Reviews

Overall, the book calls for a coherent, accepting, and tolerant economics discipline. This involves different pluralist schools of thought communicating and learning from each other. It is a call for coherence in philosophical consistency. Therefore, Reclaiming Pluralism in Economics is a very good resource in the ongoing debates on pluralism in economics. It is not just a useful in heterodox economics; it is also a good starting point for encouraging pluralism in mainstream economics. This book is a rich literature on history in economics and how these relate to more current affairs in the economics discipline. - American Review of Political Economy
