The Review of Radical Political Economics at Its Half Century: A Retrospective

Author

Listed:
  • Howard M. Wachtel

Abstract

Fifty years on, the Review of Radical Political Economics ( RRPE ) lives on against the odds that such a quixotic 1968 adventure could survive for half a century. As the first managing editor of the RRPE and one of the founders of the Union for Radical Political Economics (URPE), I have compiled a history of the first five years of the journal and the organization. This retrospective is primarily based on archival research, supplemented by my recollections. It concludes with some thoughts on how URPE and the RRPE affected the study and uses of economics in the past half century.
