Research limitations/implications - HPE has had considerable success in developing a conceptual apparatus, which helps to explain the emergence of much of its edifice being developed in academic and policy circles. The performance of HPE has been impressive. Practical implications - The conceptual apparatus of Heterodoxy can be applied to real world history over the past 40 years.Originality/value - This is the first time such a theme has been explored in the literature.
