Overview


AEMS is a new academic Summer School that approaches the topic of economic alternatives by considering natural boundaries and the human factor to be equal parts of the equation.

Details

Description:


Our goal is quite ambitious: To help solve some of societies’ problems by presenting viable alternatives to processes and developments that are putting enormous strains on economic, ecologic and social boundaries. In addition to various new and classical concepts from the field of economic sciences, students are also provided with up-to-date scientific data from natural and social sciences. This enables them to have a level-headed discussion of economic and monetary reform while asking: What is our leeway?

The lectures, workshops and discussion panels cover a variety of topics, from the reform or re-definition of money, an overhaul of the aim of economic activity towards solidarity and cooperation, tax reform, a reform of financial markets, all the way to a change in consumer culture and the reduction of resource consumption.

The economy of the future 

Summer School in Vienna, July 27 - August 14, 2016
