[more] Many heterodox economists advocate the adoption of pluralist teaching strategies in universities, citing the benefits of developing the capacity of students to engage in critical thinking. However, with the dominance of orthodox macroeconomic thinking and increasing career pressures associated with the need to publish in leading mainstream journals, many teachers have become reliant on a limited number of orthodox macroeconomics textbooks. This paper explores how a small sample of leading introductory macroeconomics textbooks have responded to the challenges to orthodox macroeconomic thinking in the last decade or so since the Global Financial Crisis. We focus on the definitions of concepts and the consistency of the theoretical and policy frameworks, in the light of the insights about what we define as Institutional Practice. This concept refers to the way that the Central Bank, Treasury and commercial banks actually operate in modern monetary economies, as described by employees of international agencies such as the IMF and the European and national Central Banks. We also draw implications of our work for the teaching of undergraduate macroeconomics.

This is reflected in the growing dependence on a casualized academic workforce. The article explores the extent to which the McDonaldization thesis applies to universities by comparing the experiences of casual academics with those of McDonald's employees. Survey and interview findings from an Australian university are compared with Gould's research on McDonald's casual employees in Australia. Aside from their employment status, the two groups have nothing in common. McDonald's employees experience routine work organization with good management and career prospects while casual academics experience stimulating work within a context of poor management and lack of career paths. This article questions the accuracy of applying the McDonaldization thesis to higher education based on the failure of the McJobs descriptor to withstand empirical scrutiny.
