Ok, I got your attention.

You should stop using that word.  Sound, modern economics
cannot be "heterodox" -- it's simply "correct"  "wrong"  or
"currently controversial until tested".  "Modern" might work.

Erroneous older economics is "obsolete"  "discredited"  "wrong".
Or "classical"  "neo-classical"  or whatever indicates out-dated.

"Heterodoxic economics"  means  "nuts talking to each other."
(*These* are the obsolete economists.)

       Mason     words matter!
