Rethinking Economics - Rethinking the Role of Banks in Economics Education
Banks play a major role in our economy, yet we know that in economics courses around the world the teaching around the role of banks in the economy, and in the creation of money, often isn’t based on empirical evidence. Neither does teaching draw on a plurality of perspectives to encourage critical assessment of banks’ functions.https://www.rethinkeconomics.org/projects/rethinking-the-role-of-banks/
