Until the end of the early 1970s, from a history of economic
thought perspective, the mainstream in economics was pluralist, but
once neoclassical economics became totally dominant it claimed the
mainstream as its own. Since then, alternative views and schools of
economics increasingly became minorities in the discipline and were
considered 'heterodox'. This book is in honour of John Edward King
who has an impressive publication record in the area of economic
theory with specific interest in how economic thought in the past
shapes current economic theory and enforces certain paths of
economic policy and economic development. This book is divided into
five themes based on King's interests. The first theme looks at the
challenge in trying to reclaim pluralism in economics. The second
faces head-on the direct collision of mainstream economics with
history of economic thought and heterodox economics. The third
addresses classical economic ideas, their central influence in the
past and how they can still primarily guide modern pluralist
economics. The fourth examines Post Keynesian and Kaleckian
economics with a view to providing a more coherent and extensive
branch of heterodox economics. The final theme critiques the policy
of neoliberalism that has entrenched itself in capitalist economies
which have led to financial, industrial, labour, and
behavioural/consumerist crises. This text aims to provide a clear
path for pluralism to serve the economics discipline as its
standard bearer, and to no longer be merely a heterodox challenge
to the mainstream. This book is of interest to those who study
history of economic thought, political economy and heterodox
economics.
