current research.

There will then be 8 hours of teaching sessions per day for the following 5 days (Tuesdayto Saturday). Every day will include one or two classes on theoretical considerations,modelling techniques and empirical applications. 2-4 hours every day will be devoted tocomputer labs in which students will practise hands-on, together with instructors, how

45

to apply the materials and concepts seen in the classes in order to work on their ownmodels. Participants will be provided with the source codes of a few simple models inorder to help them build their own. All the computer labs will build on each other inorder to ensure that all students will leave the summer school with a sound basis tocontinue their work independently.On Saturday, there will be a closing keynote.

Against Labor highlights the tenacious efforts by employers to organize themselves asa class to contest labor. Ranging across a spectrum of understudied issues, essayistsexplore employer anti-labor strategies and offer incisive portraits of people and orga-nizations that aggressively opposed unions. Other contributors examine the anti-labormovement against a backdrop of larger forces, such as the intersection of race and eth-nicity with anti-labor activity, and anti-unionism in the context of neoliberalism.

A timely and revealing collection, Against Labor deepens our understanding of manage-ment history and employer activism and their metamorphic effects on workplace andsociety.

Business Cycles in Economic Thought: A History

Edited by Alain Alcouffe, Monika Poettinger and Bertram Schefold — 2017, Routledge

Business Cycles in Economic Thought underlines how, over the time span of two cen-turies, economic thought interacted with cycles in a continuous renewal of theories andrethinking of policies, whilst economic actions embedded themselves into past economicthought. This book argues that studying crises and periods of growth in different Eu-ropean countries will help to understand how different national, political and culturaltraditions influenced the complex interaction of economic cycles and economic theoriz-ing. The editors of this great volume bring together expert contributors consisting ofeconomists, historians of economic thought and historians of economics, to analyse crisesand theories of the nineteenth and the twentieth century. This is alongside a comprehen-sive outlook on the most relevant advances of economic theory in France, Germany andItaly, as well as coverage of non-European countries, such as the United States. Severalof the highly prestigious Villa Vigoni Trilateral Conferences formed the background forthe discussions in this book. This volume is of great interest to students and academicswho study history of economic thought, political economy and macroeconomics.

Dirty Secrets: How Tax Havens Destroy the Economy

By Richard Murphy — 2017, VersoBooks

The Panama Papers were a reminder of how the superrich are allowed to hide theirwealth from the rest of us. Dirty Secrets uncovers the extent of the corruption behindthis crisis and shows what needs to be done in the face of this unregulated spread oframpant greed.

Tax havens, we are often told, are part of the global architecture of capitalism, provid-ing a freedom from regulation necessary to make markets work. In this book, leadingauthority Richard Murphy uncovers the truth behind this lie. The fact of the matter isthat this increasingly popular practice threatens the foundations of democracy, sowingmistrust and creating a regime based upon opacity.

As Murphy shows, how we manage our economy is a political decision, and one thatcan be changed. Dirty Secrets proposes ways to regulate tax havens and what the worldmight look like without them.

Evolutionary Political Economy in Action: A Cyprus Symposium

The world is in turmoil, the dynamics of political economy seem to have entered a phasewhere a ‘return to normal’ cannot be expected. Since the financial crisis, conventionaleconomic theory has proven itself to be rather helpless and political decision makers havebecome suspicious about this type of economic consultancy. This book offers a differentapproach. It promises to describe political and economic dynamics as interwoven asthey are in real life and it adds to that an evolutionary perspective. The latter allowsfor a long-run view, which makes it possible to discuss the emergence and exit of socialinstitutions. Part I of the book provides a broad range of issues that show how flexibleevolutionary political economy can handle acute policy problems in Europe: shouldEurope support the revived build-up of NATO forces on its Eastern border, or shouldit rather aim at economic cooperation with Russia? How can democracy for a wholecontinent be reasonably further developed; what is the role of economies of scope? Dothe new protest movements against inequality provide alternatives? What could a visionfor a unified, socioecological Europe look like? Part II takes a closer look at Cyprus andGreece, where the problems of the financial crisis have been exacerbated by the ‘solutions’imposed on them by the troika. In all of these essays, the authors demonstrate theunique insights which can be garnered from adopting an evolutionary political economyapproach and consider the real solutions that such an approach points towards. Thisvolume is extremely useful for social scientists in the fields of economics, politics andsociology who are interested to learn what evolutionary political economy is, how itproceeds and what it can provide.

Goodbye iSlave: A Manifesto for Digital Abolition

By Jack Linchuan Qiu — 2016, Combined Academic Press

Welcome to a brave new world of capitalism propelled by high tech, guarded by en-terprising authority, and carried forward by millions of laborers being robbed of theirsouls. Gathered into mammoth factory complexes and terrified into obedience, theseworkers feed the world’s addiction to iPhones and other commodities–a generation ofiSlaves trapped in a global economic system that relies upon and studiously ignorestheir oppression. Focusing on the alliance between Apple and the notorious Taiwanesemanufacturer Foxconn, Jack Linchuan Qiu examines how corporations and governmentseverywhere collude to build systems of domination, exploitation, and alienation. Hisinterviews, news analysis, and first-hand observation show the circumstances faced byFoxconn workers – circumstances with vivid parallels in the Atlantic slave trade. Qiualso shows how the fanatic consumption of digital media also creates compulsive freelabor that constitutes a form of bondage for the user. Arguing as a digital abolitionist,Qiu draws inspiration from transborder activist groups and forms of grassroots resistanceto make a passionate plea aimed at uniting – and liberating – the forgotten workers whomake our twenty-first-century lives possible.

In the Long Run We Are All Dead: Keynesianism, Political Econ-omy, and Revolution

By Geoff Mann — 2017, VersoBooks

In the ruins of the 2007–2008 financial crisis, self-proclaimed progressives the worldover clamoured to resurrect the economic theory of John Maynard Keynes. The crisisseemed to expose the disaster of small-state, free-market liberalization and deregulation.Keynesian political economy, in contrast, could put the state back at the heart of theeconomy and arm it with the knowledge needed to rescue us. But what it was supposedto rescue us from was not so clear. Was it the end of capitalism or the end of the world?For Keynesianism, the answer is both. Keynesians are not and never have been out tosave capitalism, but rather to save civilization from itself. It is political economy, theypromise, for the world in which we actually live: a world in which prices are “sticky,”

information is “asymmetrical,” and uncertainty inescapable. In this world, things willdefinitely not take care of themselves in the long run. Poverty is ineradicable, marketsfail, and revolutions lead to tyranny. Keynesianism is thus modern liberalism’s mostpersuasive internal critique, meeting two centuries of crisis with a proposal for capitalwithout capitalism and revolution without revolutionaries.

If our current crises have renewed Keynesianism for so many, it is less because thepresent is worth saving, than because the future seems out of control. In that situation,Keynesianism is a perfect fit: a faith for the faithless.

Rethinking the Economics of Land and Housing

By Josh Ryan-Collins, Toby Lloyd and Laurie Macfarlane — 2017, ZedBooks

Why are house prices in many advanced economies rising faster than incomes? Whyisn’t land and location taught or seen as important in modern economics? What is therelationship between the financial system and land?

In this accessible but provocative guide to the economics of land and housing, the authorsreveal how many of the key challenges facing modern economies - including housingcrises, financial instability and growing inequalities - are intimately tied to the landeconomy. Looking at the ways in which discussions of land have been routinely excludedfrom both housing policy and economic theory, the authors show that in order to tacklethese increasingly pressing issues a major rethink by both politicians and economists isrequired.

The Political Economy of Trade Finance: Export Credit Agen-cies, the Paris Club and the IMF

By Pamela Blackmon — 2017, Routledge

Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) provide insurance and guarantees to domestic firms inthe event that payment is not received from an importer. Thus, ECAs reduce uncertain-ties domestic firms face in exporting their goods. Most countries have ECAs that operateas official or quasi-official branches of their governments and they therefore represent an

important part of government strategies to facilitate trade, promote domestic industryand distribute foreign aid. The Political Economy of Trade Finance provides a detailedanalysis of how firms use the medium and longer-term financing provided by ECAs toexport goods to developing countries. It also explains how ECA arrears have contributedto the debt of developing countries and illustrates how the commercial interests of ECAactivity are evident in decisions about IMF arrangements and related to Paris Club debtrescheduling agreements. Finally, the book documents how the medium and longer-termexport credit insurance support provided by the G-7 ECAs was a central component inmitigating steep declines in international trade during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis.This book is of great interest to both academics and students in the field of politicaleconomy, finance and politics of international trade.

The Production of Money: How to Break the Power of Bankers

By by Ann Pettifor — 2017, VersoBooks

What is money, where does it come from, and who controls it

In this accessible, brilliantly argued book, leading political economist Ann Pettifor ex-plains in straightforward terms history’s most misunderstood invention: the money sys-tem. Pettifor argues that democracies can, and indeed must, reclaim control over moneyproduction and restrain the out-of-control finance sector so that it serves the interestsof society, as well as the needs of the ecosystem.

The Production of Money examines and assesses popular alternative debates on, andinnovations in, money, such as “green QE” and “helicopter money.” She sets out thepossibility of linking the money in our pockets (or on our smartphones) to the improve-ments we want to see in the world around us.

Most developed economies are characterized by high levels of inequality and an inabilityto provide stability or opportunity for many of their citizens. Mainstream economics hasproven to be of little assistance in addressing these systemic failures, and this has led bothscholars and students to seek alternatives. One such alternative is provided by Marxianeconomics. In recent decades the field has seen tremendous theoretical development andMarxian perspectives have begun to appear in public discourse in unprecedented ways.

This handbook contains thirty-seven original essays from a wide range of leading inter-national scholars, recognized for their expertise in different areas of Marxian economics.Its scope is broad, ranging from contributions on familiar Marxist concepts such as valuetheory, the labor process, accumulation, crisis and socialism, to others not always as-sociated with the Marxian canon, like feminism, ecology, international migration andepistemology. This breadth of coverage reflects the development of Marxian economicand social theory, and encompasses both the history and the frontiers of current schol-arship. This handbook provides an extensive statement of the current shape and futuredirection of Marxian economics.

The Routledge Handbook of Marxian Economics is an invaluable resource for students,researchers and policy makers seeking guidance in this field. It is designed to serveboth as a reference work and as a supplementary text for classroom use, with applica-tions for courses in economics, sociology, political science, management, anthropology,development studies, philosophy and history.

Project Description: FINWEBS – The role of agency in interconnectinginternational financial centres

The growth of the financial services sector has unmistakeably been one of the key eco-nomic trends of the last thirty years. This growing market has unleashed a race amongcities for the status of ‘international financial centre’ (IFC), which can be understoodas an urban concentration of firms in the financial services sector engaged in cross-border business. The objective of this research project is to better comprehend thedynamic/stability of the system of IFCs through an analysis of several ‘transnationalsocial layers’: networks of financial centres, networks of financial firms and their prod-ucts, and networks of leading financial professionals. By adding an agency perspectiveto the presently-dominant ranking interpretations of how IFCs come into being andjockey for position within global financial business flows, the project aims to move ourunderstanding of stability and dynamics among IFCs beyond broad-sweeping narrativesof path dependence and crisis.

New MA program in ”Pluralist Economics” at the University ofSiegen

MA in Pluralist Economics

The master program examines and considers economic phenomena from a variety ofdifferent approaches and is unique in its application of alternative traditions of thought.We aim to attract students who can reflect their own thinking of economics criticallyand who want to move beyond customary ways of thinking. The program offers two spe-cializations: ‘ Political Economy257 ’ as well as ‘ Management and Mitweltgestaltung258

’, the latter refers to students creative engagement into shaping society and organiza-tions. Students become acquainted with different approaches to business studies andeconomics in response to pressing current questions - starting with globalization andprocesses of sustainability up to social responsibility of enterprises. At the same timestudents are expected to develop innovative ideas independently and to think in newdirections. Teaching methodology is also pluralist in its approach. Students learn to re-flect economic relations and to discuss reasonably – instead of getting lost in formal andabstract elegance without practical relevance. Thus they become competent partners insocial discourse, for businesses and for politics.Scientific education also requires personaladvancement. An extensive mentoring program accompanying the program supportsstudents and fosters personal growth and social competencies. The Master’s programconsists of four semesters and the courses are held in German. The degree awarded uponsuccessful completion of the program is the Master of Arts.
