Philosopher and political economist John Stuart Mill laid several foundations for liberal thinking, amongst others with the harm principle: everyone should be given the individual freedom - and not be hindered by e.g. state intervention - to act as s/he wants as long as no other person is harmed by this action. A short insight in his book On Liberty.

Deliberate Misunderstandings in Economics: What Pluralism Really Means
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.

Selbstbeschränkung durch einseitige Vorgaben Ergebnisse der Analyse der Lehrinhalte - Studie EconPLUS
Für einen großen Teil der Befragten sind die vorherrschenden Lehrbücher weitgehend hinreichend in Bezug auf die Wiedergabe des Stands der Forschung, der Vermittlung von in der Wirtschaft zu beobachtenden Problemen und in Bezug auf die Vermittlung von pluralen Ansätzen. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass sich die grundsätzliche Kritik an den Lehrinhalten bis dato kaum zu einer Kritik an den einschlägigen Lehrbüchern weiterentwickelt hat (vgl. Urban/Van Treek 2016).

Die Gespenster der Moralphilosophie
Level: beginner
Die Gespenster der Moralphilosophie
Ein neues Traktat von Papst Franziskus löst in marktliberalen Kreisen Furore aus. Die heftige Gegenkritik wirft die Frage nach der Beziehung zwischen der Theologie und der Ökonomik auf: Wieso fühlen sich Ökonom*innen überhaupt herausgefordert? Unsere Spurensuche führt zu den theologischen Anleihen im ökonomischen Denken – die Ethik der unsichtbaren Hand. Ein Essay von Max Hauser.
