HETERODOX
ECONOMICS INFORMATIONAL DIRECTORY
[Download
the 4th Edition (2011) of the Directory]
Informational
Directory for Heterodox Economists (hereafter, Directory) was first
published in January 2005 by Fred Lee, Steve Cohn, Goeffrey Schenider,
and Paddy Quick. The same editors published an updated edition of the
Directory in May 2005. The third edition (August 2008), edited by Fred
Lee, was significantly expanded with new sections on
“Introduction to Heterodox Economics,” and many
heterodox-oriented websites and institutions.
The
Directory together with Heterodox Economics Newsletter has been a
valuable resource for heterodox economists and students around the
world. It has made a remarkable contribution to the making of more
cohesive and friendly community of heterodox economists. To continue
the tradition set by former editors and to make it even more
informative, I have updated the Directory. The fourth edition has
incorporated not only new information announced in the issues of the
Heterodox Economics Newsletter published between September 2008 and
December 2010, but also many contributions by heterodox economists.
The first two
chapters of the Directory are devoted to heterodox economics programs.
In this edition, 40 heterodox graduate programs and 56 undergraduate
programs are listed. I believe there are still more heterodox economics
programs around the world. If your heterodox department is not listed
here, let us (and others) know. The chapter on heterodox journals now
includes all 62 major heterodox journals identified in the recent study
by Lee and Cronin (2010)1 as well as other interdisciplinary and
popular journals (total 151 journals). In the following chapter, the
list of publishers and book series has been expanded (31 publishers and
29 book series). In the penultimate chapter, heterodox associations,
blogs, institutes and other websites are listed with many new
additions. The final chapter, “100 Words on Heterodox
Economics,” is new to this edition. This chapter was part of
100th issue of the Heterodox Economics Newsletter (May 2010). To
celebrate the 100th issue of the Newsletter, Editors asked about 100
heterodox economists around the world, representing their school of
thought, institution, association, country, or region, about the
current state and future of heterodox economics. Although the response
rate was low, we received very interesting and enlightening responses
from prominent heterodox economists. Young heterodox economists, in
particular, should listen to what “old” heterodox
economists are saying about the current and future of heterodox
economics.
Lastly, I owe thanks to Nicola Matthews, my first graduate student at
Buffalo State College and now a doctoral student at the University of
Missouri–Kansas City. Without her assistance this edition
couldn’t be completed.
