Abstract

Thinking about the economy in terms of systems has a long pedigree, but the terminology of openness and closure in economics is attracting increasing attention. It is apparent that these terms are being employed differently, not only between mainstream and non-mainstream economists but also within non-mainstream economics. The purpose of this chapter is to tease out these differences in meaning and, more important, the underlying methodological approaches which account for these differences. This exercise is offered as a contribution to clarifying the debate.
