Heterodox Economics, Tolerance, and Pluralism

Frederic Lee

Review of Radical Political Economics, 2011, vol. 43, issue 4, 573-577

Abstract: In my response to Garnett and Mearman, I argue that many of their comments are based on the assumption that mainstream economics has truth and value, which is in fact not the case. In addition, I argue that that the divided economics community arises from actions taken by mainstream economists and not due to actions taken by heterodox economists. Finally, I argue that pluralism through tolerance is the way forward.JEL classification: B40, B50
