Heterodox economics, Pluralism, Epistemic peers, Economic imperialismAbstract
The objective of this paper is to recognize the relationship between methodological pluralism and heterodox economics along with two drifts: reverse imperialism and the debate between epistemic peers. In the first section, four basic varieties of economic pluralism will be presented. Next, the similarity and difference between heterodox economics and mainstream economics will be exposed. The third section will consider in favor of the link between pluralism and reverse imperialism; while the latter will embrace the idea that an honest debate between conciliatory positions of epistemic peers such as would be beneficial to both heterodox and mainstream economics.
