HOW TO GET PEOPLE TALKING AT YOUR UNIVERSITY

So you want to make some noise on your campus, but you’re not sure how rambunctious to be. Start with baby steps, and see where it takes you.


1. Join your Campus JammerGroup

2. Download the Truecost Economics Manifesto and post it all over the Economics department. Then make photocopies and distribute them throughout your university.

3. Ask your professors what they think about ecological economics, true cost markets, post-autistic economics and the deficiencies of neoclassical economics. Be ready with rebuttals in case their answers are unsatisfactory.

4. Get a group together to hold regular discussions about the problems with contemporary economics. Once you’re ready to take it to the next level, chart a course of action.
5. If your school doesn’t offer classes in Ecological Economics, initiate a campaign to demand such a course be introduced.
Contact the International Society for Ecological Economics to bring a guest lecturer to campus.

6. Unfurl a banner in class or on the Economics Department building. Examples of slogans you may want to use include:


Whatever you do, be sure to take pictures and send them to us at

We’ll post them on this site so other students can be inspired by your actions.
