Maeve Cohen, the director of Rethinking Economics, notes the absurdism of undergraduate economics teaching, even after the Global Financial Crisis. In this one page article in Nature, she calls for greater pluralism in teaching. (This has led to the usual whining and silliness in the usual places.)

Yanis Varoufakis calls for an international movement to fight both a re-insurgent fascism and establishment globalists. Georist
