Emerging themes emphasize the role of cultural values and ethical considerations in economic practices, reflecting a growing awareness of the societal implications of economic theories. - Philosophical Interrogations of Economic Concepts:
There is an increasing focus on philosophically interrogating core economic concepts, such as utility and value, which allows for deeper insights into their implications and applications. - Feminist Economic Perspectives:

Declining or Waning
- Mainstream Economic Critiques:
Discussions centered on critiques of mainstream economics, such as the examination of neoclassical assumptions, have seen a decline, possibly due to a shift towards more constructive, alternative frameworks. - Traditional Economic Models:
There appears to be a waning interest in traditional economic models that do not incorporate philosophical or ethical considerations, as the journal increasingly prioritizes discussions that integrate these elements. - Historical Economic Analysis:
