Title: Potential Pitfalls in Economics Education: Pedagogical Opportunities
Abstract: Economics is often accused of being complicit with much of what has gone wrong with economic life in the last thirty years, such as failing to predict the global financial crisis of 2007–2008. This and various other problems that have come to light have led even its proponents to question the capacity of the discipline to account for real-world events or for assisting in policy formulation. In this paper, I argue in favour of an alternative conceptualisation for economics and economics education, and discuss the resulting insights and implications for teaching and learning that can enable young people to grasp disciplinary knowledge in economics.

Title: Potenziali insidie dell'educazione economica: Opportunità pedagogiche
Abstract: L'economia è spesso accusata di essere la complice di molti degli errori che hanno segnato la vita economica negli ultimi trent'anni, come la mancata previsione della crisi finanziaria globale del 2007–2008. Unitamente a ciò, altri problemi emergenti di varia natura hanno addirittura condotto i sostenitori di questa tesi a mettere in dubbio la capacità della disciplina di rendere conto degli eventi del mondo reale o di contribuire nella formulazione delle politiche. In questo articolo, argomento in favore di una concettualizzazione alternativa dell'economia e dell'educazione economica e discuto le intuizioni che ne derivano e cosa ciò implichi per l'insegnamento e l'apprendimento – auspicando che ciò aiuti i giovani a meglo comprendere la disciplina economica.
