You may remember Arjo Klamer from his books with David Colander on "Conversations with Economists" and "The Making of An Economist". Both highly recommended.
Now he's teamed up with Deirdre McCloskey and Stephen Ziliak on a new project called "The Economic Conversation".
This is a new approach to teaching economics based on conversations, which has the potential to increase intellectual rigour not just amongst the students, but also amongst the teachers.
The authors provide a good overview of their project here in the current edition of the PAER:
"There's more than one way to skin an intellectual cat---and ... a fair and public hearing of the alternatives is crucial to the health of the economic conversation".
