Teaching political economy for human rights

Manuel Couret Branco

International Journal of Pluralism and Economics Education, 2018, vol. 9, issue 3, 238-253

Abstract: Teaching economics today, consists essentially in transmitting mainstream theory due the lack of pluralism and social focus in the academy. Furthermore, how economics is taught is also largely responsible for how economic information reaches citizens. If economics is to help advance human rights, the first step consists in decoding mainstream rhetoric; the second step in adopting an alternative discourse.
