ABSTRACT

Demands for pluralism in economics education have been widespread in recent years. As change in the universities is slow and piecemeal, we present a comparative approach to economics which builds the intellectual basis for the online learning platform Exploring Economics (www.exploring-economics.org/en/). We find central categories in which the 10 schools of economic thought selected show meta-theoretical patterns, which may not only serve as a guide to economics education but may also be relevant for economics research.
