What
Is Neoclassical Economics? Christian Arnsperger and Yanis Varoufakis “Critics must find a clear definition of
neoclassicism if only in order to liberate neoclassical economists from the
temptation to barricade themselves behind infantile arguments viz. the
non-existence of their school of thought. Then, the good debate may begin.” Can a Heterodox Economist Use
Cross-country Growth Matthew
McCartney “A heterodox or post-autistic economist should begin
with case studies and only then proceed to cross-country growth regressions
with all due caution.” Sen, McCloskey, and the Future of Heterodox Economics Robert F.
Garnett, Jr. “What exactly do we stand
for as heterodox economists? What are
our chief intellectual priorities? Are
we paradigm warriors, first and foremost?
Or are we pluralists, seeking to promote intellectual tolerance and
critical engagement among diverse points of view?” Robert F. Garnett, Jr. “. . . it is disingenuous
for heterodox economists to criticize the lack of pluralism in mainstream
economics while failing to practice it consistently themselves. “ Pluralist
Integration in the Economic and Social Sciences: François Eymard-Duvernay,
Olivier Favereau, André Orléan,
Robert Salais, Laurent Thévenot Can There Be An
Economics Based on Religion? Mohamed Aslam Haneef “The author welcomes
comments and constructive criticism, in the hope that religious based
economics can be accepted as part of heterodox economics, in-line with calls
for pluralism in economics.” Teaching Heterodox
Microeconomics Frederic S. Lee “ . . . heterodox
economists must promote the teaching of microeconomic theory” Reorienting
Economics Through Triangulation of Methods Paul Downward and Andrew Mearman “We argue that
triangulation allows retroduction to be made
operational, facilitates pluralism – rather than rejecting outright entire
methods – and allows economics to be reorientated
towards other social sciences, . . .” Towards a
Framework for Pluralism in Economics Jeroen Van Bouwel “I am convinced that trying to identify which of
these (or other) motivations underlie the different contributors to heterodox
economics, will be a fruitful exercise in the development of a strong
alternative to mainstream economics.” Feminism and Realism - A Contested RelationshipIrene
van Staveren “Does critical realism indeed have the balanced
position that feminists favour between universalism and relativism, as Lawson
claims in his assertion that realism is not essentialist?”
J.
E. King “. . . there is no single
version of ‘unscientific’ heterodox economics to stand in opposition to
mainstream economic ‘science’.” A Response to King’s Argument for Pluralism Paul
Davidson “In sum, then, I believe that encouraging pluralism
in economics without a common general theory foundation merely encourages
heterodox economists to erect a modern Tower of Babel, thereby making it
easier for Mainstream economists to ignore the resulting incomprehensible babel coming from this heterodox structure.” A Defence of
King's Argument(s) for Pluralism J. E.
King “This proposition seems to imply that we should
permit the mainstream to set the agenda for heterodox economics, and thus to
define its structure and content.”
Kyle
Siler “Economics has relatively
low audience plurality and diversity, largely due to the practice of
conducting esoteric, mathematical research published in academic journals
kept largely away from public scrutiny.”
Jorge Buzaglo “Human development does not depend on increased levels of “utility” derived from
consumption.” Esther-Mirjam Sent “If heterodox economists are serious about their
advocacy of pluralism, as we hope they are, they need to carefully consider
the nature, source, and classification of pluralism.8 And they
need to confront the charge that pluralism inevitably leads to an “anything
goes” view. They also need to beware of sliding into monism.” Common Ground
Critiques of Neoclassical Principles Texts Steve
Cohn “Like many heterodox economists I am pleased and
excited by the growth of the PAE network. I'd like to share some thoughts about a project
I have been working on that overlaps
many initiatives and ideas that have been discussed in the PAE Review.” Austrian Economics
and the Post-Autistic Economics Challenge Peter
Wynarczyk “To its [the Post-Autistic Economics movement’s]
credit, and unlike a number of its heterodox rivals, it has been more focused
on highlighting and demonstrating the inadequacies and shortcomings in neoclassicalism and
endeavouring to overcome them than in dwelling on the alleged
irrelevancies without attempting to sufficiently advance beyond them.” Economics
Outside the (Edgeworth) Box Robert
Scott Gassler “A couple of years ago I went to a
European conference on heterodox economics, and I made three mistakes. First,
I wore a blue suit. Second, I . . .” |
