Do you want to have a short wrap up of what Walras, Veblen or Sraffa said? Or do you want to look up when Institutional Economics or Behavioral Economics emerged? This historic timeline by Heske van Doornen presents economic events, economic thinkers and schools of thought from the 18th century until the 2007/2008 financial and economic crisis with short texts on the respective event or perspective. It comprises, amongst others, Classical Economics, Marginalism, Neoclassical Economics, Marxism, Austrian Economics, Institutional Economics, Keynesian Economics, Post- and New Keynesian Economics and Behavioral Economics. Yet, the timeline does neither include feminist nor ecological perspectives and does not account for perspectives from the global south.

The current Great Recession, the worst crisis that capitalism has faced since the Great Depression, has failed, at least so far, to generate a change in the teaching and practice of Macroeconomics. This seems bizarre as if nothing has happened and the economists are just going about doing business as usual. In light of this, the current paper attempts to address how Macroeconomics ought to be taught to students at the advanced intermediate level, which gives them an overall perspective on the subject.

Plurality in Teaching Macroeconomics

L'article est une synthèse du livre "Conceptualizing Capitalism". Geoffrey Hodgson présente les points clés du livre. Il présente d'abord les différentes définitions du capitalisme et les concepts qui y sont associés : marché, propriété, salariat, finance. Ensuite, un focus est fait sur le rôle primordial de l'émergence des institutions financières et des confusions qui existent autour du terme de "capital". Un accent est porté sur l'importance d'une analyse historique et juridique du capitalisme. Hodgson introduit alors la notion d' "institutionnalisme juridique" pour "conceptualiser le capitalisme", afin de mieux le comprendre et éventuellement de prendre des mesures politiques à la hauteur des enjeux contemporains.

Economics is dogmatic, monolithic, merely quantitative, highly normative, strongly political, primarily ethical, pseudo-scientific, and manipulative.

Rethinking Economics Switzerland
During his life, Keynes was credited with, amongst other things, with helping to save capitalism from the Great Depression, funding the war against the Nazis and building post-war decades of growth and rising prosperity. And when the global crisis struck in 2008, it was his ideas that the world's leaders turned to help avoid another depression.
