Background
We set up this group because we felt that traditional market economics does not provide many of the answers and solutions that the world needs to solve its very urgent problems. We therefore do not want to restrict our discussion to traditional market economics but explore what is often termed “new economics”, which we think provides interesting and relevant alternatives. Since the beginning of this group all members have shared a wealth of opinions, questions and a diversity of ideas that we all benefited from and would not normally have come into contact with. We take it turns to introduce topics or follow a series of lectures. Currently we are discussing Brexit and then following a short series of lectures on trade. We do not view economics as a precise science but rather depending upon politics, sociology, anthropology, history, climatology and other social sciences.

We are currently closed to new members but if interested you can join our waiting list. Please apply to Tess Gill using the link above.
