Special Issue: Celebrating the 120th anniversary of Joan Violet Robinson: Her Lessons for Today
2023 marks the fortieth year since the passing of Joan Robinson and her one-hundred-and-twentieth anniversary. This special issue of the Cambridge Journal of Economics aims at presenting a collection of papers that reflect the extraordinary breadth of Robinson’s career and examine what insights these might offer the economics profession and policy makers to address our seemingly most intractable problems of inadequate demand, rising margins with falling competition, and widespread and seemingly intransigent inequality and its consequences.

Special Issue: The Future of Work and Working Time
The idea that technology will ‘free’ people from work has persisted through time. Among some prominent early writers, the expectation was that technological progress would lead inexorably to a future with less or even zero work. Keynes, famously, predicted a fifteen-hour work week by 2030. For Keynes, constant capital accumulation and increasing productivity promised the reduction of work time and the move to a leisure society.
Special Issue: Big Tech, Corporate Power and Economic Performance: Revisiting Monopoly Capitalism
The year 2022 is 40 years since the publication of Keith Cowling's seminal monograph ‘Monopoly Capitalism’. To mark that event, we are soliciting papers on how monopoly continues to impact economic performance. The critical transformative event in those intervening years has been the technological revolution. Primarily, therefore, we are interested in receiving papers that focus on the interaction of monopoly and technology.
Special Issue: Financialisation in developing and emerging economies: Manifestations, Drivers and Implications
Guest-edited by: Carolina Alves, Bruno Bonizzi, Annina Kaltenbrunner, and Gabriel Palma
The Special Issue aims to provide an assessment of the financialisation process in developing and emerging economies (DEEs). It invites contributions on the theoretical and empirical specificities of the manifestations, drivers and implications of this process in these economies. It encourages interdisciplinary work, both in theory and method, and is particularly interested in papers, which make a conceptual contribution to the literature.
Special Issue: Keynes’ Treatise on Probability and Knight’s Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit After 100 Years
Editors: Phil Faulkner, Alberto Feduzi, C.R. McCann, Jr, Jochen Runde
The centenary of Keynes' and Knight's work presents an opportunity to reassess their respective significance to economics, philosophy, finance, mathematics, and other fields. In addition, it presents an opportunity to evaluate how each has held up given a century of intellectual development. To advance this end, we propose a special issue of the Cambridge Journal of Economics, to be published in 2021, the 100th anniversary.
CJE 2020 Conference: Advancing heterodox economics
The Cambridge Journal of Economics 2020 conference will provide a forum for the presentation of work that advances heterodox economics. Submissions of abstracts (maximum 500 words) are welcomed in any area of heterodox economics and related social science disciplines, on a broad range of topics.
Special Issue: Ontology and the History of Economic Thought
Editors: Paul Lewis, Mário Graça Moura, and Jochen Runde
Ontology—defined as the study of the nature of reality, or the study of social being—is unavoidable in social research, because the methods used by social researchers always reflect commitments regarding the nature of their subject matter. The study of the ontological conceptions of heterodox economics is still in its infancy and the goal of this Special Issue is to build on the momentum provided by an earlier special issue ('Special Issue: Contributions to the History of Ontological Thinking in Economics, with a specific focus on 'Process and Order', Cambridge Journal of Economics, July 2015).
