In a manifesto published in April, economics students at the University of Manchester advocated an approach “that begins with economic phenomena and then gives students a toolkit to evaluate how well different perspectives can explain it,” rather than with mathematical models based on unreal assumptions. Significantly, Andrew Haldane, Executive Director for Financial Stability at the Bank of England, wrote the introduction.
在4月发布的一份声明中，曼彻斯特大学经济学学生提出了“从经济现象开始，然后向学生传授如何评估不同的解释角度的工具”，而不要讲那些基于不现实假设的数学模型的观点。重要的是，声明的引言部分是由英格兰银行金融稳定执行委员安德鲁·哈尔丹（Andrew Haldane）撰写的。
