Today’s economic system is failing us. It is the cause of climate change, resource destruction and rising inequality. The idea that the free market works for everyone is a fantasy.
It is time to Reclaim Economics!
The Club of Rome wants to inspire and support students, activists, intellectuals, artists, video-makers, teachers, professors and many others to help us shift the teaching of economics away from the mathematical pseudo-science it has become. The well-being of people and the sustainability of the planet need to lie at the core of all economic thinking.
We want to
- boost public pressure for change
- mobilise students to demand a balanced economics education
The project will kick off on 9-11 September 2016 at the castle Burg Feistritz, 90 km from Vienna, Austria.
Want to be part of the team?
Are you
- Dissatisfied with the way economics is taught today?
- Eager to challenge the current system?
- Environmentally and socially aware?
- Ambitious?
- Determined?
- Ready to commit time to the cause?
As part of our campaign team you will have the opportunity to play a central role in changing the way economics is taught and understood. You will also have regular contact with Club of Rome members and other internationally renowned experts.
