SPEAKER AND TOPIC:  Alejandro Nadal, El Colegio de Mexico: "From Micro to Macroeconomics for Sustainability: The Delusion of Micro-foundations" THE PAPER: Macro-economic theory, and policy-making, are dominated by the view that markets are well-behaved and converge to equilibrium. This view rests on assumptions that economic behaviour is based on utility maximisation and rational expectations. However, this dominant approach struggles to epxlain common phenomena, like involuntary unemployment. In this presentation, Professor Alejandro Nadal of El Colegio de Mexico assesses the validity of this approach, by taking a hard look at its micro-foundations -- and considers alternative frameworks. DETAILS: This is a recording of a live event in the Neil Aggett Labour Studies Unit (NALSU) Labour Studies Seminar Series, held on Wednesday, 19 September 2018, at Eden Grove, Seminar Room 2, Rhodes University, Makhanda, South Africa. HOSTS : The series is run by the Neil Aggett Labour Studies Unit (NALSU) in partnership with the Departments of Sociology & Industrial Sociology, and Economics & Economic History, Rhodes University. ABOUT NALSU , based in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, is engaged in policy, research and workers' education. Built around a vibrant team from disciplines including Sociology and Economics & Economic History, it has active partnerships and relations with a range of advocacy, labour and research organisations. It draws strength from its location in a province where the legacy of apartheid and the cheap labour system, and the contradictions of the post-apartheid state, are keenly felt. We are named in honour of Dr Neil Hudson Aggett, a union organiser and medical doctor who died in 1982 in an apartheid jail after enduring brutality and torture. MORE: www.ru.ac.za/nalsu
