%X Nearly a dozen Union for Radical Political Economics (URPE) members, including founders and activists (past and present), review URPE¡¯s history and legacy, including its political activism, hilarious past, and moving moments. Born in the turbulent 1960s, URPE changed scholars¡¯ lives by providing a platform and community to discuss Left economic work, meet lifelong collaborators and friends, and receive much-needed encouragement and support in a hostile profession. It has broadened, altered, and improved scholarship and the economics profession
