I was at the University of Copenhagen last year studying Economic
Development. I expected a very heterodox tradition considering the
enormous Danish aid program and the influence of Gunnar Myrdal.
Surprisingly, I had a hard time finding a prof who would disagree
with anything in the mainstream textbooks. Even scarier was the
complete acceptance of this by the students. I tried to get the
post-autistic movement going there, but ran into too much resistance
from fellow students. As I travelled around, I found this to be the
case throughout Scandinavia. Extremely creative social programs, but
repressive economics departments. I wonder why? Maybe the
Scandinavians on the list can explain this strange phenomenon.
The only place of refuge I found was the University of Roskilde in
Denmark. They have a heterodox economic development program, but
it's looked down upon by most because it lacks math.
