Abstract

In this review essay, I explore the first two of a planned 10 volumes of Ben Fine’s selected journal publications. The two are broadly concerned with economics imperialism before and after a ‘watershed’ (before which it is recognised for what it is and after which it is less so). I first set out what Fine means by economics imperialism. I then discuss a few examples of what heterodox economists have been talking about insofar as they were not (quite) talking about economics imperialism. This provides a useful segue into the specifics of Fine’s writings across the two volumes, and in two subsections, I separately survey the volumes. Finally, I conclude with some comment on the sense of unfinished business that hangs over constructive change.
