Heterodox Economics Newsletter-15

From the Editor

After a month’s break, the Heterodox Economics Newsletter is back. Top news items include the summer school and conference at UMKC in 2006, the seminar on heterodox microeconomics at UNAM in Mexico City, and lots of interesting books. Also of particular interest are the jobs postings. There is the one-day job market at the EAEPE 2005 Conference in Bremen, Germany, as well as two very interesting but quite different jobs for heterodox economists at Villanova and York Universities. Finally, I would like to put in a plug for the AFIT First Annual Student Scholars Award Competition which is described below. Such awards in their way help build the community of heterodox economists.

Crítica a la Economía Ortodoxa

Although this book is written in Spanish, I would like to give you a brief introduction in English:

Nowadays, economics are based on the so-called neoclassical approach. It actually has become the “mainstream economics”, marginating other possible explanation of the economic phenomenon.

“Crítica a la economía ortodoxa” is a reaction to this process. It is the result of the efforts of a group of economists that disappointed with the biased education received in their universities decided to revise this education to study its limits and lackness, as well as to study other approaches, currently marginated. To do so, they collected articles that reviewed not only currently neoclassical views, but also other schools of thought integrated in the orthodoxy.

We could probably make a different collection of articles, but for sure this book will be really useful for those that are unsatisfied with the biased views offered in most universities, by main politicians and by general communication media, that want to complete their education from a critical perspective.

Alejandro Miroli

Alejandro Miroli is a teacher of methodology of Social Sciences in the Economic Science faculty at UBA Argentina. He is interested in the philosophical issues of non-neoclassical economics and would like to have an exchange of papers, ideas, and class material with others. Linked to this is 3 of his papers. A very brief summary of his papers are given below. His e-mail address is alexmir@uolsinectis.com.ar.

Here there is a critique of the fundamental assumptions of conventional economic and its notion of practice. In this critique, Alejandro Miroli from economics department at UBA Argentina, analyzes the two basic assumptions of rationality and “economicity” generated and defended by neoclassical school, and shared by some heterodox authors. The author concludes that these two assumptions lack of empiric justification, and as a consequence, they limit the conventional economic science scope to validate its explanations and proposals in the praxis.

Aquí se tiene una crítica a los supuestos básicos de la ciencia económica convencional y su noción de práctica. En esta critica, Alejandro Miroli de la facultad de ciencias económicas de la universidad UBA, Argentina, analiza los supuestos fundamentales de racionalidad y de economicidad, que son generados y justificados por la escuela Neoclásica, y compartidos por una serie de autores heterodoxos. El autor llega a la conclusión de la falta de justificación empírica de ambos supuestos y como consecuencia, la limitación de la ciencia económica convencional para validarla la practica y propuestas ofrecidas.
