About Graham

Graham White is an Associate Professor in the School of Economics within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Sydney, where he has served as an academic staff member since 1991. He earned his PhD in Economics from the University of Melbourne in 1993. White teaches courses in macroeconomics, macroeconomic policy, heterodox economics, and the history of economic thought. His academic career at the University of Sydney has progressed to his current rank of Associate Professor, during which time he has contributed to the department's research and teaching in economics.

White's research interests focus on heterodox economics, macroeconomic theory and policy, and the synthesis of Sraffian-inspired pricing models with Keynesian approaches to output and employment determination. He investigates non-mainstream explanations for economic growth, unemployment, and income distribution, influenced by dissenting traditions in economic thought and critiques of mainstream economics. Notable publications include 'Competition, Welfare and Macroeconomics: A Classical/Sraffian Perspective' (2013, Review of Political Economy), 'Labour, Commodities and the Labour Market: A Heterodox Perspective' (2023, The Economic and Labour Relations Review), 'Capital, distribution and macroeconomics: "core" beliefs and "core" stories' (2004, Cambridge Journal of Economics), 'Disequilibrium Pricing and the Sraffa-Keynes Synthesis' (1998, Review of Political Economy), and the working paper '"[Don\'t] let them have their leets"! Joan Robinson and her legacy for heterodox macroeconomics' (2023, University of Sydney School of Economics). White has also co-authored on topics such as ecological economics. He contributes to public discourse through media articles on macroeconomic policy issues, including pieces on wage growth, tax cuts, and economic arguments, with 24 articles published on The Conversation. Additionally, he has organized academic events such as the University of Sydney School of Economics symposium on Perspectives on Adam Smith.
