Abstract

This study reports on a 2-year trial of a stand-alone (non-omnibus) evolutionary economics lecture for undergraduate students of the School of Economics, Kanazawa University in the academic years 2019 and 2020. The main purpose was to stimulate discussions on evolutionary economics education by presenting the content of the 2-year lectures. In addition, this paper presents our impressions of the trial experiment and thoughts on the future prospects of evolutionary economics education based on the lessons learned and reflections from the trial, considering recent discussions on the future prospects of evolutionary economics.
