Carolina Alves Rethinking Economics England & Wales CORE Econ Economics Observatory Discover Economics Developing Economics Diversifying and Decolonising Economics (D-Econ) Rebuilding Macroeconomics Mariana Mazzucato Diane Coyle Kate Raworth Damien Smith Exactly. Economics detached itself from reality. Today's students are no longer buying it. And for good reason. The antidote is systems thinking, which helps explain the 'sort of thinking' that the practice has been and why it has been so influential despite all its flaws.

This looks really interesting & we'd love to be there. Is it being recorded Rethinking Economics England & Wales? Will be interested to see whether the chat feeds into A-Level and GCSE. Alternative ideas from people like Daly & Ostrom should be looked at but with limited time, what do you give up?

Carolina Alves Rebuilding Macroeconomics Rethinking Economics England & Wales CORE Econ Economics Observatory Discover Economics Developing Economics Diversifying and Decolonising Economics (D-Econ) Mariana Mazzucato Kate Raworth Damien Smith There’s also a frequent claim by orthodox economists that it’s incorrect to say they’re not empirical, theyve updated everything since the GFC….but they haven’t. Numerous non-empirical claims remain & zero appetite to amend using empirical data esp if from outside Econ dept.
