  • Adnan highlights the unique status of economics as the only social science with a Nobel Prize, giving it significant authority but also the responsibility to avoid societal harm when theories fall short. The talk criticizes mainstream economics for its obsession with quantification, especially prices, which undermines the intrinsic value of non-quantifiable aspects like love, compassion, freedom, dignity, and nature. This focus leads to absurdities and distorts these invaluable aspects. Aside from several episodes abroad, Adnan's life has been mostly tied to his native Sarajevo - an endless source of inspiration, wonder and frustration.
    He holds a BA and PhD in economics from the University in Sarajevo and a MSc in Psychology of Economic Life from the LSE. He has been teaching macroeconomics for a decade and has worked as an economic adviser for local governments and numerous international institutions.
    Struggling to accept things as they are, social change has been his primary preoccupation for years. Never an expert and forever a generalist of a hopelessly curious nature, Adnan always preferred to see the forest rather than the trees. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Thanks God someone saw it the same way I saw it.. 🥺💦 I mean this is the same thing I told my friends today. Like we were busy discussing about the nature that we lose as people and the benefits that we think we can get from that beautiful environment which is also leading us to clobal-warming . We start experiencing extreme temperatures here in SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦

    You can simply focus on the prosperity of creation, sharing and distribution, and sustainability instead of greed and not care anymore

    Some things have unreasonable prices, but have very little true value.
    Like most cell phones are over priced by 350% yet have a shelf life of 3 years due to new models. 🤔🧐
    The price game goes back to the 50’s and the “keeping up with the Jones’”.

    Everything can't be quantified and evaluated. Example: Love of Mother 👩 True. - Dr BM Hegde
    Yet, We need to know, Prof. David Hawkins have measured Level of Love Consciousness 500 (Power vs Force ... hidden determinant of human behaviour)

    Or we can just start with something doable, expose economics textbooks for what they are. They teach one narrow perspective called 'neoclassical economics'. The obvious overlooked secret is in chapter 1, it starts with a few different definitions of economics but does not say why these are different, the secret is that these come from different perspectives but the textbook only covers one.

      @@arielbender6173false, it’s been proven in countries such as Denmark, Finland, and Sweden that as daily hardship reduces on account of practical progressive policy being enacted, religious legitimacy can rapidly decrease, as people stop clinging to the idea that they do not understand when economics afford more time for personal study and achievement. This according to neurobiologist and primatologist Robert Sapolsky out of Stanford university in his neurobiology anthology Behave. If you’ve compelling counter-evidence please present with your sources. Impossibility is simply institutional.
