DESCRIPTION:Economists have long offered advice as if for a clockwork univ
 erse\, and for long enough this analytical tradition has made economics hi
 ghly influential in public policy. Now\, though\, their expertise is disda
 ined\, economic 'facts' become matters of opinion\, and belief in the idea
  of economic progress appears to be fading. Ideas have a dangerous habit o
 f bringing about their own reality\; so rethinking how to define and measu
 re prosperity\, and reflecting on the role of economics in public policy\,
  have become pressing challenges.\n\nTo attend please register via Eventbr
