Economists are not providing us with solutions to the enormous social and economic challenges of
the 21st century. Members of YSI seek to transform the discourse of economics.

NEW ECONOMIC THINKING

Our objective is to encourage and support new, innovative and critical thinking among young scholars.

We recognize that:

  • Economics is not settled, it is more open-ended, with room for debate;

  • Economics is a topic, not a technique; it is a social science, not a branch of applied math; ideas come from all sorts of approaches;

  • There is no trade-off between depth and breadth; exploring new ideas produces better ideas.

“YSI introduced me to an international community of like-minded students and motivated me to look for alternative, richer visions of the economic system”

Olga Mikheeva, YSI Member

“As a graduate student, I felt isolated because there was very little interest for my thesis topic at my university. Via YSI, I tapped into a vast community of scholars who were working on topics similar to mine.”
