Some Supporters of Economic Pluralism
Gabriela Ramos
OECD Chief of Staff and Sherpa to the G20
“We need economists trained to use a wide range of analytical tools to better capture complex realities. This will help us develop new approaches to the economic challenges we face. Hence we are supporting this initiative to look at how economics is taught, and how to bring different perspectives and disciplines to enrich our understanding and results”

We make space for fresh thinking in economics through our digital magazine, The Mint. We have opinion, analysis, and interviews as well as humour. We feature leading innovative thinkers on understanding economies from Nobel Prize winners to people who actually work in them.
