Abstract

This chapter delves into the crisis of mainstream macroeconomics, critiquing its excessive formalism and disconnection from real-world phenomena. It highlights the failures of neoclassical synthesis and New Keynesian approaches, which have led to repeated crises and a loss of credibility. The chapter proposes a heterodox alternative, combining Austrian Economics and New Institutional Economics, to offer a more realistic and comprehensive analysis. It also explores the impact of digitalization on economic education, advocating for the use of digital tools like FRED for teaching macroeconomics. The chapter concludes with a case study on the Phillips curve, demonstrating the practical application of these theories. By reading this chapter, you will gain a deeper understanding of the shortcomings of mainstream macroeconomics, explore alternative perspectives, and learn how digital tools can enhance economic education.
This is part of Sánchez-Bayón’s PhD dissertation in Education at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos.
