This Forum in the Boston Review deals with the role of economics in modern policymaking and represents a wide set of perspectives on the topic. The opening text by Suresh Naidu, Dani Rodrik and Gabriel Zucman aims to answer a range of common criticism against the modern, neoclassic science of economics and its influence in public discussions. The different comments they received criticise their proposition from positions on the right and left, in- and outside of the accepted field of economics, are strongly politically biased or neutrally attacking methodological weaknesses. The authors of the opening categorize the responses into those who call for stronger normative influence in economics, those who ask for greater methodological and institutional pluralism and one group which defends neoliberalism in its achievements for the global poor.

In summary, these articles brings together the essence of discussions in fiscal, social, political, labor and market economy, critizises it's shortcomings and advocates for multiple perspectives in the analysis of a sustainable and socially more equal economy. An easy and essential read. 

Comment from our editors:

This set of texts comprises a large variety of perspectives on an important discussion around the science of economics and its externalities. The representation of contradictory opinions of scholars and contributions from politically biased commentators in a single collection illuminates the already existing diversity of perspectives in and on economics beyond the mainstream. The discussion breaks political and methodological bubbles and should be read as a collection of articles - do not stop after the first.

Ecological Economics and Degrowth
This workshop offers an introduction to Degrowth and Ecological Economics. It starts by surveying the socio-ecological crisis and its pseudo-solutions, and then moves to Ecological Macroeconomics as a relatively recent field of scholarship within Ecological Economics.

Exploring Economics – die Online-Lernplattform für plurale Ökonomik
Auch wenn viele Ökonom_innen den Kritikpunkten zustimmen, wie die 2016 von dem Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik und der Universität Kassel erstellte Studie EconPLUS aufzeigt, ändert sich die Lehre nur sehr langsam. Deswegen entstand im Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik die Idee, selbst eine Online-Lehr- und Lernplattform zu pluraler Ökonomik zu erstellen. Diese Plattform Exploring Economics ging im Dezember 2016 online.

Textbook Economics – Hintergründe, aktuelle Analysen und Alternativen
„Textbook Economics" ist mittlerweile zu einer eigenen Problemkategorie avanciert. Gemeint sind damit die Lehren, die aus dem neoklassischen Standardmodell für die grundständige Bildung, Politikberatung und Öffentlichkeitskommunikation abgeleitet werden.

The ergodicity problem in economics
Level: schwer
The ergodicity problem in economics
This Perspective argues that ergodicity — a foundational concept in equilibrium statistical physics — is wrongly assumed in much of the quantitative economics literature. By evaluating the extent to which dynamical problems can be replaced by probabilistic ones, many economics puzzles become resolvable in a natural and empirically testable fashion.

It's a match!
Pluralism includes mainstream economics. Our campaign for pluralism, including this series, have generally focused on ideas outside the mainstream on the basis that it gets plenty of attention already so we want to spend our time exposing people to alternatives. Nevertheless, mainstream ideas deserve some attention. On top of this, a curious feature of modern economics education is that some of the best ideas from mainstream economics are not even taught to undergraduates! During this series I will explore such ideas, starting today with the market construction technique known as ‘matching’.
