Microeconomics for all

This is the title given by Project Syndicate to my op-ed piece about microeconomics teaching. The home page of the INET curriculum project is here.

What’s the Use of Economics? Teaching the Dismal Science After the Crisis

This book of essays edited by the excellent Diane Coyle was published on 15th September 2012; the Amazon page is here. Diane also has a column posted on Vox.

I have a very short note in it but many of the other entries are fuller and more rewarding to read.
