Cultures of Economics
A three-part event series by the Federal Cultural Foundation in cooperation with the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich.
In light of the current financial crisis, it has become more urgent than ever before to change and improve the way we do business. Economic practice is also a form of cultural practice – and one of particular interest. How has the relationship between economics and culture evolved historically? How does economic practice function in other contemporary cultures? And most importantly, what kind of economic world can and should we strive for in the future? These are some of the questions which leading economists, scholars and cultural artists will discuss at the event series “Cultures of Economics” to be held on three days in May and June 2010.
The first conference “Insights – Marvellous Markets” investigated the facets of changing economic forms. The second event “Shifting Perspectives – Economics in Spite of Ourselves” illustrated the relationship between economy and culture. The third conference “New Vistas – Desire to Win!” will encourage participants to develop utopias for a new culture of economics.
