history

After the “controversial” annual meeting of the Verein für Socialpolitik in 1972 on “Power and Economic Law”, critical economists founded their own association. Taking up the central argument at the time with the rediscovered Marxian theory , they called themselves the Political Economy Working Group . The theoretical spectrum was broad from the start, and included Keynesian as well as critical neoclassical and institutional representatives.
