Panglossian Economics

Author

Listed:
  • Ann Davis

Abstract

Economic theory is in crisis, though many mainstream economists deny it. But a wide range of heterodox critics are beginning to strike a nerve. Some advocate that the mainstream consensus must be broken down to allow pluralistic and competing views. But is this enough? Ann E. Davis summarizes the critiques of the day in search of a better answer.
