Wellbeing Economy und Service Public Revolution: Wie meistern wir die aktuellen Krisen?

Plurale Ökonomik Zürich

21 January 2023 13:00

Hotel Bern, Zeughausstrasse 9, Bern

As part of the sponsorship, we are pleased to announce the following panel discussion:

Wellbeing Economy and Service Public Revolution: How do we master the current crises?

Climate, Corona, wars: one crisis follows the next, while we find ourselves in an ominous maelstrom of profit and competition. How can we overcome all this? How do we orient the economy towards the common good and ecological requirements? What is the role of a consistent redistribution of wealth and a revolutionary renewal of the public service?

How do the two concepts differ and complement each other? What impulses do they generate? A short introduction will be followed by a discussion with the panelists.

From a pluralist perspective, it is interesting to see to what extent these two concepts, which have a different starting point, stimulate and enrich each other.

We look forward to seeing you all there and that our experiences, questions and critique can lead to a fruitful discussion with the panelists.

Podium participants

Katherine Trebeck, is co-founder of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance, which brings together 350 NGOs worldwide. The Alliance wants a society built on the meaningful, common good participation of all.

Vous avez dit Communisme?

Rethinking Economics Lausanne

28 June 2022 18:30

Anthropole 1031, UNIL

FRÉDÉRIC LORDON
Philosophe et économiste français reconnu, Frédéric Lordon a publié en 2021 un livre dans lequel il démontre l’impérieuse nécessité d’une part de sortir du capitalisme, mais aussi et sur- tout d’imaginer un nouveau système économique, écologique et socialement soutenable.
Pour figurer une alternative souhaitable, il s’appuie sur les propositions formulées par le sociologue Bernard Friot sous la forme du « salaire à vie» et de caisses économiques, un projet qui révolutionne autant la manière de rémunérer les travailleur.euses que les droits de propriété dans l’économie.
Il y ajoute aussi des réflexions stimulantes sur la transition vers ce qu’il n’hésite pas à nommer le «communisme ».
Cette conférence nous donnera l’occasion de l’entendre développer sur ces différentes perspectives d’avenir.
On vous attend nombreu.x.ses !
