What explains Elon Musk’s success?

Economics textbooks say free markets create innovators.

New economy thinking argues taxpayers fund the research, science, and take the risk, while entrepreneurs commercialise and take the credit.

The world is on fire and economics is still teaching like it’s 1980. Many students are frustrated that economics education remains disconnected from the realities shaping the world today. As climate breakdown, ecological instability and inequality increasingly define economic life, economics teaching in many institutions still relies on frameworks developed decades ago, often without seriously engaging with these challenges.

Campaigning for Ecological Economics is a year-long training programme designed to support those who want to develop their campaigning skills and create change through their Rethinking Economics group. The programme supports participants to build effective campaigns that bring ecological and pluralist economics into their institutions and help build economics education fit for the 21st century.

There’s still time. Join as a member this week and book your spot through the Members Portal.

The question of what an economy built around wellbeing - not growth - looks like dominates many of us in the heterodox space.

Over 400 people have shown us what a shared solution looks like: https://t.co/wf8oFHPDaL

There's a reason democracy is in crisis and climate breakdown is escalating.

Your daily reminder that we collectively have enough - it's just in the hands of too few.

Austerity is not a necessity, it's a political choice.

For too long, austerity has been presented as a necessary response to financial downturns but that's a fallacy.

Austerity is a political decision to punish those already at the sharpest end of society.

A better, more equitable world is possible.

Ending inequality and avoiding climate breakdown are two sides of the same coin.

So often the preventing climate breakdown is pitched against a healthy economy.

Of course, addressing the climate crisis challenges an economic system based on growth.

But even without that many of the arguments used are based on disproven myths.

The course begins on 17th June!

At 1000 EDT // 1400 UTC // 1500 BST // 1600 SAST // 1930 IST ⏰

Governments have always had to adapt to meet the challenges of the world.

But today, with multiple crises facing us - how can governments adapt to respond to them?
