(2022) Ten Books Every ECON Student Should Read, Challenge. https://doi.org/10.1080/05775132.2022.2156183https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14078/3043In the aftermath of the financial crisis, student groups demonstrated against mainstream economics with its emphasis on abstract mathematical models at the expense of real-world issues. To this end, I have reviewed ten books, published in the last five years, to introduce students to the criticisms levelled against mainstream textbook theory, to offer diverse perspectives, to address contemporary challenges including climate change and economic inequality, to introduce modern monetary theory, and to highlight the limitations of radical left-wing rhetoric. These books confirm that the way ahead in economics education is through addressing real-world issues and upholding pluralist perspectives.enAll Rights ReservedECON 101teaching economicshumanistic economicsArticle Post-Printhttps://doi.org/10.1080/05775132.2022.2156183
