Chapter 2 in The Elgar Companion to Women and Heterodox Economics, 2025, pp 39-52 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter offers a reflection on my development as a heterodox economist and a summary of my scholarly contributions to heterodox economics. I first document the stages along my formative path as an undergraduate and graduate economics student at the University of Missouri–Kansas City. I then discuss my early research on the nature and origins of money, and the history of monetary thought. Next, I provide an overview of my current research on the macroeconomic effects of climate change, the critique by Ecological Economics of Modern Monetary Theory and degrowth. The chapter concludes by briefly reviewing the impacts that my heterodox economics scholarship has had so far.
