Unique among economics textbooks, contains many of the same topics as mainstream textbooks, but includes alternatives to the mainstream approach to economics; including Post-Keynesian, Austrian, Marxian, radical, feminist, institutionalist, and other approaches. Teaches students about alternative schools of economic thought, deepens understanding of the dominant approach to economics. Draws inspiration from Richard Wolff and Stephen Resnick’s Contending Economic Theories. One objective is to teach students that economics is a discourse, and no single voice has a monopoly on the truth about economics.

Centers around student needs through two premises: that students are motivated to study economics if they see that it relates to their own lives. and that students learn best when they are first confronted with a problem, and then led through the process of solving that problem.
