Dear users, today we have a very personal request. We have decided to offer our learning materials free of charge because we believe in an open, pluralist economic science that is available to everyone, worldwide. We do this without advertising because we want to remain independent of commercial interests. But our commitment to independence and open access also has its price. Every year we have large costs for programming, staff and to support our authors. If everyone reading this gave a small amount, we could keep Exploring Economics thriving for years to come - but 99% of our users don't give. So today we ask you to protect Exploring Economics's independence. The heart and soul of Exploring Economics is a community of people working to bring you unlimited access to high-qualitiy, economic learning and teaching material. Please take just a few moments to help us keep Exploring Economics going. Thank you!

Essays in the History of Heterodox Political Economy
Blurb
This book is a collection of articles on topics and individuals within the history of heterodox economic thought, approached from a heterodox perspective. The principal topics are the nature and scope of economics as an intellectual venture; realistic theories of the economic role of government, including the economy as a system of power and its legal bases; and economics as "psychic balm," professionalized discourse, and social control. Among the individuals whose work is singled out are Edward Bellamy, Thorstein Veblen, Edwin E. Witte, Robert Lee Hale, John Kenneth Galbraith, Thurman Arnold, Gardiner C. Means, and Joan Robinson.
