Dear Pen-lers: Phil O'Hara, who is in the final phase of editing the encyclopedia of political economy, needs some help. He is teaching a subject he has never taught before - International Economics 400 at Honors level - and in the light of the enormous burden of the epe needs some help with possible references and course outlines that may be of help. Anything you might be able to send him would be much appreciated. Any topics or references which you think might help students understand the world economy or the international economy at honours level would be useful. He was thinking of including some material on Kaldor's Laws (BOP constraint; economies of scale; cumulative causation); business cycles and waves at the international level; international political economy issues; economic policy within the world context; maybe exchange rates; Kaleckian models for the world capitalist economy? He is hoping to include quite a bit of heterodox material (maybe even some work on development and the environment from a world context). Anything you could suggest or offer would be very helpful to him and especially the epe project! His details are as follows: Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phil O'Hara, Department of Economics, Curtin University, GPO Box U1987, Perth, Australia 6001.
