1 Venue: Royal Tropical Institute Mauritskade AD Amsterdam Conference December hours WHAT KIND OF ECONOMIST DO WE NEED IN THE NEXT DECADE? Does Economics Education need a Revolution or a Renovation? INVITATION Motivation Whether in secondary school, university or any other part of economics education, we do not see important changes in society and science sufficiently reflected in the curricula. Change As a consequence our students do not learn proper economics, and are ill equipped to deal with important changes in society. This needs to change. But how? And how drastic? Just renovation, a total make over or something in between? ORGANIZERS ONE, Martijn van der Linden, Rethinking Economics NL, Sam de Muijnck and SIEO, Marcel Canoy
