Hi everyone. In 3 weeks time I will be giving a talk titled �what is wrong with the mainstream economics� and the audience will be mostly mainstream economists and students! I feel this is a good opportunity to influence some students but also feel very nervous:o( I am quite confident about my own area, which is international trade. However, I cannot limit my talk to international trade and I need help. Any good books/articles (including internet), your own notes, any ideas & advice .... just anything would be greatly appreciated. Particularly the philosophical/methodological weaknesses of the mainstream economics are off interest. For example, do you know a good criticism of the utility concept? The assumptions of the mainstream economics about human nature? Excessive mathematicasion of economics? Anything will do.
Many thanks for your help.
