.....That is the position of Dr. Howard Nicholas, the speaker of this Real World Economics session. He is one of the most renowned authorities on Marxist economics at the Institute of Social Studies, The Hague (ISS), a recipient of the Best Lecturer Award for nine consecutive years, and known for his ability to explain complex economic phenomena in simple terms.

In 2008, at the very first Real World Economics session, he predicted that the coming crisis ‘would scare the hell out of us’. Five years later, he argues there are still many blindspots in mainstream analyses of the crisis. Why are business cycles important to understand? How is geopolitical power shifting from the West towards developing countries? What’s the hidden goal behind Europe’s suicidal austerity policy? And why do we need to eliminate debts before we can have another upswing in the world economy?

Howard Nicholas will cover these issues in his talk and engage in an open discussion with the audience afterwards.

*Admission*:
students free, € 5,- all others
