As promised to @g_m_hodgson & @ingridharvold I got myself a copy of Hodgson’s book e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/is-th…. It’s hard 2 do justice in a thread to the many arguments he makes, but I’ll try to engage. 1/
Among other things, a) Hodgson correctly points out that lack of raison d’etre 4 hetecon may be responsible 4 its marginalization. I also agree that b) agreement on a “core” among hetecons would be desirable. He also notes c) general neglect of micro (I’ll return 2 this). 2/
Reviewing various attempts at self-definition of heterodoxy, Hodgson looks at the late Fred Lee’s “political” project of gathering anti-capitalist economists under the heterodox umbrella as prone to failure; & Tony Lawson’s dichotomy b/w “open” and “closed” systems... 3/
How is heterodox economics relevant for understanding the world? How can hetecon theories, e.g. those of production & reproduction, help us understand both causes & consequences of #COVID__19? What are the gender, race & class implications of the pandemic?
