Past and future of pluralism in economics
professor jakob kapeller
An event that truly sums up what CSEP is about!
Jakob Kapeller will be discussing the merits of economic pluralism. This will be a great introduction for anyone, economist or otherwise, who wants to learn more about a critical issue of economics in its current state, and why we need to introduce a pluralistic approach.
Kapeller is a lecturer at the Institute of Socio-Economics at University Duisburg-Essen and has written widely on heterodox issues. He is a champion of pluralism, and we are delighted that we'll be welcoming him this term.
