URPE at Fifty: Reflections on a Half Century of Activism, Community, Debate (and a Few Crazy Moments)

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Nearly a dozen Union for Radical Political Economics (URPE) members, including founders and activists (past and present), review URPE’s history and legacy, including its political activism, hilarious past, and moving moments. Born in the turbulent 1960s, URPE changed scholars’ lives by providing a platform and community to discuss Left economic work, meet lifelong collaborators and friends, and receive much-needed encouragement and support in a hostile profession. It has broadened, altered, and improved scholarship and the economics profession.
