Preface
This is the seventeenth volume of the series of International Papers in Political Economy (IPPE). This series consists of an annual volume with eight papers on a single theme. The objective of the IPPE is the publication of papers dealing with important topics within the broad framework of Political Economy.
The original series of International Papers in Political Economy started in 1993 until the new series began in 2005 and was published in the form of three issues a year with each issue containing a single extensive paper. Information on the old series and back copies can be obtained from the editors: Philip Arestis (e-mail: pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Malcolm Sawyer (e-mail: m.c.sawyer@lubs.leeds.ac.uk).
The theme of this seventeenth volume of eight papers is Economic Policies for a Post Neo-Liberal World. The papers in this volume were scheduled to be presented in late March 2020 at a one-day conference in Cambridge, UK (Downing College), organised by the Department of Land Economy, University of Cambridge, under the aegis of the Cambridge Trust for New Thinking in Economics. The papers were intended to be presented subsequently at the annual conference, entitled Developments in Economic Theory and Policy, held at the University of the Basque Country, Bilbao, Spain in June 2020. These conferences had to be cancelled as a consequence on restrictions on meetings and travel in response to the COVID-19 pandemic . We are grateful to the organisers of the Cambridge Trust for New Thinking in Economics and to the organisers of the Developments in Economic Theory and Policy conference series, for funding and help in the organisation of annual conferences over a number of years, which have enabled presentation of the relevant papers, and subsequently published in the International Papers in Political Economy series.
