Heterodox economists, along with many non-economists, have often leveled charges of ideological bias against mainstream economics and economists. In this paper I consider some of these charges, and discuss the degree to which I am persuaded by them. I begin with some heterodox charges of bias; then I consider some implicit charges made by the historian of science, S. A. Amadae, in a recent book (Amadae, 2003) together with some similar charges by Duncan Foley (Foley, 1975, 2003), since I believe their charges are representative of charges of ideological bias in economics sensed by a broader group of academics.
