The goal of this brief report is to put in one place some of the works that have come out of the movement to reform economics education. True to their training, the student movement for pluralism in economics education has been marked by an impressive amount of research: both on economics education itself and on more topical subjects within economics.

In der Wirtschaft
Im Rahmen der Veranstaltungsreihe der Initiative "Kritische Nachhaltigkeit in Theorie und Praxis" mit dem Titel "Ökologie, Krise und Kapitalismus – Ist eine andere Welt noch möglich?" stellt Frederick Heussner den Zusammenhang der derzeitigen „Vielfach-Krise” theoretisch wie praktisch dar. Er geht dabei im ersten Teil auf die grundlegenden Mechanismen kapitalistischer Krisenentstehung und -berarbeitung ein, um diese im zweiten Teil im Rahmen eines historischen Überblicks über die Kapitalistische Entwicklung seit dem zweiten Weltkrieg zu veranschaulichen. Dabei wird deutlich, dass aktuelle ökonomische Krisenphänomene nicht isoliert, sondern als Teil der größeren krisenhaften Entwicklung des globalen Kapitalismus zu verstehen sind.
Klima, Krieg und Inflation – Über Zusammenhänge, Widersprüche und Hintergründe
The blog post by Marc Lavoie contrasts what he perceives as the two main interpretations of the current inflationary tendencies (the 'excessive demand inflation' story and the 'profit inflation' story) and contrasts them with a third interpretation. This interpretation acknowledes rising profits but argues in favor of a different mechanism that centers on changes in the relative composition of costs.

In most economics classes we focus on the production and consumption of goods and services, but what happens to the product and its packaging after it’s consumed? Waste disposal is a crucial step in the production process and as the theme of this month’s World Environment Day is #BeatPlasticPollution, we use the example of plastic bottles.

Workers' Rights in a Global Economy
Making sense of economists and their world in a persuasive and entertaining style, Arjo Klamer, shows that economics is as much about how people interact as it is about the models, the mathematics, the econometrics, the theories and the ideas that come from the enormous aggregate of economics literature. Knowing and understanding economics requires both bookwork and mingling with other economists.
Speaking of Economics
In a capitalist system, consumers, investors, and corporations orient their activities toward a future that contains opportunities and risks. How actors assess uncertainty is a problem that economists have tried to solve through general equilibrium and rational expectations theory. Powerful as these analytical tools are, they underestimate the future's unknowability by assuming that markets, in the aggregate, correctly forecast what is to come.

The discrepancies between this model and the reality it claims to address are then attributed to particular imperfections in reality itself.
