Is economics being taught correctly?

The Real Story

Available for over a year

Economics students at Manchester University in the UK set up the Post Crash Economics Society in 2013, after complaining that their curriculum was too narrow, and ignored the fact that mainstream economists had failed to predict the financial crisis. Zach Ward-Perkins was one of the society's co-founders, and is now writing a book about economics education. (Photo credit: BBC)
