New project starts on transformation potential of the economics

Plural economy and heterodox economics, critical and feminist economists – these approaches and networks have attracted increased attention not least since the financial crisis.

On behalf of the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy, inter 3 will pursue the issue if and to what extent such approaches and networks have transformation potential towards a more sustainable development. The survey is part of the BMBF funded project “Caring Economy. Transformations in economy and politics”.

The aim is to link the approach and the Netzwerk Vorsorgendes Wirtschaften (caring economy network) with suitable economic discourses and actors in a professional and organizational way. To do so, the transformation potential of different economic approaches and networks will be elaborated in two economic salons, and potential future cooperation and agenda setting activities will be discussed.
