Report from the UK by Husna Risvi.
Boundless growth isn’t the only goalpost in economics that’s now being questioned. A new prize is challenging the authority of the orthodox Nobel Prize committee.
NotTheNobel – launched by the Promoting Economic Pluralism foundation – says that by repeatedly championing neoliberal economists, the Nobel committee is betraying its mantra: to recognize those bringing the greatest benefit to humankind.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
