This book demonstrates the continuing relevance of economics for
understanding the world, through a restatement of the importance of
plurality and heterodox ideas for teaching and research. The Great
Financial Crash of 2007-8 gave rise to a widespread critique of
economics for its inability to explain the most significant
economic event since the 1930s. The current straightjacket of
neo-classical undergraduate economic teaching and research hinders
students' understanding of the world they live in. The chapters in
this book provide examples to demonstrate the importance of
pluralistic and heterodox ideas from across the breadth of
economics. The authors' plurality of approach is indicative of the
fact that economics is a much broader discipline than the dominant
neo-classical orthodoxy would suggest. This volume provides
undergraduate students with a range of alternative ideas and
university lecturers with examples whereby the curricula have been
broadened to include pluralist and heterodox ideas.
