A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'This volume is an excellent outcome of an American Economic Association Committee for Economic Education project aimed at advancing the teaching of economics within a liberal arts context. Dave Colander and KimMarie McGoldrick assembled a most able panel of contributors for this effort that includes dialogue on what should be taught, how it should be taught, and how that teaching and learning should be assessed and rewarded. To the editors' credit, they have not attempted to dictate policy but to stimulate debate on the topics. This volume is a must read for anyone seriously interested in the teaching of economics at the tertiary level.' --William E. Becker, Indiana University, US

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The economics major is a central part of a college education. Is that economics major doing what it is meant to do? And if not, how should it be changed? This book provides a provocative discussion of the economics major by many of the leaders in US economic education. It questions issues such as whether the disciplinary nature of undergraduate education is squeezing out the 'big-think' questions, and replacing them with 'little-think' questions, and whether we should change graduate training of economists to better prepare them to be teachers, rather than researchers.
