Some economists today speak of a '''heterodox tradition''' in [[economics]].  It is "heterodox" in that it is contrary to mainstream economics, and arguably began when [[Jean-Jacques Rousseau]], a Swiss political philosopher of the Enlightenment and purported father of the French Revolution, wrote his book ''Discourse on Political Economy'' (Economie Politique) (1755), which became the entry on the subject in Diderot's Encyclopedie.

'''Heterodox economics''' refers to a relatively small but growing ''movement'' among economists who are seeking to gain acceptance of their ideas into mainstream economic thinking and scholarly discourse.  Thinkers within the movement seek to organize various economic traditions, including post-Keynesianism, old institutionalism, feminist, social, and Marxian and Austrian economics under its new umbrella, according to the movement's view of what such traditions hold in common. In doing so, the heterodox economics movement seeks to distinguish its conceptualizations from what it views as "mainstream economics", which the movement engages yet opposes on some fundamental concepts.
