Review of Tavasci & Ventimiglia (eds.) Teaching the History of Economic Thought

Guizzo, Danielle

Abstract

Daniela Tavasci and Luigi Ventimiglia, two scholars from the School of Economics and Finance at Queen Mary University of London (uk), edited a volume that brings together the contributions of economics educators to the teaching of the
history of economic thought. The book addresses insightful considerations about the pedagogical challenges and suitability that scholars can face when teaching the history of the discipline, following a similar approach as recent publications by Rethinking Economics (Fischer et alii 2017) about how to teach real-world, pluralist economics.
