What wonderfully good news! Once again, another group of brave students of economics at a university have risen against the “dismal science” and the madness of the neo-clasical economics, its ways and its teachings.
I am delighted to hear that the Manchester students have seen the light, like their fellow students at other universities, such as the class of 2000 at the Sorbonne.
Before coming to the story of the Manchester students, let me recall what I wrote about the Sorbonne students a while back: “In Praise of the Economic Students at the Sorbonne: The Class of 2000”. This is how I began the piece:
