Pandemic, climate collapse, racial injustice and inequality have brought the world to a crossroad. Governments have turned to economists for answers to these threats, but has our economics education done enough to prepare them for this vital role?
Rethinking Economics is an international network of students and recent graduates building a better economics for the classroom, with the support of academic allies. Through a mixture of campaigning, events and engaging projects, Rethinking Economics connects people globally to enact the change needed for the future.

Rethinking Economics International
Rethinking Economics International, is the student-led non-profit organisation that works to support the global network to change economics education.
Founded in 2011 in the UK, we work to empower and grow individual student organisers, local groups and national networks around the world to reform our economics curricula; diversify and decolonise the discipline and build a community of future-focussed economists.
Rethinking Economics International is made up of a dedicated staff team, board of specialised trustees and a democratically-elected Members’ Council.
