Prof. Yanis Varoufakis talks in this introductory lecture about the future of our economy and the current state of economics with special regard to pluralism in economics.

Mainstream economic models lack some important features of really-existing capitalism, including money, time and space. Its models offer ideological cover for a capitalist system that has usurped competitive, free markets. The result? Unbearable inequality, climate catastrophe and permanent stagnation. A fork on the road is approaching: It will take us either into deeper stagnation and environmental degradation or to a society with markets but no capitalism.

This chapter by the Centre for Economy Studies explores how courses on the history of economic thought and methods could look if they were pluralist and interdisciplinary. 2021 Level: leicht Rethinking the History of Economic Thought & Methods Sam de Muijnck and Joris Tieleman Economy Studies In this podcast, Nalia Kabeer talks about her work, criticising the way in which Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) is adopted as a sole form of impact assessment. At the beginning of the talk, she briefly describes The Ultra Poor Project (the context of her study), RCTs and its critiques (such as lack of acknowledgement of human agency, heterogeneity, and social context); also, the problem that most RCTs practitioners do not allow for qualitative research conducted in an integrated way as it might cause their studies “being contaminated.” 2019 Level: leicht Naila Kabeer on Why Randomized Controlled Trials need to include Human Agency Naila Kabeer (Interviewed by Duncan Green) Poverty to Power Neue oekonomische Bildung Level: leicht Neue ökonomische Bildung Silja Graupe, Hochschule für Gesellschaftsgestaltung Money Museum In this video, the most famed biographer of John Maynard Keynes, Robert Skidelsky, explores the foundations of Keynesian economics 2010 Level: leicht Keynesian Economics - It's All About Spending Robert Skidelsky EconStories This short video by the Khan Academy presents a classic introduction to economic teaching. Starting with the quote by Adam Smith in "The Wealth of Nations" on the invisible hand, it shows how economics deals with the question of the allocation of scarce resources and shortly presents different questions addressed by microeconomics and macroeconomics. It further makes reference to questions of simplification in mathematical models. 2012 Level: leicht Introduction to economics | Supply, demand, and market equilibrium | Microeconomics   Khan Academy
