“Jiesheng Stiglitz is hadlry heterodox he just uses informational economics in a way that produces results against the neoclassical model. If you want really heterodox economics, I'd read economists like Ben Fine and Deirdre McCloskey, both of whom I recommend.The list here is specifically about economic history; only Ha-Joon Chang in your list comes close to writing true economic history, and even then it's more political economy with a bit of history thrown in as evidence (not to do him down I think he's excellent). Ditto Rodrik, who I also like a lot. They're all very well known writers, and I'd be a little shocked if I met a serious development economist who hadn't read at least two of the three. On the other hand, the writers in the list above probably aren't widely read among economists generally, let alone development economists.If you read these historians (and all of them are historians primarily, though some are versed in economics, Gaskell being the exception to both) you'll find that all of them are works that caused a massive ruction in the areas they study all contribute something really new as well.”
