Welcome to the Harvard Law & Political Economy Students Association

The Harvard Law & Political Economy (“LPE”) Students Association is the student group of Harvard Law School dedicated to studying and promoting the questions, methods, and policy proposals of the LPE movement. We begin with the premise that the law helps shape and is shaped by who does and does not have political and economic power. We believe that neoliberal paradigms in legal scholarship advocating deregulation, privatization, liberalization, and austerity have helped obscure this fundamental dynamic, and thereby contributed to the worsening inequality, ecological catastrophe, and political crisis of recent decades. We are committed to intellectual organizing—building coalitions among students, faculty, and staff at HLS to develop a better understanding of the relationship between law and political economy and to generate actionable proposals to address today’s major crises. All members of the HLS community are welcome to join us!
