Trade Wars Conference opens
The United States declared an economic war on China in early 2018, a unilateral action that places the question of what regime we are about to enter after the weakening of the existing multilateral trade agencies.
This conference calls for a deep reflection to related matters with papers by Kenneth E. Austin, Eduardo Martínez-Ávila, Cecilia Rikap and Ariel Slipak, Oscar Ugarteche, and Juan Vázquez Rojo

Market-value
It’s measurement and metric
A new book by Edward Fullbrook

Lars Syll, Malmö University, Sweden

Trumponomics – Causes and Consequences

WORLD SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC REVIEW 
Narrative fixation in economics, Edward Fullbrook
“This is a great book. Against the background of the dogmatism of much of modern economics, Edward Fullbrook has produced an innovative and wide-ranging argument for narrative pluralism. The timely book is beautifully written, accessible to all, provocative, extraordinarily insightful, and extremely compelling.”
Tony Lawson, Cambridge University, UK
Green Capitalism: The God that Failed
“Essential reading for anyone opposed to planetary suicide. Capitalism is waging a war against nature. And until this becomes obvious to masses of people, we will be limited to reformist projects that can only slow the drive to oblivion, but not stop it. As Smith reminds us, ‘It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most critical moment in human history.'”
David Klein, Truthout | Book Review
