ABSTRACT

The neoclassical school of economics has been the dominant school of economics almost for a century. Neoclassical principles are taught in university courses as the foundations of economic science, without even mentioning alternative schools of thought in economics discipline. As Gee observes, cin fact, the orthodox economist would regard the type of economics taught as being definitive, rather than as belonging to a particular school among alternative equally valid schools’ (1990, p. 71).
