Abstract: Abstract The much-maligned field of economics has long had an uneasy relationship with ethical and value-based concepts such as sustainabilitysustainability . This chapter shows how a shift towards teaching a heterodox, socially and ecologically literate economics that is also sensitive towards questions of powerpower , equity and justicejustice can help overcome the autism the dominantdominant neoclassicalneoclassical school of economics is standing accused of. Such an approach may not only serve to make the field more attractive again to students but also to help restore its relevance within the sustainability context.
