Professor Andrew Trigg on Heterodox Economics

Professor Trigg joins us to discuss his new book, Heterodox Economics. This book traces the heterodox tradition from its origins in the anti-capitalism ideas of the first half of the nineteenth century, through to Keynes and the present day. He shows the plurality of ideas which inform its history – including decolonisation, feminism and environmental thought – and the methodological challenge these ideas present to mainstream economics.

Andrew Trigg is Professor of Economics at the Open University and a founding member of the Association for Heterodox Economics (AHE).
