Zusammenfassung:This talk with illustrated micro and macro models of neoclassical economics including famous agents such as Robinson Crusoe, Mother Nature and also Little Red Riding Hood aims at deconstructing mainstream economic theory, connecting feminist critiques and creating new ideas for economic policy making in the current states of multiple global crises. Karin Schönpflug works as an economist at Vienna’s Institute for Higher Studies and at Vienna’s University of Applied Sciences. She has been teaching economics, gender and transdisciplinary studies at Universities in Austria, the US and New Zealand. Her research focusses on the socio-economic inclusion and exclusion of queer and marginalized people, and the social costs of violence and discrimination for women, children and the LGBTIQ+ community. She has been connecting feminist economics with utopian approaches and recently she has been working on the gendered, raced and classed effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as connected to coloniality and ecological crises. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
