Elsewhere

Summary:
Isabella Weber's Sellers' inflation, profits and conflict: why can large firms hike prices in an emergency?, in the Review of Keynesian Economics. Isabella Weber et al Inflation in times of overlapping emergencies: systemically significant prices from an input-output perspective, a working paper. Zachary Carter's profile of Isabella Weber in the New Yorker. Noah Smith's muddle and more muddle. Zachary Carter has a book, The Price of Peace: Money, Democracy, and the Life of John Maynard Keynes. Meg Jacobs has an article, The forgotten left economics tradition, last April in The American Prospect. This article surveys some institutionalists up through World War II and the theory of administered prices. Having read his book, I think Zachery Carter is quite aware of the reputation

Robert Vienneau considers the following as important:

This could be interesting, too:

Robert Vienneau writes Problems With The Economic Calculation Problem

Robert Vienneau writes How To Find Fluke Switch Points

Robert Vienneau writes Variation With Markups Of The Analysis Of The Choice Of Technique With Intensive Rent

Robert Vienneau writes An Alpha Vs. Delta Pattern For The r-Order Of Fertility With Intensive Rent And Markup Pricing

Having read his book, I think Zachery Carter is quite aware of the reputation of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the New School for Social Reserarch, Utah, and a few other places. In his New Yorker article, he does not say anything about heterodox or non-mainstream economics. He does not say anything about the sociology of the field. He does note Krugman and others calling Weber (or her work) 'stupid'. Carter treats Weber as any other economist that has something interesting to say about current issues in understanding the economy of the United States and other countries.

I think some of my work is not too far away from Weber's work. I wonder if she knows about the work of Adam Rose and others using input-output analysis to understand the economic impact of disastors, such as hurricanes and earthquakes.

Update 16 June 2023: Added link to Meg Jacobs article.
