Synopsis

This book offers an explanation as to why economics has become so determinedly non-pluralistic, but much attention is also given to exploring and evaluating promising strategies for reform. Strategies examined include working from inside economics, politics and other social science departments, and in establishing dedicated sectors of political economy. Along the way the reader will learn about the worldwide movement of students pushing for greater pluralism in economics, encounter some dramatic case studies in intellectual suppression, and generally gain a fuller sense of the nature and direction of contemporary economics.
