Strategic Pluralism and Monism in Heterodox Economics

William Jackson

Review of Radical Political Economics, 2018, vol. 50, issue 2, 237-251

Abstract: Pluralism is frequently supported by heterodox economists, but their rationale for it is not always transparent. It could be advocated for strategic reasons, as a response to the institutional power of orthodoxy, or for fundamental reasons, as a program for how economics should best be done. This paper evaluates strategic pluralism, compares it with the alternative of strategic monism, and relates both strategies to long-term objectives.
