Open Economic Lectures
On 5.11.2024 an Open Economic Lecture "Social welfare, or whose?" will be led by Dr Małgorzata Zielenkiewicz from the Department of Microeconomics at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Gdańsk
Prosperity is often a buzzword in the media - politicians promise to deliver it, citizens want it. But what is prosperity? Can economic growth alone deliver it? Do two countries with the same average GDP per capita have the same level of prosperity, even if in one part, the majority of people have all their physical needs well met, the other part of the population is starving in the streets, and another part is living in luxury? In this lecture, we will touch on defining and measuring social well-being, different equity views, and inequality and social exclusion.
The 9th edition of Open Economic Lectures is taking place in the academic year 2024/2025.
Lectures in the online format in MS Teams are scheduled on selected Tuesdays from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Open Economic Lectures cover various aspects of economics, finance, and entrepreneurship!
