Center for Popular Economics
- Center for Popular Economics
The Center for Popular Economics "(CPE)" ,founded in 1978, is a non-profit collective of over 60 progressive economists that works to promote economic justice and sustainability through civic education, economic de-mystification and by bridging the academic-community divide. CPE’s programs and publications demystify the economy and put useful economic tools in the hands of people fighting for social and economic justice. The annual week long summer institute and taliored workshops examine root causes of economic inequality and injustice including systems of oppression based on race, class, gender, nation and ethnicity. They also produce the Econ-Atrocities and Econ-Utopian, which are twice monthly electronic briefs on economic stories that outrage and inspire. Founding members: Samuel Bowles, Juliet Schor, Diane Flaherty, David Kotz, Tom Riddell
Advisory committees include: Howard Zinn, Barbra Ehrenreich,
