CAMBRIDGE WILL BE a little lonelier next year for Stephen A. Marglin '59, Harvard's only tenured radical economist. Arthur MacEwan, who has been the other radical economist since Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis were shown the door in 1972, is leaving town. He too has been denied tenure. Even...
Student spokesmen and UMass Amherst Professor Samuel S. Bowles called upon Governor Dukakis and the legislature to change government priorities from profit making endeavors to human service projects.
Bowles expressed further dissatisfaction over what he said was the theory's inability to recognize social relationships other than market relationships, and its role in perpetuating a class system in society.
In an interview after his address, Bowles described the future of radical economics as "very bright." He attributed the recent success of radical economics to the failure of neoclassical theory in solving current problems. "The actual facts of economic life are pushing our view forward," Bowles said.
Bowles, who formerly held an associate professorship in Economics at Harvard, was forced to leave the University last spring because of the Economics Department's decision not to grant tenure to the radical economist.
