IJPEE addresses pluralism's further development and 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.

Shaking off the economics lessons for swift returns
15 October, 2024
Traditional lessons in economics seem to have less of a place in this world when they fail to change students who are often more interested in the latest viral content and influencers. However, it could be the best day for educators who recognise this and speak now. They might turn to unexpected allies, such as pop culture icon Taylor Swift or maybe even social media influencer James Stephen Donaldson, better known to millions online as MrBeast. Both stars are globally celebrated not only for their fame but for their remarkable business acumen. A new wave of research suggests that using their stories might be the key to engaging Generation Z students, the so-called Zoomers, in the subject of economics. Gen Z is demographically the generation born 1997 to 2012. Swift and Donaldson were born in 1989 and 1988 respectively and themselves are mid-generation Millennials (Gen Y, born 1981 to 1996). Millennials are usually considered the digital natives, individuals who grew up in a world where personal computing and communications had become almost ubiquitous. Research in the International Journal of Pluralism and Economics Education suggests that an innovative approach to teaching economics might focus on how such celebrities, which many students already admire, develop their businesses. For instance, Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour grossed more than $1 billion, while MrBeast's YouTube "empire", which includes entrepreneurial ventures such as his Feastables brand, offers real-world examples of economics in action. From pricing strategies to branding, these two have built formidable enterprises, making them ideal case studies to explain otherwise abstract economic concepts [...]
