Action for Economic Reforms was founded in 1996 by a group of progressive scholars and activists in the Philippines. The dominance of neo-classical structural adjustment and liberalization and the collapse of "statist" models of development ("actually existing socialism" and capitalist protectionism) have compelled progressive forces to rethink and redefine development strategies.
