In 2018, Rethinkers Joris Tieleman, Sam de Muijnck, Maarten Kavelaar and Francis Ostermeijer conducted a quantitative research on economics programmes in the Netherlands. The concluding report was ‘Thinking like an economist?’ (https://www.rethinkingeconomics.nl/publications).

In 2021, RE:NL invited all the deans of economics faculties in the Netherlands for a conversation. The goal of the conversation is to get a better understanding of the status of economics education now. The deans talk about the strengths of their university and programme, their goals related to their economics programmes, and they reflect on their programme in relation to RE:NL values.

Now in 2022, we are publishing the fourth interview with prof. dr. Roel Beetsma from University of Amsterdam. The interview was conducted by Katharina Buchsbauum and Tim Mulder with support of Eva van Soerland.

Hey there fellow Rethinker, welcome back to the Rethinking Podcast!

In this episode we talk with Gerrit von Jorck. Gerrit is a researcher in ecological economics. He has researched time wealth and knows how to combine both practical and theoretical knowledge together in a transdisciplinary team. Yes, that is even different from a multidisciplinary team. Are you curious already? Well, I won’t let you wait much longer. You’ll also hear me make an argument, which then gets flipped on its head. Which shows that yes, I am always learning too. Enjoy this episode! We’re happy to have you rethink with us.

Christy Chapin is a historian that dove deep into the US health insurance system and found plot twists you won’t see coming. Where did the present health insurance system in the US come from? Probably not where you think. According to Christy’s research, the free market did not set it up. Christy takes you through the history of the health insurance system in the US, from prepaid physician groups to the AMA and the present-day insurance company model. She explains how incentives affect the healthcare provided and how they rack up costs. Welcome to the world of hidden factors that changed the course of US health insurance. Enjoy the episode!

Hey there fellow Rethinker, welcome back to the Rethinking Podcast! In this episode, we talk with Jorim Gerrard.

Jorim is a senior editor at Exploring Economics and also worked as the managing editor and community manager of Exploring Economics from 2017 - 2021. While joining Exploring Economics, he studied EPOG, the master of Economic Policies in the Age of Globalisation. Jorim explains the e-learning platform that Exploring Economics is, how it works and how it can help you. We talk about pluralism, his journey through pluralism and how it can change your perspective. Are you excited to explore economics? Well all the perspectives are waiting for you on the platform, but let’s hear the story behind it all first. We’re happy to have you rethink with us.

Exploring Economics (https://www.exploring-economics.org/en/) is an open-access e-learning platform that intends to shift the teaching of economics away from its prevailing mono-disciplinary and one-sided state towards an open, interdisciplinary and pluralist approach. Exploring Economics responds to the international appeal of students and scholars for a fundamental change in economics that has been re­inforced by the financial crisis in 2007/2008 and the acceleration of climate change in the early phase of the 21st century. By presenting and spreading alternative ideas about the economy, we seek to change the economic thinking of today’s youth and transform the economy of tomorrow into a more environmentally and socially sustainable system.
