Abstract | Economics as a science not only investigates what is (as a positive science) and what should be (as a normative science), but influences, through its fundamental ideas, what facts and norms are recognized as such in society. This holds especially true for economic education. [The] article explains this thesis and elaborates, in particular, how this form of education stipulates a particular vision of human beings worldwide. First, [the author shows] how economics actively seeks to influence the inscription of the commonplace image of the human through economics education. Second, [she discusses] economics as a textbook science in Thomas Kuhn's sense: as a science incapable of giving the students any plural or critical understanding of their self and the world. In the third step, [the author identifies] the essential features of the human image lying at the base of the economic curriculum; an image [...] which splits society into mere cogs in the machine of the economy on the one side and omnipotent social engineers on the other side (Original übernommen). |
