Abstract
Has the financial crisis already changed US principles of economics textbooks? Rather little has changed in individual textbooks, but taken as a whole ten of the best-selling textbooks suggest rather encompassing changes of core curriculum. A critical analysis of these changes shows how individual textbooks could become even better at grasping the financial crisis than the textbooks are now as a collective. This would require a development of curriculum incorporating theoretical and historical dimensions of the financial crisis and a more pluralistic attitude by integrating conflicting interpretations of the financial crisis and its causes, remedies, and possible consequences.
