| dc.description.abstract | Garratt (2025, p.164) echoing Hodgson (2021) reiterated the limited changes in the teaching of undergraduate macroeconomics in the aftermath of the global financial crisis (GFC). Lanata-Briones (2025, p.99) noted a common student grievance in macroeconomics is the excessive theoretical content that comes at the expense of the real-world. Likewise, Fuentes (2025, p.135) stated that the excessive emphasis on mathematical technicalities makes macroeconomics less interesting for students. Earlier, de Muijnck and Tieleman (2021) had argued that economics education should focus on pluralism and the real world instead of abstract mathematics. While there exists the alternative of the online CORE text, de Muijnck et al. (2023, p.88) highlight that it is “not as radical as one might hope” (p.88). Similarly, Michell (2023) critiques that without access to tutoring, students may find it difficult. | |
