Anti-Mankiw....it's happening

A while back one of my comrades lit the fire for the Anti Mankiw Movement. It's now come into fruition, with some great chapter critiques of Mankiw's book here.

And now introducing...The Anti Mankiw Blog, starting with a post concerning the recent Harvard OWS solidarity walkout of Mankiw's EC 10 class:

"Choosing not to discuss such an economically-relevant and important topic demonstrates a severe lack of intellectual and moral integrity on the part of Mankiw and his textbook. In other words, the whole market-centric approach of Mankiw's course is fundamentally at odds with how the world works in reality.

So given that Mankiw’s course, textbook, blog, and ideology are at odds with the actual workings of social and economic life, and even help to perpetuate our societal and economic problems through producing this image of the individual as completely oriented toward market values and ideas, it’s probably time to expand the economic conversation towards more pluralism and away from hegemonic, ideologue set-in-stone “principles”. Indeed, this is why this blog is Anti Mankiw." More here

This blog is a collective effort and open to new recruits interested in joining this constructive conversation.
