These seem to be resources for providing the student with an overview of schools of thought, fields, and the history of economics.
- Exploring Economics is set up by the Network for Pluralist Economics. Here is their overview of Post Keynesianism.
- Economics Education is a webpage "built by Sam de Muijnck and Joris Tieleman of Rethinking Economics Netherlands." Here is their page on feminist economics. Here is their page on Post Keynesian economics. This is their page on (original) institutional economics.
- The Institute for New Economic Thinking supports Goncalo Fonseca's History of Economic Thought web site.
- Apparently, the recently departed Mark Hayes, building on work by Philip Aretis and Victoria Chick, had a lot to do with maintaining the Post-Keynesian Economics Society. Every once in a while I look at their working papers and symposia.
- Rethinking Economics should be in this list.

Is the complaint of Rethinking economics justified? Actually, there are a lot of economic historians and economic sociologists. Even within economics itself there is a lot of interest in social processes, for instance in the new institutional economics of Douglas North.
Yes, but how is such work looked at in tenure decisions, research assessment exercises, and placement decisions? I believe that a few years back, a petition had to be drawn up to keep History of Political Economy (?) is some dominant citation index. And I think economists tend to cite less outside their discipline than other social scientists. (Yes, I know that is true of my papers.)
