Since the Global Financial Crisis, economics has been under greater
public scrutiny, revealing a crisis in the discipline. This
represented a potential turning point on how economics should be
thought and taught. Heterodox economics has played a prominent role
in these discussions revolving around new economics thinking and
pluralism in economics. Yet, its identity, aspirations, and
pedagogy remain underexplored, contested, and somewhat opaque. This
volume brings together sixteen interviews with leading economists
to understand what heterodox economics is. How and why does an
economist become heterodox? In which way do heterodox economists
see themselves as 'different' from mainstream economics? The
interviews shed light on what problems heterodox economists
perceive in the mainstream; elucidate the different contexts under
which they operate in higher education; and provide insights on
their ontology and methodology. The reader will also find answers
to the following questions about the nature and state of heterodox
economics: Do heterodox economists have particular intellectual
journeys, motives and aspirations? Is this reflected in their
teaching practices and strategies to achieve social change? What is
the relation between heterodox economics and the humanities and
arts? Appealing to a diverse audience, including philosophers,
sociologists and historians of economic thought, the book will be
of great interest to anyone keen to find out more about the
internal discussions in the economics discipline.
