This volume appears at a time when we are seeing an unprecedented degree of reflection on the discipline of economics. Economic and finan-cial crises have sparked off periods of reflection in the past, but this time feels different. Mainstream economics has evolved somewhat to reflect the changing environment. At the same time, the policy discourse has been drawing increasingly on a wider range of ideas from other schools of thought in order to address crises in the economy, in finance, in climate, in health and in state provision of physical and social infrastructure. We are beginning to see signs of these changes being embedded in economics education, ensuring a more lasting set of changes to economic theorizing in the future. A key factor has been the organization and activities of the international student movement (notably in the form of Rethinking Economics and INET’s Young Scholars Initiative) seeking a more pluralist education from a wider philosophical and historical perspective. Although it has been a focus of heterodox schools of thought for a long time, reflection on the discipline is being given new life.
