Abstract :This paper reviews the somewhat disconnected studies on the introductory level economics textbooks. First, specifying the best-sellers, it is argued that there is visible standardization and concentration in the textbook market. Second, studies focusing on the rhetorical and ideological aspects of economics textbooks are reviewed. While the heterodoxy, with determination, asserts that economics is inherently political and ideological, the mainstream, understandably, tends to deny the ideological underpinnings of the economics they do. After coherently reviewing the narrow literature, the paper contributes by pointing out the gap in rhetoric-ideology nexus and suggesting an agenda for future research.
