Peter is correct that radical economics is not reproducing itself.  The
space for new left economists is limited to a few liberal arts colleges,
Catholic institutions, and less prestigious state colleges.  For the most
part, these do not have graduate programs.

During the '60s, students demanded something other than standard
neoclassical fare.  In order to maintain majors, departments had to hire a
few lefties to make their programs more interesting.  I was hired for this
purpose.
