Economics need to change - now more than ever! With Exploring Economics, we strengthen alternative economic approaches and counter mainstream economics with a critical and pluralistic vision of economic education. We also provide background analyses on current economic debates to strengthen a critical economic discourse.
Unfortunately, we are running out of money to continue our work.
With a small contribution you can help Exploring Economics to stay online. Thank you!

What is Human Rights Economics?
www.humanrightseconomics.ch, 2022
Human Rights Economics strives for an economic system that is just for people and respectful of the planet, that promotes social and economic justice, that integrates a plurality of views and traditions and that is human rights-consistent in both its processes and outcomes. It posits that economics is blind with respect to the experiences of groups and individuals who are not represented at the policy-making table, and seeks to expose and prevent exploitation, dominance and abuses of power – including those that stem from national and international economic structures.
