Description:
Is it possible to teach mainstream microeconomic principles which prepare students for upper division economics courses while also exposing them to the well known heterodox dissent of Veblen, Galbraith, Boulding, Myrdal, Schumacher, and others? This article offers a method for presenting in a timely manner key institutionalist counterarguments to neoclassical microeconomics in the logical sequence familiar to those who teach the subject. Such an approach allows the micro principles course to become more of the survey it was originally intended to be for first time economics students and to offer a wider interdisciplinary view into which controversial contemporary economic issues may be more easily introduced, discussed, and understood
