"Today's neoclassical economist is an emperor with no clothes who's fooled us all long enough."
As noted in a BBC Radio 4 broadcast ‘At universities from Glasgow to Kolkata, economics students are fighting their tutors over how to teach the subject in the wake of the crash.
‘The banking crash plunged economies around the world into crisis - but it also created questions for economics itself. Even the Queen asked why hardly any economists saw the meltdown coming. Yet economics graduates still roll out of exam halls and off to government departments or the City with much the same toolkit that, just five years ago, produced a massive crash.
‘Now economics students around the world are demanding a radical change of course. In a manifesto signed by 65 university economics associations from over 30 different countries, students decry a 'dramatic narrowing of the curriculum' that they say prefers algebra to the real world and teaches them there's only one way to run an economy.
