16 very good left-wing economists

[buritobr]

I wrote an article about the life and the work of 16 very good left-wing economists: Rudolf Hilferding, Nikolai Kondratiev, Paul Douglas, Michal Kalecki, Piero Sraffa, Gunnar Myrdal, Raul Prebisch, Joan Robinson, Oskar Lange, Paul Sweezy, Celso Furtado, Amartya Sen, Joseph Stiglitz, Paul Krugman, Yanis Varoufakis, Thomas Piketty. The article is in Portuguese, but I post here for the ones who can read https://voyager1.net/economia/economistas-de-esquerda/

I had the intention to write against the myth that only conservative economists are good economists

Where's Ha-Joon Chang?

Ha-Joon Chang can not be considered a leftist. He said that he would be considered left-wing in the UK and right-wing in South Korea.
He supports the interventionist policies like the ones implemented by the military dictatorship in South Korea. Chang said that the rich countries implemented free trade and respect to intelectual property only after they became rich, but he also said that these countries created the welfare state only after they became rich.
