Pluralism is rapidly gaining currency among economists. Edward Fullbrook’s A Guide to What’s Wrong With Economics (Anthem 2004) dissects the weakness of traditional economics while advocating pluralism. John Groenewegen’s Teaching Pluralism in Economics (Edward Elgar 2007) exhorts that universities must incorporate pluralism and connect to other social sciences. Mark Maier and Julie Nelson’s Introducing Economics: A Critical Guide for Teaching (M.E. Sharpe 2007) provides numerous suggestions for making economics relevant to high school students within a pluralist framework, while Jack Reardon’s A Handbook for Pluralist Economics Education (Routledge, 2008) offers a hands-on approach for incorporating pluralism into the classroom, as well as offering suggestions, guidelines and representative syllabi.
Key elements of pluralism include respect for diversity and alternative views, toleration, willingness to learn, curiosity and friendliness – all necessary to enable students to forge solutions to today’s complex problems. The increased demand for pluralism was cogently stated in a petition by French University students:
Of all the approaches to economic questions that exist, generally only one is presented to us. This approach is supposed to explain everything by means of a purely axiomatic process, as if this were the economic truth. We do not accept this dogmatism. We want a pluralism of approaches, adapted to the complexity of the objects and to the uncertainty surrounding most of the big questions in economics.
IJPEE will facilitate communication and serve as a forum for the development of pluralism and its implementation into the classroom.
 Objectives
The objectives of IJPEE are:
- to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas thereby fostering communication within the growing pluralist community;
- to advance the techniques and concepts of pluralist economics by providing practical suggestions to incorporate pluralism into the classroom;
- to offer teachers and educators interested in pluralism an outlet for their research; and
- to change the emphasis of economic education by making pluralism a central feature.
Readership
We expect an international audience, not just in Europe and North America but also in Central America, Asia and the former Soviet Union. Pluralism is vital for solving our pressing economic and ecological problems, in developed and developing countries. Contents
Issue will contain solicited articles and a book review section. In addition, two sections, “Notes, Communications and Dialogue" and “Pedagogical Techniques", will be included to foster communication and implement pluralist techniques. Each issue will contain articles of interest to all pluralist economists, as well as more specialized articles devoted to teaching pluralism in the classroom, book reviews and the notes section. IJPEE will also publish special issues devoted to solving current problems from a pluralist perspective. Subject Coverage
