I was thinking UMass Amherst, which has long had one of the most progressive economics departments in the US but their admissions requirements look much the same as you would find at most other graduate economics programs.

Yah, they require calculus and a foreign language.

If I may phrase this more selfishly (not that I'll ever be a great anything), if one is interested in the material organization of society, but not in the Freakonomics or advanced micro methodologies, where should one be looking? I'm quickly discovering that my double lack of aptitude in both foreign languages and math beyond calculus is, uh, a bit constricting. ___________________________________ http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/mailman/listinfo/lbo-talk
