Teaching Heterodox Economic Concepts

This chapter has been superseded by "Teaching Heterodox Economics and Pluralism", published in 2017.

Summary

Even within the economics 'mainstream', a view is emerging that the content of economics teaching is unrepresentative of the subject, robbing it of dynamism and making it less attractive. In the light of this critique this chapter examines the rationale and scope for teaching heterodox economics. We continue with a working definition of heterodox economics, a summary of the arguments for teaching heterodox economics and an introduction to strategies for teaching.
