Right on the change thing. I read Stiglitz's Whither Socialism on and off, in between other stuff, and it seems he has blown up the neo-classical theory pretty well.
Of course, that is just a tempest in the academic teapot. CHANGE will come when there's a mass movement outside of and inside of academia calling for it. Back in the 1930s, the mass discontent with the economy's state pushed the economics profession to embrace Keynesian economics. (When things settled down, Keynesian economics was effectively neutered.) Back in the 1960s and early 1970s, the anti-war movement spawned URPE and actually forced the mainstream mavens to pay attention for awhile. I wouldn't expect CHANGE to ever come from inside the economics profession.
