The article is a formal response to the debate between the economists Diane Coyle and Howard Reed, whose articles were published online by Prospect magazine in 2018. Then, it was taken by Rethinking Economics as representative for the vision of the global network which advocates for changing economics curricula. In fact, it clearly solves some issues within the debate around pluralism by explaining its common misunderstandings among academics and its true - often mislead - meaning.

Evolutionsökonomie
Zunächst erläutert Manuel Wäckerle die Grundzüge der der Evolutionsökonomik und präsentiert eine kurze Ideengeschichte der Theorieschule, wobei er insbesondere auf Ansätze von Marx, Schumpeter und Veblen Bezug nimmt. Wäckerle hebt die Rolle von Institutionen in der Evolutionsökonomik hervor, erläutert unterschiedliche Verständnisse von Institutionen und geht dabei auf Gouvernementalität, soziales Lernen, Wissen und Macht ein. Darauf folgt eine wissenschaftstheoretische Annäherung, insbesondere an die Ontologie der Evolutionsökonomik und deren Hauptobjekt der Analyse.
