Reinventing Economics: How to make it more useful?

The economic growth model that developed after the 1990s has been distorted by shocks such as the global financial crisis of 2008, the COVID-19 pandemic, rising climate change, and the war in Ukraine. Economics as a discipline may need to look for a renewal. Inspired by the International Monetary Fund’s “Finance & Development March 2024’” issue, this session will explore how to make economics more useful for tackling the big issues of our time. //INFO: This session will be translated by Wordly. If you would like to listen to the translation, please bring headphones suitable for your device.
