The Association for Heterodox Economics

The Association for Heterodox Economics is a professional organization that promotes diverse and critical approaches to economic thinking. Unlike mainstream economics, which often emphasizes markets, capitalism, and mathematical models, heterodox economics explores broader perspectives, including social, political, and environmental factors. It encourages questioning traditional theories and supports alternative ideas like ecological economics, institutional economics, and Marxist theory. The association aims to foster open discussion, research, and education that reflect the complexities of real-world economies beyond conventional models. Overall, it seeks to advance a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of economic issues.
