“…The eruption of the latest in a long series of global financial crises underlines the stark contrast between the “normal science” of orthodox economics and the accumulating inconsistencies that, in Thomas Kuhn's well‐known (1970) view, is the hallmark of a troubled paradigm. Yet, despite the extensive efforts of a growing heterodoxy since the late 1960s (Lee 2001, 2004; O'Hara 1995), there is little sign on the horizon of a “scientific revolution” in economics.…”

Heterodox economics is in part defined by exclusion from orthodox circles and there is an understandable tendency for heterodox economists to engage primarily with each other outside these circles. Yet the critique offered by heterodoxy speaks more widely. This study examines the diffusion of heterodox economic ideas beyond the immediate confines via an analysis of the citation of heterodox economic journals by other journals. The diffusion of heterodox economics across wider disciplines is traced utilizing data from Emerald, Wiley, and Sage bibliographic databases. Employing the techniques of social network analysis, key journals in the diffusion process are identified, with implications for heterodox economics publishing strategy and engagement in valuation processes.

“…Of course, there is a long heterodoxy history predating the 1960s, but as Lee (2001, 2004) details, the tight priors of orthodox economics were firmly instituted in the period following the Second World War (see also O'Hara, 1995). …”

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the pattern among 17 heterodox economic journals over a prolonged period to provide evidence about the social dynamics among the group of researchers who publish in them and the extent to which they hold or develop a collective identity as heterodox economists.Design/methodology/approachTraditional approaches to citation analysis are extended by the use of techniques from social network analysis. In addition to citation counts, measures of network position and clique membership are used to identify key journals and turning points in a longitudinal analysis.FindingsImportant shifts in the nature of citation within the network of journals are identified in the 1998‐2001 period and evidence is found of the emergence of a collective identity.Research limitations/implicationsThe methods prove a valuable extension of citation analysis and also focus greater consideration on the social relationships that citations represent. They are well suited to addressing the principal limitation of the study, its restriction to journals within the defined community rather than journals in general.Originality/valueThis extends traditional approaches to citation analysis, provides an important new technique in identifying emergent collective identities and provides insight into the history and nature of the heterodox economic community.

“…Hillard and McIntyre are labor economists who work with the tools of postmodern Marxian analysis first developed by Stephen Resnick and Richard Wolff (Resnick and Wolff, 1987). As some Marxist institutionalists recognize, Resnick and Wolff's postmodern Marxism, with its emphasis upon overdetermination, resonates with the Veblenian conception of the economy as an holistic, interconnected system of processes (Dugger and Sherman, 2000;O'Hara, 1995). 8 Hillard and McIntrye use this postmodern institutional Marxism to explore the failures of the American labor movement during the 20th century through the lens of a 'subsumed' capitalist class, the Industrial Relations Experts (especially John R. Commons and his collaborators), whose task it was to assure 'labor peace'.…”

Symposium I'Imperialism is dynastic politics under a new name, carried on for the benefit of absentee owners instead of absentee princes,' argues Thorstein Veblen (Veblen, 1997(Veblen, [1923. This critique of imperialism is the electric current that charges Veblen's understanding of capitalism, from some of his earliest publications to his final book. Already, in the last pages of his early masterwork, The Theory of Business Enterprise, he offers a diagnosis of America's abiding pathology:The quest for profits leads to a predatory national policy. The resulting large fortunes call for a massive government apparatus to secure accumulations, on the one hand, and for large and conspicuous opportunities to spend the resulting income, on the other; which means a militant, coercive home administration and something in the way of an imperial court life -a dynastic fountain of honor and a courtly bureau of ceremonial amenities. Such an idea is … a sound business proposition. (Veblen, 1988(Veblen, [1904 While in the writings of his contemporary, the heterodox critic of traditional economics Joseph Schumpeter (1991), imperialism is simply a hold-over from an earlier form of social and economic life, for Veblen both imperialism and its 'concomitant coercive police surveillance' apparatus within the imperial nation (1988[1904]: 398)
