Abstract
In this review of introductory-level college textbooks for microeconomics we begin with the premise that heterodox economics is to be taken as independent from, and alternative to, the neoclassical mainstream. We argue that pluralistic curricula and pedagogical strategies should reflect this, rather than the too-common relegation of heterodoxy to a critical fringe or to nascent, yet fundamentally consistent, lines of inquiry. After defining common elements that we believe would be essential to a suitable introduction to heterodox economics, we review each of the four textbooks in search of a volume that is not just heretical to neoclassical economics, but truly blasphemous.
