Some Harvard Students Are Protesting Mankiw's View of Economics

Students at Harvard have begun to protest against the neo-classical economics that they are being taught by Greg Mankiw. This surprises me because Mankiw is more subtle than most conservative economists. He usually does not give them the conservative answer for questions. Instead he frames the problems that they are given to solve so that a conservative answer pops out. In any case, this is only happening at Harvard because some of the students are following the economic debates and they are reading some of the criticisms of Mankiw's op-eds in the NYT. Some students have jumped to the defense of Mankiw. He is a prominent economist and they are using the textbook that he wrote. Moreover, Harvard has its share of conservative students whose view of the American dream is making it to the top 1% even if it is at the expense of the bottom 99%.
