Isn't it better to not teach something that is wrong than teach something just for the sake of teaching?



If you're a hyper-wealthy property owner of the type who can afford to fund an entire economics department, the answer is "no."


So, outside some very obvious heterodox economics departments, I haven't seen this. Do you have some examples mind?


Arguably you have to teach the highly abstracted and mathematical fundamentals of economics first, before you can go and dismantle them (or rather improve on them). Problem is that the latter part is frequently neglected.
