The Economy for the Common Good
With Christian Felber and Tomas Sedlacek
Does the current economic system serve the Common Good? Should it? And does it even make sense to assess our economy from an ethical point of view?
The Cambridge Society for Economic Pluralism is proud to host the two intenationally renowed speakers Tomáš Sedláček and Christian Felber for a discussion OPEN TO STUDENTS OF ALL SUBJECTS on these questions. Particularly, the "Economy of the Common Good" (https://www.ecogood.org/en), a rapidly growing international movement that hopes to align economic activity with ethical values, will be discussed.
Tomas Sedlacek is a Czech economist and author. His book "Economics of Good and Evil" has been translated into several languages, and has been published in the UK by Oxford University Press. He has been a member of the National Economic Council of the Czech Republic, works as Chief Macroeconomic Strategist for one of the Czech Republic's largest banks, and has been described as "one of the hottest minds in economics" by the Yale Economic Review. He will talk about the failings he sees in the current economic system.
Christian Felber is an internationally renowned speaker and author of several award winning bestsellers. He has been featured in Rolling Stone, the Financial Times, El Pais and Der Spiegel. He initiated the ‘Economy for the Common Good’ movement, as well as the Bank for the Common Good, Austria’s first ethical finance institute. He will present the Economy for the Common Good as an alternative economic system.
