Economics

A heterodox teaching of neoclassical microeconomic theory

---

In this article, I advocate a different way to teach neoclassical
microeconomic theory to graduate students in heterodox programs that
accomplishes the goals of providing them with a critical and ‘technical’
understanding of neoclassical theory as well as a critical awareness of how
heterodox microeconomic theory is organised, structured, and different. In this
way, it is possible to calm the fears of many heterodox economists that the
complete dismissal of neoclassical microeconomic theory is not a nihilistic
endeavour, but a connected prelude to delineating a heterodox microeconomic
theory. It is done by teaching microeconomic theory as a critical historical
discourse, or more precisely a historical story, that deals with its evolution
and its theoretical and empirical shortcomings that place the theory in the
incoherent state that it is in today
