Criticism of mainstream economic thinking
In research and teaching, Graupe advocates the point of view that the economy is currently dominated by an intellectual monoculture , i. H. is permeated by dogmatic mainstream thinking (especially neoclassical ) and consciously or unconsciously shapes our living environment. This intellectual monoculture is based on assumptions which, however , are to be questioned to a large extent from an epistemological , empirical or normative perspective, such as homo oeconomicus , human capital and the like. Self-criticism and multiple perspectives are therefore extremely important for the current economy.
