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.

Those in Tübingen and surrounding areas are invited to come to the university of Tübingen, Kupferbau (Hölderlinstr. 5). Come early if you want to be in the main lecture hall (600 seats). Otherwise we can watch the video broadcast together in the adjacent halls 23 and 24 of the same building, which is still nicer than watching it by yourself at home. 

Everyone unable to come to Tübingen, especially those abroad, are invited to follow the livestream at http://timmscast.uni-tuebingen.de/home/Player01?oid=UT_20200203_001_rethink_0001&tm=637161023910951071, starting at 18:15 CET on February 3rd.
