Time to Rethink Modern Economics
Can Modern Economics and Humanity Become Friends?

Modern Economics has undermined Civility, Trust, Community and Humanity
With surveys after surveys, studies after studies, noting that economists by and large are among the least trusted and valued professionals ever anywhere in the world, is this not the time for a good dose of humility, repentance, seeking forgiveness from those that the mainstream economists have left behind and caused them so much pain, namely, the 99%?
Economics, Values, Virtues and Humanity? Below see what economists think that might be!! Lord Kalms’ letter to the Times (08/03/2011) says it all:
‘Sir, Around 1991 I offered the London School of Economics a grant of £1 million to set up a Chair in Business Ethics. John Ashworth, at that time the Director of the LSE, encouraged the idea but had to write to me to say, regretfully, that the faculty had rejected the offer as it saw no correlation between ethics and economics. Quite.’- Lord Kalms, House of Lords, London
