4th Annual Conference of the Association of Heterodox Economics

Branching out from its usual base in the UK, this year's heterodox conference was held at Dublin City University, 9-10 July 2002. All economists were encouraged to come together and hear a diversity of papers on topics not well represented in mainstream economics. The Conference took place over two days, with four parallel tracks and two plenary sessions.
