Here's an interesting thought... maybe I'll have them vote on whether they want me to lecture on Austrian economics or Post-Keynesian economics in that class before Thanksgiving week...
The former will help them more in popular discussion, the latter will give them deeper roots in the department, both are an important story in the history of thought, and I'd honestly enjoy teaching either.
The problem with your idea is that Post-Keynesian school is practically unknown amongst general public while the Austrian one has a lot of hype and publicity, so the choice is likely to be biased in favor of Austrians...
