A fascinating set of articles (via Marginal Revolution) all three or four paragraphs in length about how people like Cowen, Laibson, Alesina and others see economics teaching changing as a result of the crisis. Focused on macro.

"The author addresses what is versus what should be taught in economics at the tertiary level and the way economics is taught versus how it should be taught. He argues that we need to assist students in recognizing the shortcomings of simplistic analyses of old before students rightly dismiss them as irrelevant and then wrongly dismiss all of economics as extraneous to modern day life."
