CharlieW Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 ... to discuss his latest book. Shameless plug for my own event here guys, hope you don't mind too much. Professor Andrew Kliman, world renowned economist from PACE University New York is coming to Sheffield on March 8th. He'll be discussing the topic of his latest book, 'The Failure of Capitalist Production' on a panel with Sheffield University Professor of economics, Jonathan Perraton. The meeting will be in Jessop West, the lovely multi-coloured building off the dual carriageway near the University Tram Stop, in the Exhibition Space at 7pm. There should also be an opportunity to purchase discount rate copies of the book. Hope to see people there- C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callippo Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 if anybody wants to see some Marxist perform on a stage, and given academic tenure and a good living by the liberal democracy the United States when dissidents like him in the Soviet Union would have been thrown into a gulag for 20 years, then go. Enjoy, even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Graham Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Is he Professor of Hindsight Economics at PACE? Was his last book called: The Failure of Socialist Economics In The Asian Tiger Economies (2007)? I understand his next book will be "Succeeding on the Bandwagon of Economics Books Writing and Speaking Tours" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieW Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Wow, you guys really are cards! The set-up is essentially a panel debate, with two well-respected leaders in their fields (Jonathan Perraton leads the way in Heteronormative Economics) going head to head over Andrew's thesis. So if you want to see a high quality discussion over some of the economic pitfalls of capitalism, along with a free and open discussion, then feel free to come on down... even if you are possessed of some of the backwards 'all economics critical of capitalism equates to Soviet-style state socialism' views expressed above!

I take it that somebody who thinks that there aren't any, particularly at least not when compared to the complete disaster Marxist economics is at every level, won't be allowed on stage?

CharlieW Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 errr, no? this is a university sponsored event, put on by an independent reading group in economics who Andrew happens to be in touch with. the panel is set, but if you've got questions the floor will be as free to you as anybody else.

Chris_Sleeps Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 ... particularly at least not when compared to the complete disaster Marxist economics is at every level To make life really complex, Marxist economics is not the same as Marxism. The USSR experimented with a free market at one point, called the New Economic Policy - a form of state capitalism. They had this for around 8 years, until Stalin deconstructed it in favour of a planned economy. China is in the mould of State Capitalism at the minute, or so one could argue.

CharlieW Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 and further to that, Marxist economics is arguably an analytical category rather than a defined set of economic policies... better suited for understanding capitalism than creating is own economic modelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
