	Christian Arnsperger and Yanis Varoufakis, "What Is Neoclassical Economics?", Post-Autistic Economics Review, ...
		In short, the critique of neoclassical economics is bound to be as effective as sophisticated is its definition of the opposition.
		Neoclassical economists increasingly sought to distance themselves from the assumption that preferences are fixed and exogenous.
		The second [see (2)] is that neoclassical economists are innocent of the charge that they are keeping quite on the three meta-axioms intentionally, so as to enhance their method’s discursive power (we accept, therefore, their own denials that they would have conceivably done such a thing).

		economics is the most scientific “social science.” Yet non-economist critics such as E.F. Schumacher tell us that “to produce [economic] figures about the unknown, the current method is to make a guess about something or other—called an assumption—and to derive an estimate from it by subtle calculation.
		Finally, the neoclassical theory doesn’t even have categories in which to entertain hypotheses about “alienation,” “powerlessness,” “self-management,” “dignity,” “health and safety,” etc. The bottom line of the theory is like the bottom line in the workplace.

	Economics: Debunking Economics Overview
		Debunking Economics takes you behind the sanitized, airbrushed view of economics given by its textbooks, and details the many critiques which have been made of economic theory by economists, in a fashion which is accessible to the intelligent non-economist.
		Debunking Economics is listed as one of the UK's Political Studies Association's top seven "recent books which seem to make a significant contribution to the development of political science in general, or are likely to be of wide interest in the field".
		Debunking Economics reveals that neoclassical economic doctrines are faulty not because conditions have changed over time, but because the fundamental assumptions from which such doctrines have been derived are less than self-evident.

	Why I Am Not an Austrian Economist
		Economics is not, as ignorant positivists repeat again and again, backward because it is not "quantitative." It is not quantitative because there are no constants.

		Knowing that economics as taught and practiced today is incomplete, students who really want to understand the economy should be open to the ideas of other schools.

	CELCEE - Is Neoclassical Economics Still Entrepreneurless?
		Although the theoretical firm is entrepreneur-less according to neoclassical economics, a concession made in part because of the entrepreneur’s analytical intractability, many analysts have remarked that the entrepreneur has often been the crucial factor stimulating innovation and prosperity.
		As a result, there have been increasing efforts to rectify the current dearth of references to entrepreneurs in graduate economics textbooks.
		These contemporary efforts to model the entrepreneurial function within mainstream economics have been somewhat successful at capturing its significant components, if not the complete picture.

		Abstract: We review and evaluate some recent contributions on the modeling of entrepreneurship within a neoclassical framework, analyzing how and to what extent the fundamental ingredients suggested in the social science literature were captured.
		We show how these approaches are important in stressing the main elements of a complex picture without being able to completely describe it.
