Depending how you are defining "left", we hired two political economists
this past year. Of course ours is not a "major economics" school, we are
an interdisciplinary liberal studies program. The job announcement
attracted a large pool of "left" leaning economists for sure.
There's another aspect to this notion of Eurocentrism. While I would tend
to side with Brenner's thesis about the importance of class relations in
the emergence of capitalism in Europe (Wallerstein is also Eurocentric in
that respect but relies on mercantile trade as the driving force), there
is

85% and telecomm. more than 86%.
