Why did economists not see the financial crisis coming? Has modern economics lost touch with reality and instead lost itself in fancy mathematic models? These are questions that have thrown the economic discipline into turmoil and (hopefully) self-reflection.
To discuss and argue his case for why Modern Economics has lost its way we will host Professor Tony Lawson of the Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge. He is head of the Cambridge Social Ontology Group with its fortnightly Cambridge Realist Group and is patron of CSEP. We are particularly delighted and honoured to have him speak. He has written several prominent books on this matter including ‘Reorienting Economics’, ‘Economics and Reality’ and released this year ‘Essays on: Nature and State of Modern Economics’. For the many of you who may have heard his lectures, you know how passionately he speaks on this matter!
