Handbook of Teaching Philosophy to Economists

Edited by Giancarlo Ianulardo, John Davis and Ricardo Crespo

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In recent years there have been increasing calls for a revision of the economics curriculum to address the most pressing and challenging issues facing society. This erudite Handbook bridges the gap between a flourishing body of scholarship in the philosophy of economics literature and an economics education in need of a deeper rethinking, as felt by both students and educators. It provides practical pedagogical insights on how to structure courses in the philosophy of economics and how to link them to students’ economics backgrounds.
