In order to address discrimination, we must understand and address its fundamental basis of systemic oppression. Stratification economics goes beyond myopic mainstream conceptualisations of discrimination and recognises the historical, institutional, and structural factors that create and maintain socioeconomic disparities and hierarchies. To critically approach the economics of discrimination, this workshop will focus on stratification economics, a systematic and empirically grounded approach to addressing intergroup inequality (Darity, 2005). Focusing on racial discrimination, we will discuss the core elements of stratification economics, critically evaluate its relevance, and apply these understandings to construct case studies and solutions for change. In our discussions, we will consider an array of topics, including intersecting oppressions, reparative justice, and the role of knowledge production in overcoming injustice and creating a better world. 2022 Level: beginner Economics of Discrimination Tanita Lewis Summer Academy 2022 for Pluralist Economics Commons stand for a plurality of practices ‘beyond market and state’ as the famous Commons scholar – and first female noble prize winner of economics - Elinor Ostrom put it.

Smith Reaktion Books In a capitalist system, consumers, investors, and corporations orient their activities toward a future that contains opportunities and risks. How actors assess uncertainty is a problem that economists have tried to solve through general equilibrium and rational expectations theory. Powerful as these analytical tools are, they underestimate the future's unknowability by assuming that markets, in the aggregate, correctly forecast what is to come. 2016 Level: advanced Imagined Futures Jens Beckert Harvard University Press Those who control the world’s commanding economic heights, buttressed by the theories of mainstream economists, presume that capitalism is a self-contained and self-generating system. 2021 Level: beginner Capital and Imperialism Utsa Patnaik, Prabhat Patnaik NYU Press Pluriverse: A Post-Development Dictionary contains over one hundred essays on transformative initiatives and alternatives to the currently dominant processes of globalized development, including its structural roots in modernity, capitalism, state domination, and masculinist values. 2019 Level: beginner Pluriverse: A Post-Development Dictionary Ashish Kothari, Ariel Salleh, Arturo Escobar, Alberto Acosta, Federico Demaria Tulika Books and Authorsupfront This book discloses the economic foundations of European fiscal and monetary policies by introducing readers to an array of alternative approaches in economics.

A societal transformation towards a degrowth society is dependent on a lot of ideas coming together and creating change from various starting points within a society. Therefore, the authors are quite diverse and their contributions vary from being philosophical, natural science based, economic, sociological and so forth. Some are specfiically focused on a concept and others are a more broad critique of e.g., capitalism or growth. 2015 Level: advanced Degrowth Giacomo D'Alisa, Federico Demaria, Giorgos Kallis Routledge Finance.

Careful study of the theories of Marxists and the real-world experience in the Soviet economy offer important lessons and insight for economic modeling and the ongoing development of theory. In this course, Marxist/Leninist theory and Soviet reality will be studied with an open mind, and with the goal of taking lessons from the case study. To what extent was the Soviet economy an accurate expression of Marxist theory? If Marxism were tried somewhere else would the results be the same? 2014 Level: advanced Economic History of the Soviet Union Guinevere Liberty Nell University of Warwick The course will teach students to analyze the goals, implementation, and outcomes of economic policy. 2018 Level: advanced Advanced Economic Policy 2 Alyssa Schneebaum Vienna University of Economics and Business How has financialisation changed saving What are its implications on a macro economic level and from a welfare state perspective Craig Berry I PEEL 2017 Level: beginner Saving Craig Berry I-PEEL Deforestation is estimated to be responsible for about 12-29% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Maike Pfeiffer Pluralist Economics Fellowship Özlem Onaran analyses the current problems of secular stagnation from a global perspective. At the core of global economic problems is insufficient demand caused by falling wage shares, because most individual countries, and the world as a whole are “wage-led”. Hence a strategy for global growth is to aim at increasing wages and thus the wage share, and the abandonment of policies focusing purely on national competitiveness. Financialization has broken the link between corporate profitability and investment. Reregulation of finance and higher public investment is required in order to crowd in private investment, in this way, reversing the declining trend of potential output growth. 2015 Level: advanced Current Problems of Secular Stagnation from a Global Perspective Özlem Onaran IMK In this paper the main developments in post-Keynesian macroeconomics since the mid- 1990s will be reviewed. For this purpose the main differences between heterodox economics in general, including post-Keynesian economics, and orthodox economics will be reiterated and an overview over the strands of post-Keynesian economics, their commonalities and developments since the 1930s will be outlined. This will provide the grounds for touching upon three important areas of development and progress of post-Keynesian macroeconomics since the mid-1990s: first, the integration of distribution issues and distributional conflict into short- and long-run macroeconomics, both in theoretical and in empirical/applied works; second, the integrated analysis of money, finance and macroeconomics and its application to changing institutional and historical circumstances, like the process of financialisation; and third, the development of full-blown macroeconomic models, providing alternatives to the mainstream 'New Consensus Model' (NCM), and allowing to derive a full macroeconomic policy mix as a more convincing alternative to the one implied and proposed by the mainstream NCM, which has desperately failed in the face of the recent crises. 2012 Level: advanced Post-Keynesian macroeconomics since the mid-1990s: Main developments Eckhart Hein Institute for International Political Economy Berlin The effects of the 2020 pandemic on the Latin-American region: a thorough before-after analysis. 2020 Level: beginner COVID-19 and Economic Development in Latin America SOAS Open Economics Forum, SOAS Economics Department, Tobias Franz SOAS University of London Foundational economy is the most important concept you have never heard of.
