London School of Economics
A series of evening events beginning this week coming:
Today's events suggest the need for a sea-change in our
understanding of economic life, taking us beyond the economics of
nations and politics into a landscape in which the economic life is
seen as a single global reality and the concern of humanity as a
whole, rather than particular classes, groups or countries. Three
evenings (comprising two sessions) providing an introduction to
associative economics, an approach that uses Rudolf Steiner's
economic insights into the place of economics in human history,
especially today, and the deeper meaning of market forces,
corporations and finance.
Topics covered include economic history, the role of corporations,
the for- profit / not-for-profit divide, taxation, monetary policy,
accounting and modern finance.

Governance of the Modern Firm
11-13 December 2008
Current developments in financial markets are shaking up our
economies. Large-scale takeovers, such as the ABN Amro takeover by
RBS, Santander and Fortis, appear hard to digest. America's most
important investment banks, usually at the heart of the world's most
challenging -not to say speculative- investments, have stumbled into
default. Meanwhile, workers and the public at large appear to be
mere bystanders, despite the fact that it is them who have to foot
the bill. Governments appear to be shaken in their free market
beliefs, even to the extent that nationalisations are on the agenda
again. Sturdy re-regulations of financial markets are widely
expected.
It is against this background that Utrecht University has been able
to get together some of the world's most prominent experts to set
the stage for panel discussions in a high-level academic and
professional conference. The discussion will zoom in on the law,
economics and governance aspects of such issues as shareholder
activism, hedge fund arbitrage, private equity risks and the
position of workers and regulatory authorities amidst the hectic
developments of today as well as the designof regulatory policies
for tomorrow.
The conference Governance of the Modern Firm will be held from 11 to
13 December 2008 in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Early bird
registration is possible up till October 31th.
Further information about the programme can be obtained from Wilco
Oostwouder (Dept. of Law) or Hans Schenk (Dept. of Economics). For
information
about registration and payment, please contact Mrs. Andrea
Blokland-de Vries at the FBU Conference Office.

Marx and the Credit Crunch
Public Meeting
Tuesday October 21st
7pm Conway Hall, Red Lion Square
Istvan Mezsaros, author of Beyond Capital Chris Harman, editor,
International Socialism journal Richard Brenner, author of The
Credit Crunch - a Marxist Analysis
A global credit crunch. Banks collapsing. Prices soaring. Recession
looming.
Conventional economic theory appears to have no coherent
explanation. Government stumps up hundreds of billions to rescue the
bankers - and demands that working people's pay be held down and
spending cut on public services. At this meeting, three Marxist
writers examine the roots of this great crisis in the nature of
capital itself. Tracing the current crisis to its origins, they show
how workers can resist paying the price for a crisis they never
made, and set out the case for systemic change.
Buddhist Economics Conference
Registration Information
There is a 20% discount on your registration fee available for
registering before November 1, 2008.
http://buddhist-economics.info/
There are some other new things related to the conference that might
interest you:
- The opening address of the conference will be given by Phra
Payutto, author of Buddhist Economics A Middle Way in the Market
Place. Phra Payutto is not in good health at the moment and his
address has been videoed for the conference. CDs of that
presentation (sub-titled in Thai) will be available for 100 baht.
- For those who are particularly interested in meeting Phra Payutto,
he has agreed to meet with a small group after the conference and
Ajarn Apichai is making arrangements to take a group to see him. If
you are interested in being a part of this group, contact
Linda
Nowakowski immediately. There are a limited number of spaces for
this event.
- Although the conference is in English, we will have translation
services available. There is one event at the Ratchathani Asoke
Community on Saturday night that may require Thai to English
translation. We hope that this will encourage Thai participants who
are interested in learning what is happening in Buddhist Economics
outside of Thailand.
- Those of you who have looked at the web site know that there is
another conference December 1-3, 2008 at Mahidol University, Salaya
Campus on
Buddhism in the Age of Consummerism. Ajarn Pinit, who is the
organizer of that conference, has offered to waive the registration
fee for any one registered at our conference. Please look at the
impressive schedule for this conference and consider attending it as
well.
- We will have a number of publishers who are publishing books
related to Buddhist Economics and socially engaged Buddhism at the
conference.
The conference is less than 2 months away and I am looking forward
to this amazing convergence of East and West.

Worse than They Want You to Think:
A Marxist Analysis of the Economic Crisis
A talk by Andrew Kliman
Tuesday, October 21 at 7:00 p.m.
New York City
In their haste to promote redistributive policies and demonize the
greed and corruption of Wall Street--and in their desire to avoid
advocating a liberatory alternative to capitalism--liberals and
leftists have sought to downplay the severity of the current
economic crisis. In contrast, Kliman will argue that the crisis is
every bit as serious and acute as the fear-mongering financial
analysts and officials at the Treasury and Federal Reserve say it
is. If the $800 billion rescue plan does not quickly restore
lenders' confidence in the system, the flow of credit may stop,
causing the real economy, in the U.S. and abroad, to seize up.
Income redistribution, infrastructure investment, financial
regulation, and legal protections against foreclosures are not
alternatives to the Wall Street bailout. The only alternative is a
new, human, socio-economic system.
Kliman will draw on Karl Marx's value theory in order to explain how
the crisis results from the weakness of the U.S. economy since the
collapse of the dot-com bubble. He will also draw on Raya
Dunayevskaya's theory of state-capitalism in order to explain why
supposedly "free-market" policymakers and economists are ushering in
a new period of statified property and state control of the economy.
Andrew Kliman, professor of economics at Pace University, is the
author of _Reclaiming Marx's "Capital": A Refutation of the Myth of
Inconsistency_ and a member of the New SPACE Organizing Committee.
He has written two essays on the current economic crisis, "Trying to
Save Capitalism from Itself" (April 25,
www.marxisthumanismtoday.org) and "A Crisis of Confidence" (Aug. 23,
International Socialism journal, Issue no. 120,
www.isj.org.uk ).

Heterodox Conference Papers and Reports and Articles
Economic Stimulus and Economically
Distressed Workers
by Michael Zweig, Junyi Zhu, and Daniel Wolman
As the financial crisis on Wall Street unfolds with intense media
coverage, we are losing sight of another crisis: more than a million
families across the United States will face foreclosure in the next
six months as the last of the sub-prime mortgages contracted in 2006
and early 2007 reset. 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.

The Political Economy of Global
Security
War, Future
Crises and Changes in Global Governance
Series: Rethinking Globalizations
Heikki Patomäki, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia
Available in paperback for the first time, this book provides an
innovative study of future wars, crises and transformations of the
global political economy. It brings together economic theory,
political economy, peace and conflict research, philosophy and
historical analogy to explore alternatives for the future.
Patomäki develops a bold, original and thought provoking political
economy analysis of the late 20th century neo-liberalisation and
globalisation and their real effects, which he describes as a 21st
century version imperialism. In order for us to understand global
security and to anticipate the potential threats and crises, he
argues that a holistic understanding and explanation of history is
necessary and demonstrates that a systematic causal analysis of
structures and processes is required. Putting this theory into
practice, Patomäki constructs a comparative explanatory model which
traces the rise of imperialism in the late 19th century and
culminated in the First World War. He argues that even a partial
return to the 19th century ideals and practices is very likely to be
highly counterproductive in the 21st century world and could become
a recipe for a major global catastrophe.

VIOLENCE: Actually Existing Barbarism
[Socialist Register 2009]
Editors: LEO PANITCH and COLIN LEYS
Violence in every possible form dominates current headlines and
people's fears.
Understanding it has never been more urgently needed.
This volume offers an insight into contemporary violence that the
mainstream media - and even mainstream cinema - shrinks from
providing of state violence, on inner cities, on prisons and the
violence committed almost everywhere by men against women
It considers:
• sources- imperialism, globalised capitalism • legacies- of
habituation, insecurity and hatred, • dynamics-
politically-motivated violence, terror; and • conditions- the
superabundance of weapons, etc.

Money and Liberation
The Micropolitics of Alternative Currency Movements
Peter North
A firsthand view of local currencies that are providing alternatives
to global capital.
Is conventional money simply a discourse? Is it merely a socially
constructed unit of exchange? If money is not an actual thing, are
people then free to make collective agreements to use other forms of
currency that might work more effectively for them? Proponents of
“better money” argue that they have created currencies that value
people more than profitability, ensuring that human needs are met
with reasonable costs and decent wages—and supporting local
economies that emphasize local sustainability. How did proponents
develop these new economies? Are their claims valid?
Grappling with these questions and more, Money and Liberation
examines the experiences of groups who have tried to build a more
equitable world by inventing new forms of money. Presenting in-depth
profiles of the trading networks that have been constructed both
historically and more recently, including Local Exchange Trading
Schemes (England), Green Dollars (New Zealand), Talente (Hungary),
and the barter system in Argentina, Peter North shows how the use of
currency has been redefined as part of political action, revealing
surprising political ambiguity and a nuanced understanding of the
potential and limits on alternative currencies as a resistance
practice.
“You will find inspiration and information in this excellent book.”
—GreenWorld
“If ever there was a single time or place for thinking about
economic alternatives, including ways of representing economic
geography outside the globalization narrative, here and now offers a
suitably propitious moment to consider Peter North’s excellent book
on Money and Liberation. This book offers a passionate an yet
appropriately sanguine investigation into the alternative
geographies of economics. It amounts to a significant contribution
to rethinking the economy outside pre-given relational narrative
frameworks of capital flows and globalization.” —Economic Geography
“It is rare that you read a book so good—so incisive in its
analysis, radical in its prescriptions, and thorough in its
evidence—that it makes you not only envious but quite literally
angry that you did not write it yourself. I found Pete North’s new
book on money that good. He has traveled widely in space and time to
bring a depth of analysis missing from other books which cover some
of the same territory.” —Review of International Political Economy
“Peter North’s optimistic argument should help to reinvigorate and
redirect the discussion of economic alternatives for a long time to
come.” —Economic Geography
Peter North is lecturer in geography at the University of Liverpool.

Gate 5" room in the Hilton Hotel from 2:30-4:00 p.m. on Friday,
January 2, 2009. While only members can vote, anybody interest in
pluralism in economics and want to know more about ICAPE is welcome
to attend. ICAPE is also co-sponsoring the ASE Plenary session at
the ASSA, as noted in ‘From the Editor’. Finally, ICAPE is again
paying for a booth at the ASSA. Associations, institutes,
individuals, etc. who would like to use the booth to promote
whatever, please contact me. The ASSA booth costs around $2,000. If
you think that a booth at the ASSA that promotes pluralism in
economics is important, then financial support of ICAPE is
important. If you have any questions about ICAPE or want to get
involved in its activities, please send me an e-mail (

The HEN-IRE-FPH Project
The HEN-IRE-FPH Project for
Developing Heterodox Economics and Rethinking the Economy Through
Debate and Dialogue
The Heterodox Economics Newsletter, The International Initiative for
Rethinking the Economy (IRE), and the Charles Leopold Mayer
Foundation for the Progress of Humankind (FPH) (
www.fph.ch ) have undertaken a joint
project to promote the development of heterodox economics. It
involves publishing in the Newsletter reviews, analytical summaries,
or commentary of articles, books, book chapters, theses,
dissertations, government reports, etc. that relate to the following
themes: diversity of economic approaches, regulation of goods and
services, currency and finance, and trade regimes. These themes
relate to heterodox economics and to the open and pluralistic
intellectual debates in economics. It is hoped that the reviews will
contribute to strengthening the community of heterodox economists,
and to the development of heterodox economic theory through the
dissemination of ideas/arguments. The final aim of this project is
to help heterodox economists come up with proposals, both
theoretical and applied, that would help adapt the economy to the
challenges facing humankind. The reviews will be published in the
Newsletter and will also be put on the IRE website
http://www.i-r-e.org. For
further information about the project, material available for
reviewing, and about reviewing the material click
here.
Anyone interested in contributing to and reviewing material for the
HEN-IRE-FPH project should contact Fred Lee, Editor of the
Newsletter by email ( leefs@umkc.edu
). I am particularly interested in getting recommendations of
material that should be reviewed.

Heterodox Economics in
Argentina
by Escuelas de Economía Política (EsEP) (
esep_fce@yahoo.com.ar )
In Argentina, we have a few associations called "Escuelas de
Economía Política" (it translates to something like "Political
Economy Schools". There are two of them currently, in different
cities (Buenos Aires and La Plata), which exist since 2003; and
another one is being created in Bahía Blanca. They exist in
Universities in which a group of teachers and students, tired of
neo-classical programs, have decided to take Political Economy
teaching into their hands. We organize (free and open to the public,
of course) workshops and lectures on several topics, including
neo-classical economics (because we believe even that part of our
education is flawed) but focusing mainly on classics and current
heterodox streams. Both Schools have
organized last year what we called "I Jornadas de Economía Crítica"
("First Conference on Critical Economy"), which took place in La
Plata over two days, a year ago. Almost two hundred critical
economists and students assisted and many of them have stayed in
touch this whole year, sharing opinions and works in progress in
some cases. This led to both Schools being an important part of this
year's organization of the SEPLA Conference. We don't have a website
(yet... been working on one this year, but we don't have a domain)
and we don't have any offices, we are just a few dozens economists
working on our spare time to try to create some critical thinking
among Argentinean economists. We do have an e-mail:

Après les attaques du même Monde contre les "fitusso-keynesiano-

NEP: New Economics
Papers
Dear NEP subscriber,
I am the founder of NEP: New Economics Papers. Today, I am sending
you a special announcement on behalf of the NEP team. It is the
first ever in NEP's ten year old history.
We are pleased to let you know that NEP reports are now available
via RSS feeds. The feeds are the work of David Hugh-Jones, see
http://davidhughjones.googlepages.com/. RSS began as a way
forreaders to easily read updates in blogs, but now many other types
of media, e.g. newspapers use them. The most recent versions of
Firefox and Internet Explorer can read RSS feeds, as can specialized
web sites like Google Reader, Bloglines, My Yahoo, iGoogle. Man find
reading RSS feeds preferable to reading e-mail. Of course, NEP
reports are still available via email.
To subscribe to an RSS feed, go to http://nep.repec.org/ and click
on your chosen report. Then click on the orange icon in your
browser's address bar, or on the "RSS feed" link in the web page
itself.
While on the NEP web page, check out whether you would be interested
in reports other than the one(s) you are subscribed to. And if you
can think of some field that is missing, you can become the founding
editor of a new report. Send your ideas to Marco Novarese as <
director@nep.repec.org
>.
Papers announced on NEP come from bibliographic data submitted to
RePEc. To have your own working papers listed on RePEc, use your
institution's RePEc archive. There are over 900 RePEc archives out
there. If your institution does not have an archive, You can submit
your papers to the Munich Personal RePEc archive at
http://mpra.repec.org/.
RePEc is an effort trying to improve the dissemination of research
in Economics. All its service are free, thanks to a large number of
contributors. Visit http://repec.org/

This Economy
Does Not Compute
By MARK BUCHANAN
Notre-Dame-de-Courson, France
A FEW weeks ago, it seemed the financial crisis wouldn’t spin
completely out of control. The governmentbknew what it was doing —
at least the economic experts were saying so — and the Treasury had
taken a stand against saving failing firms, letting Lehman Brothers
file for bankruptcy. But since then we’ve had the rescuevof the
insurance giant A.I.G., the arranged sale of failing banks and we’ll
soon see, in one form or another, the biggest taxpayer bailout of
Wall Street in history. It seems clear that no one really knows what
is coming next.
