Heterodox Economics Working Group

Heterodox economics offers a unique vision, analytical lenses, and policy insights which enrich the study and management of capitalism.

Cultivating a local community of heterodox economists connected with global heterodox communities is key to the health and survival of heterodox economics in Pakistan.

Like teaching, community and research elsewhere, teaching, community and research in heterodox economics in Pakistan (or by Pakistani economists) will either thrive together or whither away together.

Working on developing post-capitalist institutional and organizational forms is a crucial part of the broader work of heterodox economics.

Nurture and support heterodox economics and economists in Pakistan (and Pakistani heterodox economists)

Provide the scientific community of heterodox economists of Pakistan an organizational platform for their professional work, development and networking

Help connect heterodox economists to global heterodox economics communities

Support a heterodox understanding of the Pakistani political economy through feminist economics, Post Keynesianism, Marxian economics, institutionalism, and other heterodox forms of economics which constitute a pluralist heterodoxy

Encourage the study of and research in the history, methodology and philosophy of economics

Consolidate and develop educational resources which teachers of economics can deploy in undergraduate and graduate level classrooms

Provide opportunities for students and the public to learn about heterodox economics through blogs, newsletters, and summer/winter schools
