<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">The demand for more pluralism in economics stems from the belief that the contemporary economic discourse is unable to provide suitable answers for and solutions to the various, multi-dimensional problems we are facing
today, the beginning of the 21st century. Where individual economic theories fail, pluralism in economics can capture and depict the complexity of economic phenomena and their embeddedness into social, political and historical systems. Communication between
different schools of economic thought and perspectives, can help to shed light on unsolved real world (economic) issues and will avoid bias and intellectual stagnation. For this purpose, neglected but critical economic perspectives need to be given a platform.
With this in mind, the Vienna Society for Pluralistic Economics is pleased to announce it will be hosting the 1st Vienna Conference on Pluralism in Economics:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
