Rethinking Economics Lausanne

The student organization Rethinking Economics Lausanne was founded in November 2019. Thanks to the enthusiasm of the students of the University of Lausanne, our board of ten motivated volunteers came together quickly from different fields of study, including economics, business, political science, information systems and history. Being a complex and contextual subject, economics requires a variety of approaches to understand its unique mechanisms. We share the view that a pluralist vision of economics is needed to tackle the social problems of today. Besides pluralism of theories and methods, it is our concern to explore interdisciplinary approaches to economics. We run a reading group, organise lecture cycles on different schools of economic thought, and hold public events in Lausanne to share our vision.
