Against mainstream economics: The Kick It Over Manifesto [A Call to Action at Universities]

from Climate and Capitalism
An international student movement to free the economics curriculum from its neoclassical straitjacket was launched last week at the University of California at Berkeley.

For its first action, students worldwide are being encouraged to post the following manifesto, preferably printed on brightly colored paper, on the doors and bulletin boards of their university's  economics department.
This might be a good way to stir up some political activity and raise consciousness on university campuses regarding capitalism's role in destroying the Earth's habitat for humans and other living things.
