Age of economics is addressing fundamental issues related to global capitalist civilisation with 8 basic questions to a diverse group of economic and non-economic thinkers. The objectives of this project are to shed light on the most salient challenges facing human civilization, explore the role of economics and the inner workings of capitalism, and heighten people’s awareness of both the economic system in which they live and work, and the role of economics in understanding this ever-changing system.
