Heterodox economics is a term used to describe any approach to economics that is different from the mainstream. It is therefore unsurprising that there are many synonyms for the term. Some alternatives include unorthodox economics, non-traditional economics, radical economics, and progressive economics. Other synonyms might include critical economics, Marxist economics, feminist economics, ecological economics, institutional economics, and behavioral economics. Some of these approaches focus on aspects that are often ignored by mainstream economics, such as the impact of social and political structures, inequality, power dynamics, and environmental sustainability. For those seeking to explore economics from alternative perspectives, these synonyms offer a starting point for deeper research and exploration.
