- Abstract
- This chapter synthesizes the work presented in the previous 18 chapters of this book, and, in this way, enables pathways for heterdox economics to emerge out of its niche on the periphery into the mainstream. The existing mainstream does not embrace heterodox economics in its identification of the discipline. Thus, pluralism is anathema to it, and it maintains instead a resolute, monistic approach in which methodological individualism and systemic stability through market forces in effect define economics. In this monisitc intellectual environment, pluralism in economics cannot exist by definition. Out of the synthesis employed in this chapter a strategy with diversity emerges that is based on a framework of epistemic coherence. This set-up could provide a variety of pathways to a new pluralist mainstream of economics-learning, research and policy-making.
