Summary

"Crossing the Mainstream is a collection of papers authored by present and former colleagues, students, and collaborators of Professor Charles K. Wilber on the occasion of his retirement from the Department of Economics at the University of Notre Dame. By offering alternative methods of analysis and tackling ethical issues and unanswered methodological questions in their field, contributors to this volume "cross the mainstream" of neoclassical economics to challenge the status quo of the discipline.
The result is a perspective that yields a richer and more productive understanding of economics than is rendered by traditional approaches."--BOOK JACKET.
