The online launch of a brand new book, Recharting the History of Economic Thought, edited by Kevin Deane and Elisa Van Waeyenberge.

The book offers a radical redesign to teaching and learning about the History of Economic Thought by interrogating the ways in which alternative (and often older) traditions in the history of economic ideas can provide ways forward from the straightjacket imposed by mainstream economics. The book will be an important pedagogic resource for those teaching economics (and its history), and in particular, for those who have an interest in introducing their students to a plurality of ideas. It brings together a unique collection of heterodox economists’ reflections on what the history of economic thought can teach us about core topics in Economics and does so in a tailored pedagogical way.
