A group of economists and other academics have started a new movement called Econ4. It’s mission is to re-humanize economics away from what people can do for the market and back to what can the market do for people.
There mission statement is nothing short of a total transformation of our economy and the way we think about economics.
We need an economics for open minds that breaks free of the closed-minded economic dogmas of the past. We need an economics that aims to secure long-run human well-being, not an economics preoccupied with maximizing short-run output and profits. We need an economics that recognizes that we need to safeguard the Earth for our children and generations to come. We need an economics for people, the planet, and the future.
