2025 CHE Inaugural Conference
The Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE) held its inaugural conference, onFebruary 6th, 7th, and 8th. This groundbreaking event brought together leading scholars, organizers, students, and local citizens to explore alternative perspectives in economic theory and practice. By examining timely topics through a heterodox perspective, we explored how our economic system functions and how people drive societal transformation.
The conference may be over, but the insights live on! Watch the recorded sessions on our YouTube channel and stay inspired by groundbreaking discussions. Don’t miss out—subscribe now!
Heterodoxy is the authentic economics of the North American heartland — institutionalist, evolutionary, pragmatic. May the new Center foster and support this tradition, and may Tulsa become a new Mecca for independent, relevant, and (above all) useful economists.
James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin
In this turbulent and troubled world, the role of economics is of critical importance. Yet too much of the economics profession is entangled in a framework derived from some notion of a perfect economic system. Inevitably, actual historical and empirical phenomena appear as “imperfections”. This Center seeks to engage with economic approaches derived from real historical and economic patterns, and to support and encourage dialogue among them.
