Then why are you surprised that a podcast/book about economics represents the dominant academic view of economics?

  > dominant academic view of economics Chicago School is the conservative view of economics, not the dominant view.

    Would you say freakeconomics is presenting heterodox economic theory? And if so how?

      Nondominant != heterodox.

        Ok. I think this is becoming a pretty strained argument. Leftists don’t generally like mainstream economics and subscribe to more niche segments. That’s ok - and there is a lot to criticize. But it’s also wrong that freakeconomics is peddling “conservative ideas” unless you do agree economics itself as an academic field is conservative coded.

        this is wrong for economics. The dominant view among economists is largely homogenous.
