Heterodox
Apparently, many mainstream economists assert that anything worthwhile in economics will be published in one of a few journals. The following is a selection of some articles from these well-respected journals, as I understand it: American Economic Review Donald J. Harris. 1973. Capital, distribution, and the aggregate production function. AER. 63(1): 100-113. David Laibman and Edward J. Nell. 1977. Reswitching, Wicksell effects, and the neoclassical production function. AER, 67(5): 878-888. Economica Murray Milgate. 1976. On the origin of the notion of ‘intertemporal equilibrium’. Economica. New series 46(181): 1-10. Journal of Economic Literature G. C. Harcourt. 1969. Some Cambridge controversies in the theory of capital. JEL. 7(2): 369-405 A.

What I get out of this is that much of what is taught in mainstream microeconomics and macroeconomics is without theoretical and empirical foundation. Alternatives, such as Post Keynesianism, exist. Karl Marx's work is of interest to modern economists. These results were established decades ago.
