Harvard students who participated in a walk-out of economics professor Greg Mankiw’s class on Wednesday issued an open letter accusing Mankiw of pushing a biased view of economics that perpetuates inequality.
“As Harvard undergraduates, we enrolled in Economics 10 hoping to gain a broad and introductory foundation of economic theory,” the students wrote. “Instead, we found a course that espouses a specific—and limited—view of economics that we believe perpetuates problematic and inefficient systems of economic inequality in our society today.”
The students also wrote that because Harvard routinely churns out future world leaders in government and business, the school had to be especially cautious to provide students with a fair, solid education.
