Text of the page (random words):
s instead simpson shows the economy is dynamic complex and never in equilibrium the heart of simpson s analysis is his engagement with complexity theory briefly put complexity theory posits that the actions of multiple actors give rise to emergent large scale structures and processes complex systems have five major attributes they are dynamic and nonlinear individual agents within such systems learn adaptively over time agents interact with each other explicitly and directly macro patterns emerge from a multitude of micro interactions between many agents and complex systems evolve through processes of differentiation selection and amplification thus in simpson s view the economy has more in common with biological systems than classical physics while others like brian arthur view the economy in much the same way simpson makes two important and novel contributions first as his title suggests complexity economics is not new it was how 19th century economists at least up to marshall thought the economy worked and the insights of complexity economics bear a striking resemblance to some of the work of the austrian school second simpson argues for a renewed embrace of history and context over mathematical formalism simpson takes as a telling example the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent near depression that occurred despite that most equilibrium economists thought that panics and depressions were things of the past having been mastered by keynesianism and the efficient market hypothesis in turn this book distills simpson s career in economics spanning nearly 40 years simpson has served in academia industry and government giving him a unique and broad perspective on the theory and practice of economics it is perceptive thought provoking and engagingly written it will be a welcome addition to the libraries of anyone interested in the history of economic thought as well as the roots of our current economic crisis david hochfelder history department

greek parliament part 1 political origins in this blog series yuan yang writes about her encounters with the greek parliament s feminist economists this week she describes the political and academic origins of antigone lyberaki and rania antonopoulos when there are so few critical economists in politics and so few women it is emboldening to meet two feminist economists in one place the greek parliament antigone lyberaki is from the centrist party to potami the river and rania antonopoulos is from the left coalition syriza both were recently elected in the stunning january 2015 elections which saw syriza claim 149 seats one short of an absolute majority and brought several smaller parties such as to potami into parliament antigone lyberaki is a feminist economist who has written extensively on economic policy and used to lecture at the university of panteion in athens she offered to meet me at the door of the airbnb apartment i was staying at in the university district of panepistimou as i emerged she smiled at me and looked at the front door curiously how did you find this place she asks and i explain that it was via a website when i was a student forty years ago i used to come here several times a week every week for meetings of the pro european communist party of greece this very door yes this very door on the first floor we had a party magazine we had debates we had meetings the rooms on the first floor are now padlocked and barricaded with chains mural in central athens april 2015 have your political views changed since university i ask antigone i no longer believe in the abolition of private property she replies but i do believe in the overall goal of a free and equal society her methods have changed not her objectives she is attempting to achieve such egalitarian objectives through her position as to potami s parliamentary representative being a parliamentary representative means that antigone has more opportunities to take the floor when she wants to intervene in parliamentary debate that she gets a longer time limit and that she can raise any political issue in parliament regardless of the topic set for that day s discussion as a member of a small party antigone is kept on her feet rania antonopoulos now syriza s alternate minister for labour also became awake to politics as a student activist in the pro european greek communist party in 1974 when the greek dictatorship ended there was a moment of mass mobilisation rania recalls the student movement rose up particularly in the polytechnic universities it was impossible not to be politicised like many fellow students i joined the youth branch of the communist party of the interior because of that i started reading books about economics such as marx s das kapital i felt marx explained so much about my life i became determined to understand the economy both rania and antigone were surprised by their election to the greek parliament and both had to put down their textbooks to take up their posts i had no expectation that i would be elected said antigone this was my first election and my first experience of parliamentary politics i stood for a very wide constituency which meant i had to win over 10 000 votes i don t live in my constituency of outer athens and so all my friends are from outside the constituency i didn t think i d win by a margin of 2 500 rania too describes the moment she realised she was almost certainly going to have a seat in parliament since she was placed second on the party list of mps who would be automatically elected if syriza won i suddenly thought to myself i ll need to book a flight she says describing leaving her home in new york where she has lived her whole adult life to return to athens she had studied at the new school for social research and before her return to athens was director of the levy institute s research program on gender equality and the economy how then do they explain their unexpected elections it was the television interviews that did it for me says antigone i reached many people and i spoke clearly and frankly has she had any training no training not at all she says i m used to giving lectures and classes of course i m used to having a person in front of you and you learn how to react to their facial expressions when they re getting bored or confused when you need to slow down speed up i think to myself of all the economics lecturers i ve had who never seemed to realise they had a living audience after my first few interviews my friends in the media would call me up and say antigone you need to talk more slowly you need to drop these words you need to stop wearing that shirt with the stripes i learned from remarkably similar backgrounds left wing student politics leading them into careers as academic economists both rania and antig one have been drawn back into politics in a professional capacity what happens when feminist economists stop writing about gender equality in labour markets and the financial crisis in academic journals a nd starting writing policy what does feminist economic policy look like and do feminist economists always agre e part 2 will

turin written by alberto mola rethinking economics bocconi turin on the 28th of march rethinking economics italia took part in the organization of biennale democrazia the prestigious cultural festival held every two years in turin with the aim of discussing and spreading a culture of democracy for a period of five days crowds of young and old people drowned the city taking part in workshops seminars and debates on offer at the event concerning democracy pluralism and sociological and economic issues so how could there not be an event arranged by re italia pluralism in fact has always been one of the fundamental principles on which the italian democracy together with those of most western countries was founded the event was also a chance for the organizers of the newborn rethinking economics groups spread all over italy to meet and discuss future projects the participants came from the groups set up at luiss university rome bocconi university milan university of bologna university of bergamo university cattolica del sacro cuore milan plus members of the national group from the universities of genoa and of pavia rethinking economics italia organised a debate entitled the limits of the market focusing on the market its mode of operation and its limits with colin crouch emeritus professor at warwick university elena granaglia professor of social justice and markets at roma tre university and nicolò fraccaroli founder of re italia as moderator given the political and sociological background of crouch and the philosophical and juridical one of granaglia the event was an interesting opportunity to deal with economics from an interdisciplinary perspective interdisciplinarity being one of the three pluralisms proposed by the isipe manifesto both speakers agreed that the market cannot limit and auto regulate itself because every player can influence the sphere of freedom of others so everybody in the market employs a kind of power therefore if the market is a confrontation of powers it should be regulated elena granaglia added that a competitive market is a political construction and that there has to be an authority that defines its rules in order to create it a market therefore is not a natural occurrence the debate continued to address the supposed trickle down effect and the role of economic research in addressing real political economic choices elena granaglia said that in order to measure inequality income and in general important indexes we have to define them and different interpretations can have significant consequences for the results it is therefore not possible to divide philosophical questions from those posed by the science of economics moreover even research that seems to belong to some kind of positive economics analysing things for what they are contains normative choices the last question was more focused on the reform that rethinking economics is trying to enact one of the chapters of crouch s latest book is titled we are all partly neoliberals explaining that a reaction to this partial society wide homogeneity should come from pluralism in politics nicolò fraccaroli asked crouch whether this could come from pluralism in economic education too crouch agreed clarifying that across centuries scientific progress has proceeded toward a continuously deeper specialisation shaping the new figures of the experts the technocrats but the deeper we go into specialisation crouch said the more we lose the links between these specialisations for crouch then it is necessary to recover a multidisciplinary approach in economic teaching economic research has also to consider contributions from other disciplines in order to be able to explain the complexity of the real world posted by anonymous at 13 21

2014 university of greenwich revises its economics programmes to enhance pluralism and real world economics received from sara gorgoni university of greenwich department of international business and economics programme leader the 24th of november was an important day for the economists at the university of greenwich when four programmes in economics offered by the department of international business and economics bsc hons economics bsc hons economics with banking ba hons business economics and ba hons economics with language were successfully reviewed every day all over the country undergraduate programmes get reviewed and revalidated so normally this is not something worth making too much fuss about but this time is different our revised programmes are different why so you may ask the revised programmes were commended for the enthusiasm and development of new material by the teaching team showing a flexible and responsive approach to the current environment as well as taking a leading role in the sector that is they were praised for leading changes in the way economics is taught the last seven years have not been easy for the global economy as well as the teaching
