The student initiative Rethinking Economics Tübingen presents the final 
lecture to its series ‘Introduction to Plural Economics. It will be 
delivered tonight – Monday 3rd February 2020 by Professor Yanis 
Varoufakis on the theme From an Economics-without-Capitalism to 
Markets-without-Capitalism.

Mainstream economic models lack some important features of 
really-existing capitalism, including money, time and space. Its models 
offer ideological cover for a capitalist system that has usurped 
competitive, free markets. The result? Unbearable inequality, climate 
catastrophe and permanent stagnation. A fork on the road is approaching: 
It will take us either into deeper stagnation and environmental 
degradation or to a society with markets but no capitalism. Prof. Yanis 
Varoufakis will talk about the future of our economy and the current 
state of economics with special regard to pluralism in economics.

Those in Tübingen and surrounding areas are invited to come to the 
University of Tübingen, Kupferbau (Hölderlinstr. 5). Alternatively you 
are invited to follow the livestream at  starting at 18:15 CET. Just
