A chapter in Heterodox Economics: Legacy and Prospects (2022), edited by Lynne Chester and Tae-Hee Jo. World Economics Association Books, pp. 204-251.
Abstract: This chapter is a study of ideology in economics—both within heterodoxy and the mainstream—that examines if, as some critics argue, heterodox economics is ideologically biased and, thereby, unable to assess mainstream economics on scientific grounds and to provide a valid theoretical alternative to mainstream economics. The aim of the chapter is not only to defend heterodox economics from such ill-founded arguments but also, more importantly, to better understand the nature of heterodox economics as scientific activity explaining the social provisioning process in the social and historical context.
