Comment from our editors:

Ha-Joon Chang's contribution is a crucial wrap-up on the economic discipline. In a popular scientific way he is able to explain what dominant paradigms are, the importance of Economics for public life and the importance of heterodox Economics for both acadamic and non-academic listeners. Highly recommended!
