Handbook of Alternative Theories of Political Economy
Schumpeterian economics focuses on the complex and potentially contradictory nature of the relationships between technological progress, economic growth, and social development within the context of capitalist economies. This chapter shows how such a perspective is developed, critically engaging with both mainstream economics and the recent Neo-Schumpeterian Economics (NSE) literature. It is argued that, contrary to other heterodox economic schoo…
The Future for Political Economy
The future for political economists depends not only on their engagement in intellectual critique and the provision of alternatives to mainstream economics: it also requires attention to vision, strategy, and organisation. Each of these aspects is explored in this article, with the overall aim of developing a systematic approach to advancing political economy during the next few decades. It posits a shared commitment to pluralism as the key to in…
From Economics to Political Economy
The nature of the challenge to mainstream economics needs to be carefully considered. This article presents an overview of the challenge, emphasizing that it is not just a matter of heterodox economists developing non-neoclassical economic theories. The embrace of a pluralist method and pedagogy is equally significant. The development of a transdisciplinary approach adds further to the breadth of the challenge. Weaving these elements together as …
Social justice and the city
David Harvey’s pioneering book Social Justice and the City (1973) takes its readers on a fascinating journey, from a mainstream liberal view of the city to a radical political economic alternative
Security of tenure in international development discourse
The global campaign for secure land tenure is being championed by the international development community through the world development agencies which advocate a particular interpretation of 'security of tenure'. Yet, this article shows that there are many meanings of secure tenure and multiple ways of ensuring that tenure is secure. It suggests that, by ignoring other legal, economic and social interpretations and mechanisms for enhancing securi…

Teaching Political Economy
Frank Stilwell’s article “Teaching Political Economy: Making a Difference?” reflects upon the different challenges and outcomes of teaching political economy. Economics as a discipline is important and has a real impact on citizen awareness of economic issues and on political policy: many undergrad and graduate students go on to hold important positions in state administrations. The author notes the tendency in the economics curriculum taught in …
Crises, interventions and profits
Crises and interventions often generate opportunities for profitable business activities. This can have a significant effect on the outcomes of interventions. This article explores how economic interests can create crises and how the nature of interventions may be shaped by business interests. It looks further at the macroeconomic consequences of crises, the possibilities of corruption and neo-imperialism. Reference is made to examples of crises …
The Struggle for Political Economy at the University of Sydney
There has been a long struggle to establish political economy courses at the University of Sydney. It began more than three decades ago as a student-staff movement challenging the dominance of neoclassical economics in the undergraduate curriculum. It has matured into an established program of undergraduate and postgraduate studies, based on Marxian, institutionalist post-Keynesian, feminist, and environmentalist analyses. During the struggle, ke…
Higher Education, Commercial Criteria and Economic Incentives
Commercial criteria are being increasingly used for restructuring higher education. They influence both broad institutional policies and the incentive structures facing individual academics. However, the underlying presumption of an association between efficiency and competitive market processes is problematic. The 'economic rationalist' model is shown to be inappropriate for higher education. It awkwardly combines market principles with corporat…

Capital accumulation and regional economic performance
The accumulation of capital is the driving force of the capitalist economy. Various conditions are necessary for accumulation to proceed and each has important spatial aspects. The paper demonstrates that an analysis of these aspects provides a potentially useful framework for understanding the relationship between regional development and economic growth, with particular reference to the Australian experience. Moreover, it is shown that spatial …

Competing Analyses of the Spatial Aspects of Capitalist Development
An adequate understanding of the process of urban and regional development under capitalism has been impeded by the orthodox analysis. This paper outlines a more appropriate framework for the study of spatial aspects of the capitalist system, using concepts from Marxian analysis. Particular emphasis is placed on the role played by urban and regional development in establishing the necessary conditions for continued capital accumulation, viz. expa…

Further thoughts on the shift and share approach
Stilwell F. J. B. (1970) Further thoughts on the shift and share approach, Reg. Studies 4, 451–458. This article is a general appraisal of the contribution of the shift and share analysis to the study of regional growth. The technique itself is shown to have little relevance to the theory of regional growth. However, the organization of information achieved by the shift and share method is useful in the analysis of historical data on either popul…
Regional Growth and Structural Adaptation
The relationship between regional growth differentials and regional differences in industrial composition is frequently analysed in terms of a standardisation technique known as shift and share analysis. Such an approach is subject to a number of limitations, including its inability to identify the impact on regional growth of changes in industrial composition during the time period under consideration. A modification to this technique is present…
