History of Economic Thought, Methodology, and Heterodox Approaches
Guideline:
Covers studies about schools of economic thought from pre-classical to contemporary developments (B1-B3) and current heterodox approaches to various economic issues (B5). Also covers studies about methodology (B4). The categories for B5 were created to accommodate the recent substantial developments in non-mainstream (non-neoclassical) economic approaches to contemporary economic problems. Studies about an economic subject (or subjects) adopting a given heterodox approach should be cross-classified under the appropriate B5 category and also under the appropriate subject category (or categories).
