The first keynote speech was given by Sebastian Dullien, current spokesperson of FMM and who is one of the most well-known German economists in applied European economics and a very active contributor to the pluralist debate. Sebastian discusses the strategy of “running with the pack” by using orthodox methods to disseminate pluralist economics and politics. Referring to diverse examples Sebastian addresses the pros and cons of “running with the pack” and proposes alternative approaches to achieve more pluralism in economics.

This is a new online course at bachelor level. It presents an introduction into macroeconomics with a specific focus on the euro area. The theoretical part provides a critical presentation of the two key macroeconomic models: the (neo)classical approach and the Keynesian approach. This allows a comparative analysis of important macroeconomic topics: unemployment inflation government debt and Modern Monetary Theory banks and financial crises. The policy-oriented part discusses the monetary policy of the ECB and the specific challenges for fiscal policy in the euro area. The course also presents other euro area specific topics: Optimum currency area, euro crises, Next Generation EU and Green New Deal.

James Glattfelder publizierte eines der aufsehenerregenden Paper der letzten Jahre. Mit Hilfe der Methoden der Komplexitätsökonomik - namentlich der Netzwerkanalyse - legt er Machtstrukturen von Großkonzernen und Abhängigkeiten in der Finanzbranche offen. In diesem dreistündigen Workshop erklärt er das theoretische Fundament der Komplexitätstheorie, zeigt die Grenzen der klassischen Ökonomik auf und stellt eines seiner Paper vor.
