5. Significant research grants and other awards received
During January-April 2006 I was invited by the Center for International Research on the
Japanese Economy, University of Tokyo, to work as Visiting Professor. This is a highly
competitive and prestigious award made to internationally known researchers. The award
covered all expenses of travelling and living in Tokyo.
In 1996 I received a personal grant of £20000 from the European Community to pursue
research on the political economy of money and credit. The grant was supplied by a
special EU programme for the promotion of academic exchanges between European and
Japanese universities, which makes provision for four European academics to visit Japan
annually. The grant allowed me to visit the University of Tokyo for three months in the
10
summer of 1996 to complete Political Economy of Money and Finance (co-authored with
Makoto Itoh).
During the academic year 1993-4 I was invited by the University of Tokyo, the leading
academic institution in Japan, to work as Visiting Associate Professor teaching Political
Economy of Money and Credit. This is a prestigious invitation, annually advanced by the
University of Tokyo to one academic from abroad.

10. Other significant evidence of academic leadership
In 2007 I took the initiative of establishing Research on Money and Finance (RMF) an
international network of political economists focusing on money, finance and the
evolution of contemporary capitalism. Since then RMF has become well-established and
14
has organised several international conferences, seminars and lectures. It also runs a
successful Discussion Paper series. Further information can be obtained on
www.researchonmoneyandfinance.org. Perhaps the most significant output of RMF,
however, has been three reports and a series of lesser interventions on the eurozone crisis.
The output of RMF has been widely discussed in the international media and has led to
TV, radio and other appearances.
