Heterodox
Summary:
Howard Reed argues we should rip up textbooks for mainstream economics and start over. (Some of what he says echoes an argument of mine.) I do not think Diane Coyle addresses Reed's points. Cahal Moran argues the problem is economics, not economists. Beatrice Cherrier has some frankly speculative posts on what limitations economists accepted in emphasizing tractability in developing models. Nathan Robinson does not like the word "neoliberalism", but understands there is a point to using it. David Glasner writes about Hayek's introduction of the theory of intertemporal and temporary equilibrium paths into economics. (I have no problem for those who look for Irving Fisher as a precursor of for more-or-less simultaneous discoveries in Sweden.)
Topics:
Robert Vienneau considers the following as important: Methodology of Economics
This could be interesting, too:
