4 Arguments for Pluralism

1. Epistemology: Economics is a social science and social sciences need a pluralistic approach.
2. Complexity: Complex realities cannot be grasped by only one theory.
3. Learning: Being academic means being a pluralist.
4. Liberal Arts: Critical thinking is vital to Liberal Arts and there is a inherent link between critical thinking and pluralism.
