"[This book] stands out in historically situating the most fertile period of Marxist dependency theory in the rise of Allende’s government in Chile... A perspective that is indispensable for organized resistance struggles in the 21st century."

The GDP Center mourns the loss of Perry Mehrling, an economist and distinguished scholar with long-lasting contributions to the economics field.

As a professor at @BUPardeeSchool and a core faculty member of the GDP Center, Dr. Mehrling's impact was prolific. He developed and named the "money view" that helped economists, policymakers and students understand how global financial system works.

Perry Mehrling was a valued member of the BU community and beyond. He will be sorely missed, but his highly influential body of work and reputation will ensure his legacy endures.

[Andrew Hartman @HartmanAndrew]

In an otherwise bleak "market" for historians, this job at Wisconsin-Madison for a historian of U.S. political economy from the Civil War to the present looks great.

Our present moment "echoes the 1970s, when monetary policy reflected the rivalry among global powers and the careful management of alliances." @MGSchmelzer, author of "Freedom for Capital, Not People," in conversation with translator Joshua Rahtz: https://t.co/3qXeocDViA

@MGSchmelzer: The neoliberal thought collective kept "their ideas at-the-ready for politicians amidst changing historical conditions…. Progressives today could learn from this kind of long-term, transnational organizing and intellectual work." https://t.co/3qXeocDViA
