Plurality in Teaching Macroeconomics

Rohit Azad | 2017

 

 

Abstract: 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.

The total sum of squares and the total degrees of freedoms are disaggregated by calculating in sample variance and "between" sample variance and their respective degrees of freedoms. It is demonstrated numerically that both these measures add up to the total sum of squares and the total degrees of freedom. 2012 Level: beginner ANOVA 2: Calculating SSW and SSB (total sum of squares within and between)   Khan Academy The postcolonial critique of Economics is one of the sharpest and most comprehensive indictments of the discipline, highlighting the discipline's limited treatment of power and culture and the incompatibility of the discipline's theoretical frameworks and predictions with the contexts of most formerly colonised territories.

Eine Reise in die Vergangenheit der Disziplin zeigt, dass eine bessere Ökonomik denkbar ist, argumentiert Frank Fehlberg. Level: beginner Objektfixierung – Wie die VWL ihre Dynamik verlor Frank Fehlberg Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik The article compares market fundamentalism and right-wing populism on the basis of its core patterns of thinking and reasoning. Based on an analysis of important texts in both fields we find many similarities of these two concepts in their "inner images". Thus, we develop a scheme of the similar dual social worlds of right-wing-populism and market fundamentalism and offer some recent examples of market fundamentalism and right-wing populism mutually reinforcing each other or serving as a gateway for each other. We then apply our scheme for the analysis of the recent political developments and its ideological roots in the US under Donald Trump. 2017 Level: advanced Right-wing populism and market-fundamentalism: Two mutually reinforcing threats to democracy in the 21st century Walter O.
