Students get an overview over the biggest challenges to the economic system in our current societal structure. They gain knowledge about inevitable, necessary and desirable changes and reforms to meet challenges and future-proof the economic system.

The lecture series aims to provide a broad spectrum of topics from different lecturers' professional perspectives to represent interconnectedness and complexity of multiple current crises. Among these topics are socio-ecological transformation, the labor market, technological progess, income and wealth inequality, global inequality and industrial politics.
