A series of webinars exploring financial dynamics and productive structures in developing countries and the relationships between Latin American structuralists and Post Keynesian economics. Each webinar had two speakers, one based in Argentina and one based in Europe.
The Global Financial Crisis of 2008 and the COVID pandemic that erupted in 2020 have reinforced criticisms of orthodox economic theory and highlighted the need for alternative approaches such as Post-Keynesian Economics.
The Post-Keynesian Economics Society fosters research and dissemination within the framework of PKE and is committed to strengthening and internationalising heterodox economics networks. We convened a series of webinars with Argentinean PK scholars, with the aim of contributing to the launching of the Argentinean Post-Keynesian Association (APKA).
APKA’s objective is to develop a network between economists and other scholars with similar interests, perspectives and approaches, in order to support and disseminate research linked to PKE. We recognize the diverse heterodox traditions of Argentine and more broadly Latin American schools of economic thought with strong links with PKE. Therefore, the APKA extends the invitation to scholars of other traditions such as Structuralism, evolutionism, classical-Sraffianism, institutionalism, regulation theory, feminist economics and ecological economics.
