Economics is a contested academic discipline between
neoclassical economics and a collection of alternative approaches,
such as Marxism-radical economics, Institutional economics, Post
Keynesian economics, and others, that can collectively be called
heterodox economics. Because of the dominance of neoclassical
economics, the existence of the alternative approaches is generally
not known. This book is concerned with the community history of
heterodox economics, seen primarily through the eyes of
Marxian-radical economics and Post Keynesian economics.
Throughout the 20th century neoclassical economists in
conjunction with state and university power have attacked heterodox
economists and tried to cleanse them from the academy. Professor
Lee, his groundbreaking new title discusses issues including the
contested landscape of American economics in the 1970s, the
emergence and establishment of Post Keynesian economics in the US
and the development of heterodox economics in Britain from 1970 to
1996.
John F. Henry is an eminent economist who has made important
contributions to heterodox economics drawing on Adam Smith, Karl
Marx, Thorstein Veblen, and John Maynard Keynes. His historical
approach offers radical insights into the evolution of ideas
(ideologies and theories) giving rise to and/or induced by the
changes in capitalist society. Essays collected in this festschrift
not only evaluate John Henry's contributions in connection to
Marx's and Veblen's theories, but also apply them to the
socio-economic issues in the 21st century. In Part I leading
heterodox economists in the traditions of Marxism, Post
Keynesianism, and Institutionalism critically examine Marx's and
Veblen's theoretical frameworks (and their connections to each
other) that have become the foundations of heterodox economics.
Chapters in Part II showcase alternative theoretical explanations
inspired by Marx, Veblen, and Henry. Topics in this Part include
financial crisis, financialization, capital accumulation, economics
teaching, and the historical relationship between money and class
society. Part III is devoted to John Henry's heterodox economics
encapsulated in his "farewell" lecture, interview, and
bibliography. Essays in this book, individually and collectively,
make an important point that the history of economic thought (or
historical analysis of economic theory and policy) is an integral
part of developing heterodox economics as an alternative
theoretical framework. Anyone who is troubled by the recurring
failure of capitalism as well as mainstream economics will find
this book well worth reading.

To celebrate the centenary of the most radical union in North
America - The Industrial Workers of the World - this collection
examines radical economics and the labor movement in the 20th
Century. The union advocates direct action to raise wages and
increase job control, and it envisions the eventual abolition of
capitalism and the wage system through the general strike. The
contributors to this volume speak both to economists and to those
in the labor movement, and point to fruitful ways in which these
radical heterodox traditions have engaged and continue to engage
each other and with the labor movement. In view of the current
crisis of organized labor and the beleaguered state of the working
class-phenomena which are global in scope-the book is both timely
and important. Representing a significant contribution to the
non-mainstream literature on labor economics, the book reactivates
a marginalized analytical tradition which can shed a great deal of
light on the origins and evolution of the difficulties confronting
workers throughout the world. This volume will be of most interest
to students and scholars of heterodox economics, those involved
with or researching The Industrial Workers of the World, as well as
anyone interested in the more radical side of unions, anarchism and
labor organizations in an economic context.
