Various students from 19 different countries are joining forces to change the way Economy courses are structured. They’re arguing that many of the courses only focus on narrow free-market theories, meaning students may come away lacking the ability to confront challenges that may await them in their careers.

Financial stability is always on the top of every governments’ agenda and if the current crop of students are finding it difficult to face the everyday challenges they’re supposed to have trained for, then a reshape may be a good way to go about it. The International Student Initiative for Pluralist Economics (ISIPE) agrees entirely, and they say that these courses are failing wider society when they ignore important evidence and information from various other industries.

Only time will tell whether this stand picks up some speed and really has an effect on the overall structure of these courses, but economy has and will always be a tremendously important part of society, and more diversity and ideas from other industries could be extremely beneficial.
