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.
