in this article, author Neil Shanks writes about a "people's economics" approach to teaching K-graduate economics, an approach he argues should replace the more traditional and pervasive neoclassical approach. Similar to the shift from 'great white men and wars' history to social and 'bottom up' history, Shanks believes a people's economics is more accurate and inclusive, allows for students to see themselves in the curriculum, and encourages an active and critical approach to economic issues. He identifies many resources for teachers who want to learn more about teaching from a people's economics perspective.
