Heterodox economics

That's a great place to leave it.

As usual, Phil's book that we've been talking about, Can Heterodox Economics Make a Difference?, has way more in it than we've got time to unpack.

So that's where we're going to leave it for today.

But I've been talking to Dr. Phil Armstrong, and I'll link to where you can find Phil's book.

And you mentioned the financial crisis and the fall of communism and COVID.

And I feel like I've noticed that each event and each shock, there is a recognition of the pluralistic voices that come out of economics and heterodox economics has always been at the forefront of new ideas.

And certainly Edward has always been committed to pluralistic voices within the field.

And from your perspective, how has economics, how has heterodox economics contributed to the development of the broader field of economics and political economy?

Yeah, you should tell everyone that Edward was advancing the core before all the activists in England decided to develop the core.

This is the idea of transforming economics.

He was at the forefront of that all the way back.

So the heterodox economics and the community around it, that in a lot of ways sort of coalesced around Edward.
