[PeDAGoG] CORE (Curriculum Open-access Resources in Economics)

[Steven J. Klees]

Dear Christian,

The CORE curriculum is an improvement over standard approaches in economics
departments but it is fundamentally neoclassical.  It moves away from
neoliberalism but is firmly ensconced in a liberal view of markets and
capitalism.  Putting lipstick on a pig is, to me, an appropriate
characterization.  Check out the attached New Yorker article.

Best,
Steve
