Pluralist Economics as a Democratizing Force: A Review Essay

Nina Eichacker

Review of Political Economy, 2024, vol. 36, issue 4, 1698-1707

Abstract: In recent years, a range of work has been published questioning economists’ motives in the policy realm and the consequences of the hegemony of mainstream economic reasoning in political spaces. This review analyzes two recent books about pluralism and economics that argue for the relevance of economics as an academic discipline and guide for policy-makers, despite hurdles to the publication of heterodox work. The authors represented in these books argue for a two-track approach in attaining relevance: some practitioners of heterodox economics should focus on targeting their work for broader audiences, whether in policy or conventional journals, while others should explore newer ideas in heterodox, pluralist, and interdisciplinary journals to expand the boundaries of possibility.
