To mark the 33 theses, the Hungarian Economic Association is organising an international conference on reformation in economics and economics education to be held on <strong>Thursday, 22 March 2018 from 10 am at ELTE University Congress Centre<\/strong> (1117 Budapest, P\u00e1zm\u00e1ny P\u00e9ter s\u00e9t\u00e1ny 1\/A-1\/C, G\u00f6mb Aula), jointly with Budapest Institute of Banking Zrt, MNB Department of Corvinus University of Budapest, E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University Institute of Business Economics, and the Czech, Slovakian and Polish economic associations.<\/p>\n<p>According to representatives of New Weather Institute and Rethinking Economics, an international network of students who launched the initiative, the world faces poverty, inequality, ecological crisis and financial instability, and they believe that economics should do more to help solve these problems (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rethinkeconomics.org\/projects\/reformation\/\">www.rethinkeconomics.org\/projects\/reformation\/<\/a>). They\u2019re think that economics fail to adequately help policymakers address these challenges for three reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, within economics an unhealthy intellectual monopoly has developed. The neoclassical perspective overwhelmingly dominates teaching, research, advice to policy and public debate. Many other perspectives that could provide valuable insights are marginalised and excluded. According to the authors of the theses it is not about one theory being better than another, but there is simply a need for debate. Within economics, however, debate is non-existent.<\/li>\n<li>Second, while neoclassical economics made a contribution historically and is still useful, there is ample opportunity for improvement, for example through relationship with other disciplines.<\/li>\n<li>Third, mainstream economics appears to have become incapable of self-correction, developing more as a faith than as science. Too often, when theories and evidence have come into conflict, it is the theories that have been upheld and the evidence that has been discarded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The authors of the proclamation published 33 theses, calling for a debate among the world\u2019s economists. They mean to refer to orthodox economics as a kind of religious faith in the society, while the \u2018omniscient\u2019 preachers of the discipline, mystified by complex mathematics, do not go out into the world, but make universal decisions based on concealed judgements. As a result, reform-seeking economists nailed their theses to the doors of the London School of Economics in December last year.<\/p>\n<p><a
