Yesterday I accepted an offer from the Economics Department at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Because there’s no such thing as “replacing” Randy Wray, I’ll just say that I will be joining the department this fall. The opportunity to work with UMKC’s excellent graduate students while being able to devote more time to furthering the development of a true alternative to neoclassical economics was too good (and too important, particularly given the times we are in) to pass on. I will be teaching the core graduate macro courses (with Stephanie Kelton), monetary economics, financial macro, and will be able to bring my mentor Greg Hayden’s Social Fabric Matrix methodology into the classroom for the first time in my career. I also plan to work on developing the field of ecological macroeconomics. During the past 15 years in Iowa, I’ve been blessed to have such wonderful colleagues and students here at Wartburg College. Waverly has been very good to us and it will be hard to say goodbye. But it is true that the only thing that is constant in life is change—this is just the beginning of a very big change for us.
Congratulations to Scott on his new appointment.

So has Randy retired or moved on?
Moved to Bard (family reasons apparently) Neil.
Many congratulations to the inimitable, The Master Scott, but you have to wonder why a place as heterodox as UMKC took this long to appoint someone even The Amazing Randy defers to on matters of money and banking! But then again, Alan Turing died a lowly Reader at provincial Manchester University. And the least said of Hyman Misky, the better. The absurdities of academic appointments never fail to disappoint.
Anyway, it's time for The Master to do the economic profession (possibly the human race before the austerians send us back to the stone age) the mother of all favours and write a book on money and banking. Even if it takes ten years, it'll still make it out before the long-awaited Wray Mitchell textbook!!!!!!
"I will be teaching the core graduate macro courses (with Stephanie Kelton)"
She isn't with Sanders anymore?
Randy has moved to Levy Institute as a Levy Scholar and Professor of Economic at Bard College. The institute hosts Minsky's papers. Randy will be working on MInsky as well as M&B. Minsky has been his focus lately.
Senior Scholar L. Randall Wray is a professor of economics at Bard College. His current research focuses on providing a critique of orthodox monetary theory and policy, and the development of an alternative approach. He also publishes extensively in the areas of full employment policy and, more generally, fiscal policy. With President Dimitri B. Papadimitriou, he is working to publish, or republish, the work of the late financial economist Hyman P. Minsky, and is using Minsky’s approach to analyze the current global financial crisis.

Stephanie is still on leave from UMKC while she is serving as chief economist for the Senate Budget Committee for the minority.
Mind if I plug this article here? :)
Michigan Republicans are secretly admitting that “running state like a business” has failed & has killed people
“We keep saying we have to run government like a business. But government isn’t a business. You can’t run it like a business,” one said. Turning briefly to the presidential campaign, the person said, “We’re real good at being the party of ‘no,’ but we have to show we can govern.”
