The Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) is dedicated to the rigorous pursuit of innovative economic theories and methods that address society’s most pressing concerns. We advance sound economic ideas to better serve humanity. 

Founded in 2009, we are a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization supporting relevant, pioneering work in issue areas including: the relationship between finance and the broader economy, inequality and distribution, the economics of innovation, and environment and resource sustainability

We are building a global community with thousands of new economic thinkers through our grantees and research networks, partnerships with leading universities and institutions, high-profile events, and growing student movements. Interactive education tools are provided at no charge to audiences worldwide.

Our work is grounded in history and is multidisciplinary by nature. We accept that complexity and uncertainty are inherent in economic and financial systems, and we question theories based upon the flawed assumption that humans always behave rationally and predictably.

Traditional economics is failing us. Our goal is to offer hopeful solutions to the key challenges of the 21st century.
