The Economy and Economics after Crisis

The necessity to change the concepts of teaching economics and business at universities is spreading fast. Years of global economic crisis have strengthened that wish. Therefore, it is understandable why previously mentioned developments were also in the middle of the attention for COPE (http://www.copeintl.org/), the union of economists with the mission to encourage worldwide discussion about the theory, principles, and problems of economics, with special emphasis on political economy. Also the title of the annual publication of 2010 refl ects this. This publication covers the problems of world economy and economics after crisis from four different angles. It begins with discussions of globally important topics, followed by introducing the regional and sectoral dimensions into discussion, and ends with the analysis of micro level and entrepreneurship issues.
