INVITED LECTURE, PLURALISM IN ECONOMICS, students of Maastricht College, The Netherlands, September 2021
Undergraduate economics students remain surprisingly sheltered from the big debates in economics. Classrooms are rife with censorship, often from faculty, strict lines drawn of what is appropriately ‘pluralist’. A future resilience in dialogue on evidence, theory and methods is essential to take on the world’s complex challenges. This talk spoke to some big themes on economics, philosophy, and decolonisation.
