FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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.

Bibliography Review "What is Heterodox Economics? is a terrific book. If you are a heterodox economist, an aspiring heterodox economist, or an engaged student of heterodox economics, I expect that you will appreciate this book very much. I also expect that many scholars trained in social sciences other than economics will appreciate this book and learn a lot from it. If you are a mainstream economist, I hope very much that you will read this book. It could make you a better economist, and it might be a small step toward making the discipline of economics a more richly rewarding space for economists of all stripes — and for our students. Ill cross my fingers, but I wont hold my breath."Timothy Koechlin, Review of Political Economy"The goal of the book, expressed in the title, is to convey the essence of heterodoxy to a readership perplexed by the folk rites of the economics profession…What emerges here is a set of intellectual life stories. They tell of how the interviewees entered economics, of their professional trajectories, of what they read and with whom they studied when they were young, of how they teach"James K. Galbraith, Oeconomia""I would argue that the conversations may be of particular interest to any academic, regardless of discipline, who knows or suspects that they are a maverick in their discipline, even if there isnt a heterodox group to which they feel their work aligns."Caroline Elliott, Warwick International Higher Education Academy Books Reviews Details ISBN1138731951 Author Danielle Guizzo Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Series Routledge Advances in Heterodox Economics Year 2019 ISBN-10 1138731951 ISBN-13 9781138731950 Format Hardcover Imprint Routledge Subtitle Conversations with Leading Economists Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Illustrations 1 Line drawings, black and white; 1 Illustrations, black and white Affiliation University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), UK DEWEY 330.15 Pages 314 Publication Date 2019-05-03 Language English UK Release Date 2019-05-03 AU Release Date 2019-05-03 NZ Release Date 2019-05-03 Alternative 9780367729981 Audience Tertiary & Higher Education We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
