ABSTRACT
This comment distinguishes pluralism as a normative concept and as a descriptive concept, and assumes the former depends on the latter. It then discusses differences between types of approaches in economics from the perspective of specialisation as a fundamental process in the world generating different kinds of species or approaches. The implication is that, contrary to what many heterodox advocates of pluralism believe, economics is becoming more diverse, not less so. The comment concludes by outlining a complexity-holistic view of pluralism in which diverse approaches all depend on one another and interact in a highly interconnected environment much like an eco-system.
