Lecture by Martin Hellwig, Director em., Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods and University of Bonn on the topic

"Science or neoliberal sectarianism? What is the Contribution of Economics?"

The lecture deals with the contribution of economics to our understanding of economic relationships. Using examples from my own experience, I will illustrate fundamental ideas and methods that are also relevant to the use of economics in policy advice. Of particular interest is the question of how to classify an amorphous mass of material into a variety of theoretical approaches in a specific case.

When: November 5, 2025, 6:00 p.m.

Where: Heilig-Geist-Kapelle (ground floor), Faculty Building of the School of Business and Economics, Spandauer Str. 1, 10178 Berlin
