Ecological Planning and the Problem of Knowledge in the Anthropocene 

Together with the Institute for Spatial and Socio-Ecological Transformations (ISSET) at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE) and the Chamber of Labor Vienna (AK Wien) we cordially invite you to the Public Lecture “Ecological Planning and the Problem of Knowledge in the Anthropocene “by Cédric Durand (University of Geneva) on Friday November 29^th at 6pm as the first of three public events as part of our expert workshop on “Democratic Economic Planning in Times of Planetary Crises” taking place at WU Vienna from November 29-30, 2024. Given the urgency of forming a cohesive and powerful post-capitalist vision of future ecological planning, economic coordination, directed technological change and societal design, this international workshop will bring together diverse approaches to democratic economic planning.

Abstract:
Cédric Durand discusses the evolving role of economic planning in addressing today’s social-ecological challenges. He will present his and Keucheyan’s innovative model for economic planning which reimagines past and current social devices and institutions to foster democratic control over investment and align economic planning with planetary boundaries. In this way, Durand offers a bold and fresh vision of democratic economic planning for addressing the pressing social and environmental challenges of our time.

Participation is only possible with prior registration here. You can also sign-up to join online.
