The Event

DiEM25 co-founder Yanis Varoufakis will give a public lecture at University Tübingen. Open to everyone; no tickets, no registration.

The student initiative Rethinking Economics Tübingen presents the final lecture "From an Economics-without-Capitalism to Markets-without-Capitalism" with Prof. Yanis Varoufakis as part of the lecture series "Introduction to Plural Economics".

Mainstream economic models lack some important features of really-existing capitalism, including money, time and space. Its models offer ideological cover for a capitalist system that has usurped competitive, free markets. The result? Unbearable inequality, climate catastrophe and permanent stagnation. A fork on the road is approaching: It will take us either into deeper stagnation and envirnomental degradation or to a society with markets but no capitalism. Prof. Yanis Varoufakis will talk about the future of our economy and the current state of economics with special regard to pluralism in economics.

The lecture will take place in the lecture hall 25 in the Kupferbau (Hölderlinstraße 5). We will provide video transmission in the lecture halls 23 and 24 of the same building.
