Open Economics ND
Sign Now
We are in support of diversifying the education in the field of economics at the University of Notre Dame. We crave a challenge, discussing the assumptions and implications of the things we learn rather than just glossing over an economic theory without seriously questioning it. We desire an overview of the history of economic thought, exploring both the current mainstream theories and their many critiques. We would like to see Notre Dame hire new faculty specializing in heterodox theories and offer a courselist which approaches economics from a plurality of views.

Great initiative. Neoclassical economic is basically just a mathematical game based on faulty assumptions about human behavior.

Economics is fundamentally a social science... here's hoping that economics instruction begins heading in that direction. Best of luck!

Economics is not a physics-like discipline but a social and cultural science. For this reason, pluralism and interdisciplinarity constitute its essential ingredients which need to be fostered in order

The reality is that there is no coherent mainstream economic theory in economics anymore. Just look at the recent winners of the Nobel prize in economics! Teaching a diverse curriculum is essentia

We cannot solve the problems of the 21st Century with the models and world views of the 18th and 19th. Please make Notre Dame a leader in developing modern methods of studying and guiding economic performance and policy to meet our changing needs.
