Progress in Political Economy (PPE) Book Series
Since its launch in 2014, the Progress in Political Economy (PPE) blog has become a central forum for the dissemination and debate of political economy research published in book and journal article forms with crossover appeal to academic, activist and public policy related audiences.
Now the Progress in Political Economy (PPE) Book Series with Manchester University Press provides a new space for innovative and radical thinking in political economy, covering interdisciplinary scholarship from the perspectives of critical political economy, historical materialism, feminism, political ecology, critical geography, heterodox economics, decolonialism and racial capitalism.
The PPE Book Series combines the reputations and reach of the PPE blog and MUP as a publisher to launch critical political economy research and debates. Authors in the series will gain immediate and wide exposure for their work by publishing posts and excerpts on the blog and readers will have opportunities to review and debate books in dedicated online forums.
We welcome manuscripts that realise the very best new research from established scholars and early-career scholars alike that emphasise:
The Series Editors provide rich intellectual and geographical reach and interested authors seeking to publish in the book series should contact any of the Editors and/or the Commissioning Editor at MUP Robert Byron. Authors should also consult the Manchester University Press proposal guidelines.

What is the water crisis’ relationship to the ecological crisis? To the crisis of social reproduction? Or the crises of political legitimacy? And could it be a potential crisis for capitalism? These are all questions that animate my new book Water Struggles as Resistance to Neoliberal [...]

For decades the concept of “imperialism” all but disappeared from popular discourse and academic writing in the rich countries. It was an idea that used to be dominated by Marxist thinkers until the 1970s, but even among Marxists – at least in academia – the concept has rarely been seen as [...]

My new book Keynes and Marx attempts a constructive Marxist engagement with Keynes and Keynesianism. I’ll explain what I mean by this and how the book tries to achieve it. Three attitudes dominate Marx-Keynes relations. I argue for a fourth.
