We envision economic thinking that is free of intellectual barriers, resonates with reality, and serves our global society.
Read more about our approach
we aim to
- Open up new ways to approach economic issues
- Understand the foundations of economics
- Bridge silos and break silences
- Address the challenges of our global society
we recognize that
- Economics is not settled. It is more open-ended, with room for debate;
- Economics is a topic, not a technique. It is a social science, not a branch of applied math.
- There is no trade-off between depth and breadth. Exploring new ideas produces better ideas.
