Abstract: Abstract As we have seen, it is a frequent complaint of economic heretics that they are ignored by the practitioners of ‘normal economic science’, who rarely engage dissidents on their own or any other terrain. Heretics ask embarrassing questions, investigate problems which are not generally accepted as legitimate, and provide answers which rely upon unusual concepts, unfamiliar reasoning and inadmissible evidence. In short, they operate outside and cut across the paradigm which guides orthodox analysis.1 Karl Marx’s persistent complaint concerning the reception of his work was not the harshness of the criticism but its absence, which forced Friedrich Engels to tout for reviews and then (in desperation) to write his own.2
