ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the Brazilian teaching of economics, which we argue presents a relatively greater level of pluralism. We set out to correlate the level of economic plurality with the evolution of the Brazilian standard curriculum since the beginning of the 20th century. Both the presence of history of economic thought as a mandatory discipline and that the official journal ranking system gives greater weight to heterodox journals fosters a plural environment. Besides that, we also conducted a survey with professors of economics. We argue they see the necessity to rethink and improve the teaching of economics, while preserving pluralism.
