Today's economies fail to recognise that we are in a rapidly
worsening crisis, reproducing and often worsening vast and harmful
inequalities between people and countries. The current models are
unsustainable, and at a time when global temperatures are rising
and divides are deepening, humanity is left in a rapidly worsening
situation of its own making, the destruction of the living world,
which will make large parts of the earth uninhabitable. Without
access to the knowledge, skills or tools to build a better future,
local, national and global economies will continue to fail to
address the interlinked challenges of systemic racism, inequalities
faced by women, the Covid-19 pandemic and the nature and climate
emergency. Across the world, economics students are coming together
under the banner of the student movement, Rethinking Economics, to
create a better economics - one which can help to create a world
where all our children can flourish regardless of their gender,
background or birthplace. Drawing on over sixty interviews with
students and professionals from identities and backgrounds
marginalised in economics and a wide range of global and historical
research, this book illustrates the ways in which the discipline is
currently not fit for purpose and sets out a vision for how it can
be diversified, decolonised and democratised. The struggle to
reclaim economics could not be more crucial - our futures depend on
it. This book explains how it can be done. This book is relevant to
United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8, Decent work and
economic growth -- .
