A very nice attempt at putting a clear and pragmatic way of reforming economics education. The book manages to cover a wide range of points related to three main issues in this context: 1. the need to address normative questions of economics and economic policy, 2- the need for a pluralist approach to economics, and 3- the tools through which this shift can be achieved. I especially enjoyed the first and second parts which gave a nice overview of and raised serious flags about long-standing issues in modern economics. The third part essentially addresses people in action: students (more particularly the few in the world having a say in their socio-political systems), teachers and professors, as well as governments.
