What is Heterodox Economics? is a terrific book. If you are a heterodox economist, an aspiring heterodox economist, or an engaged student of heterodox economics, I expect that you will appreciate this book very much. I also expect that many scholars trained in social sciences other than economics will appreciate this book and learn a lot from it. If you are a mainstream economist, I hope very much that you will read this book. It could make you a better economist, and it might be a small step toward making the discipline of economics a more richly rewarding space for economists of all stripes - and for our students. I'll cross my fingers, but I won't hold my breath. Timothy Koechlin, Review of Political Economy The goal of the book, expressed in the title, is to convey the essence of heterodoxy to a readership perplexed by the folk rites of the economics profession...What emerges here is a set of intellectual life stories. They tell of how the interviewees entered economics, of their professional trajectories, of what they read and with whom they studied when they were young, of how they teach James K. Galbraith, Oeconomia
