Takes real balls for Frances to take anyone to task for lack of originality.

"Pia Malaney

Senior Economist

Dr. Pia Malaney’s research has focused on economic, biological, and sociological approaches to human welfare. Her dissertation written under Eric Maskin, established a new Gauge Theoretic foundation for welfare economics allowing biological and behavioral realism for dynamic economic agents. She has held positions at the Harvard Institute for International Development and the Center for International Development at Harvard’s Kennedy School where she worked in collaboration with Asian and African governments of the development of health care and economic policies. Dr. Malaney’s current research focus is the role of scientific realism in the foundations of economic theory and its expected effects on the economics of development, education, gender, and welfare. She received her BA from Wellesley College and her PhD from Harvard University."

INET conferencing beyond disappointment

Frances Coppola summarizes: “This is not ‘new thinking’, it is the same old elite economists’ voodoo in different clothes.”

True, orthodox ‘New Economic Thinking’ is a bad joke but heterodox ‘New Economic Thinking’ is even worse. For details see

‘This is New Economic Thinking? Give me a break!’
