This week, our friends at the Auckland University Economics Group have a special invitation out to philosophers…
Hi all,
This Thursday we continue our discussion of what philosophy has to teach economics, and vice versa.
Last week we looked at what economics takes from the “philosophic tree”—and what it allows economics to do.
This week we complete the overview by talking about the important lesson that economics gives back to the “tree”: a conclusion, taught and confirmed by economic thinking, that social philosophers would do well to understand.
This is truly the most important lesson economics can teach—important in a far wider sense than even most economists care to know.
Come along and discuss why economics need not be the dismal science, but the demonstration instead of something altogether more miraculous!Date: Thursday, April 11
Time: 6-7pm
Location: Room 215, Level Two, Owen G. Glenn Business School, 22 Grafton Rd, AucklandLook forward to seeing you there!

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
