[Claudio Schuftan]

From: Garance UPHAM <fannie.upham at gmail.com>

> We, the 141 economists from the 40 countries listed below, invite you to
> join the *World Economics Association* which we are launching today (May
> 16, 2011).
>
> Two commitments listed in our *Manifesto
> <http://www.feedblitz.com/t2.asp?/332386/18283362/4018403/http://www.worldeconomicsassociation.org/WEA/Manifesto.html>
> *sum up the project.
>
>
>
> 1. To *plurality*. The Association will encourage the free exploration of
> economic reality from any perspective that adds to the sum of our
> understanding.  To this end, it advocates plurality of thought, method and
> philosophy.
>
>
>
> 8. To *global democracy*.  The Association will be democratically
> structured so as not to allow its domination by one country or one
> continent.
>
>
>
> The creation of the *WEA *addresses an obvious gap in the international
> community of economists – the absence of a truly international, pluralist
> association. Today’s digital technology makes it feasible to close this gap
> quickly and cheaply through a bottom-up, grass-roots approach.
>
> *  *
>
> The *WEA *has been legally constituted in the United Kingdom as a
> “Community Interest Company”, a special legal category (with an asset lock)
> for non-profit organizations whose purpose is to serve the public interest.
>
>
>
> *Membership of the World Economics Association is free.  To join, all that
> you need to do is go  here
> <http://www.feedblitz.com/t2.asp?/332386/18283362/4018403/http://www.worldeconomicsassociation.org/>
> and then enter your name, email address and country and then click. *
>  You will also be given the option of providing us with a few professional
> details, but none of these are required. You will receive an email
> confirming your membership of the *WEA *.  You will also be given the
> opportunity to make a donation to the running of the *WEA *.  We want to
> emphasize that the *WEA *has no major donors, neither institutional nor
> individual, behind it.
>
>
>
> The *WEA *will initially publish three journals, two of them new.  Online
> access will be free to members, with print copies available to libraries and
> individuals for a fee.  The *WEA *’s very large membership from which to
> draw papers will ensure a high standard of scholarship. The general-purpose
> flagship journal will be the *World Economics Journal*. The other new
> journal, *Economic Thought* , will focus on the history, methodology and
> philosophy of economics.  The *Real-World Economics Review *will
> henceforth be published under the umbrella of the *WEA *.  If you wish,
> you may read a  document
> <http://www.feedblitz.com/t2.asp?/332386/18283362/4018403/http://www.worldeconomicsassociation.org/Journals/index.html>detailing
> the structures and procedures, which include an open review process, for the
> journals.
>
>
>
> From its website, the *WEA *will also run online conferences.
>
>
>
> *Help economics and yourself.  Become a WEA member now
