More Pluralism

considerations about the post-autistic economics movement relevance

Authors

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the proposal of the Post-Autistic Economics Movement (PAE), since its origins until our days, in the context of the current debate about the need of pluralism as a desirable standard for the evolution of economics, especially for the teaching of the discipline. The paper discusses the scientific character of economics, taking into account PAE’s criticism, looking at this movement’s history and recent developments, in the light of the criticism on eco- nomic thought raised after the effects of 2008 Financial Crisis. In particular, the paper focuses on the possible impacts of movements like this in the teaching of economics on this post-crisis environment, which demands greater pluralism and methodological freedom in economic thought and methodology.
