Public lectures on some Traditional Economic Solutions to poverty in Nigeria, specifically the Igbo Apprentice System, Yoruba Ajo Thrift Savings, and Hausa Integral Communalism. Rethinking Economics The Uploaders (RETU) invites you to a webinar with influential academics from Nigeria to lecture on three traditional economic solutions to poverty: the Igbo Apprenticeship System, the Yoruba Ajo Thrift Savings, and the Hausa Communalism. The event aims to educate on how these Nigerian traditional economic systems work, propose that they be included in the college Economics curriculum, and advise on how their principles can be applied at both micro and macro levels to lift many people out of poverty.

GDP Growth: It’s Complicated
How countries achieve long-term GDP growth is up there with the most important topics in economics. As Nobel Laureate Robert Lucas put it “the consequences for human welfare involved in questions like these are simply staggering: once one starts to think about them, it is hard to think about anything else.” Ricardo Hausmann et al take a refreshing approach to this question in their Atlas of Economic Complexity. They argue a country’s growth depends on the complexity of its economy: it must have a diverse economy which produces a wide variety of products, including ones that cannot be produced much elsewhere. The Atlas goes into detail on exactly what complexity means, how it fits the data, and what this implies for development. Below I will offer a summary of their arguments, including some cool data visualisations.

Der Kapitalismus – Adam Smith und der freie Markt (1/6)
Teil 1: Adam Smith und der freie Markt Woher kommt der Kapitalismus? Ist er eine natürliche Folge der gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung? Oder resultiert er aus Theorien, die im Laufe des politischen und technologischen Wandels entstanden sind? Die Serie "Der Kapitalismus" begibt sich weltweit auf die Suche nach Antworten und schreckt nicht davor zurück, alte Idole zu stürzen und Vorurteile auszuräumen. In sechs Folgen werden Menschen aus 22 Ländern befragt, darunter Jäger aus dem Amazonas-Gebiet, die letzten Kommunisten Chinas und Börsenmakler aus New York. Wie sieht die Welt nach der Krise 2008 aus? Mehr als 20 renommierte Wirtschafts-Experten versuchen das herauszufinden und begeben sich auf den Spuren der großen Denker, die die Geschichte des Kapitalismus geprägt haben.
