First, I don't think the word "radical" should be dropped to improve anyone's
career chances. It is a matter of principle. Having said that, I will admit
to having expunged RRPE articles from my vita, but the real boost came when I
also eliminated *any* publication outside the narrow specialty particular
employers were looking for. The shorter my vita, the more interviews I got.
(I still didn't get any jobs out of those interviews, however, so perhaps the
whole strategy was pointless.) In other words, I think the real drawback of
publishing in RRPE is that, unless you are marketing yourself specifically as
a specialist in radical economics, you run the risk of appearing
insufficiently narrow.
