Our purpose is to build a diverse movement of people who challenge and renew the practice, teaching and application of economics in order to create economic systems which serve people and planet. We do this firstly, by supporting students to campaign for reform of their antiquated university economics education and create curricula that are fit for purpose. Secondly, by working to diversify the people who study economics in order to create a cohort of future economists who better represent the society they are serving. And lastly, we work to create an international community of 'rethinkers' to ensure that our members and allies are not working in isolation.

Economics is failing to answer to the pressing social, environmental and political challenges we face today. Rethinking Economics' (RE) first aim is to equip economists with tools to build fair and stable economies by campaigning to reform education and economics more broadly. RE's second aim is to make economic discussion and decision making inclusive through public education in economics; we work with journalists, policymakers and politicians to make economics accessible and campaign for reforms to economic institutions. In the next two years we plan to expand our work in these areas through campaigning for curriculum reform and understandable economics, alongside continuing to develop our internal organisational systems and processes.

The education of economists reproduces harmful forms of financial thinking and practice. By professionalising our existing campaign to reform university syllabuses, our work will create economists with the tools and imagination.
