This study analyses the increasingly non-plural nature of the Australian economics curriculum. The main explanation for this narrowing is that the social science wing of economics is having increasing difficulty in reproducing itself within traditional centres of economics teaching. Evidence suggests the best response to this problem is greater differentiation and institutional independence for economics as a social science. Specifically, the social science wing should differentiate itself as the discipline of 'political economy' within faculties of social science. This strategy of differentiation and independence can potentially bring about the revitalisation of the social science wing of the discipline. This would be to the benefit of economics education as a whole.
