What Is Radical Political Economics?Keywords: history of economic thought,URPE history,radical economics,radical political economics,political economy,B2,B3,B5 Abstract: From interviews of Union for Radical Political Economics (URPE) members, founders, and activists, I discuss what radical political economics means. I argue that the meaning should go back to its original intent, so that it is broad and inclusive and examines the structure of the economy; the root of economic problems and conditions; issues of power; and oppression and inequality by race, gender, class, and nation. With a broad definition of radical political economics, we can continue to address problems of hegemony and inequality, which are as important today as they were fifty years ago
