This fascinating book is both an intellectual autobiography and a self-help career guide for academic economists. It tells, in a good-humoured way, a cautionary tale about the career arc of its recently-retired author, set against the backdrop of an evolving university environment that increased the challenges faced by academic economists who deviate from the mainstream. It is a deeply reflective, tell-all account, in which the author does not hold back from analysing his own role in how he under-achieved despite earning a double-first at Cambridge, being willing to switch countries to advance his career, having an unshakable work ethic and spending four decades working in behavioral economics, an area that eventually became very popular. It explains how the author began to work in this area around the same time as the 2017 Nobel Laureate, Richard Thaler, but went down a very different, much more radical pathway as a behavioral economist, a pathway that has resulted in an approach that should appeal to many heterodox economists as well as offering wider opportunities for those who have previously known only Thaler-style behavioral economics.
Beyond Misbehaving yields many career lessons and will be especially valuable to early-career behavioral and/or heterodox economists who want to understand how, and why, the way that academic career games need to be played has changed over the past half-century. Along the way, it provides a student’s perspective on what it was like to study economics at the University of Cambridge in the 1970s, both as an undergraduate and as a research student. It explores, via the author’s experience over four decades, the challenges of teaching economics in a pluralistic way, how the author sought to deal with them, and why they have become increasingly acute. Via the author’s extensive experience in PhD administration, the book explores the challenges that research students must be able to deal with and the role that best-practice PhD management systems play in reducing risks of non-submission or having to revise and resubmit doctoral dissertations. It shares senior-level experience on what heterodox economists need to do to survive and prosper in a world of research audits that favour their mainstream rivals - including the importance of being mindful about the psychology of being a scholar and pursuing promotion. It also provides much food for thought about what can be entailed if one moves to academic positions ’Down Under’, a very long way from one’s roots.
The book opens with a foreword by John Creedy, Professorial Fellow in Economics at the University of Melbourne. Further advance praise has been given by Geoffrey Hodgson, Emeritus Professor of Management at the London campus of Loughborough University and Founding/Managing editor of the Journal of Institutional Economics. On reading the original draft, he commented as follows:
"I thoroughly enjoyed reading Beyond Misbehaving. A great title for a great memoir. It is an enticing read (at least) for economists in our generation and for dissident economists more generally. For me, the strengths of the book are in your accounts of your undergraduate and postgraduate experiences at Cambridge and in your musings on your employments at various universities. These are really informative, they put lots of important things on the record, and they carry bits of advice (including warnings), as you make clear throughout and at the end of the book. Great stuff."
Peter E. Earl is an Honorary Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Queensland, Australia.

Derecho al desistimiento
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
