The main goal of this website is to provide freely accessible resources on heterodox economics and examples of how it can be applied in Uganda’s context—and by extension, sub-Saharan Africa and the global South in general. The Blog section includes summarized documentation, with videos and articles, of our collaborative work in Uganda and beyond. Moreover, the Resources section links to other heterodox resource sites such as Exploring Economics, People's Economy, and Rethinking Economics.

Comment from our editors:

The website provides an easy-to-read and structured resource site, including a summary of Open Economics Uganda's activities since its founding in 2015 at Makerere University. The Home page includes the organization's mission with affiliate local groups at Makerere University, Uganda Christian University, and Makerere University Business School established in Kampala, Uganda. In addition, this page also showcases pictures from our latest events starting from February 2025 and features some of the student-volunteers, attendees, panelists, lecturers, and other guest speakers who have contributed to our previous engagements.

The present working paper is dedicated to fill a void in the degrowth literature related to the aspect of planning to achieve post-growth models of societies. The authors propose a new framework that focuses on non-market forms of planning and propose multi-level planning institutions to mediate the local level with society-wide and global institutions.

Wirtschaftswachstum in den Ländern des Globalen Nordens zu kritisieren ist eine Sache, aber was bedeutet Wachstumskritik für die Länder des Globalen Südens? Inwiefern ist die Frage nach Wachstum und Postwachstum für den Globalen Süden und die Entwicklungszusammenarbeit relevant? Mit drei Redner*innen aus dem Globalen Süden wurden diese Fragen im Seminar „Entwicklungszusammenarbeit in einer Postwachstums-Ära“ diskutiert.

Ist eine Welt ohne Schulden ökonomisch und literarisch uninteressant? Joseph Vogl nähert sich in diesem kurzem Exkurs dem Thema Schulden aus verschiedensten Perspektiven an.
