F\u00f6r 30 \u00e5r sedan, i den v\u00e4rld d\u00e4r Kalla kriget avslutades, med en hoppfull seger f\u00f6r demokrati och liberal ekonomi, spelade nationalekonomer en stor roll i den allm\u00e4nna sektorn och vid utformningen av policys runt om i v\u00e4rlden och i Sverige. Frances Fukuyama beskrev felaktigt detta som The End of History.<\/p>\n

N\u00e4r historien har r\u00f6rt sig vidare s\u00e5 har den sannerligen fortsatt att producera v\u00e4lst\u00e5nd, l\u00e4ngre f\u00f6rv\u00e4ntad medellivsl\u00e4ngd och en v\u00e4xande medelklass i de flesta delar av v\u00e4rlden. I v\u00e5r nuvarande post Lehman Brothers-v\u00e4rld \u00e4r m\u00e5nga saker givetvis fortfarande de samma, men en del viktiga element i nutidens samh\u00e4lle och ekonomi utmanar etablerad kunskap.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

H\u00e5llbarhet kr\u00e4ver nya former av beaktande och klimatf\u00f6r\u00e4ndringar m\u00e5ste motarbetas. En extremt oj\u00e4mn f\u00f6rdelning av kapital och ekonomiska tillg\u00e5ngar \u00e4r ett faktum samtidigt som valutor skapas med hj\u00e4lp av nya teknologier. Politiska omv\u00e4lvningar och utmaningar av globaliseringen demonstreras av kapaciteten hos v\u00e4rldens n\u00e4st st\u00f6rsta ekonomi Kina, som blomstrar utan demokratiska institutioner. F\u00f6r att n\u00e4mna bara n\u00e5gra.
\nMitt intryck \u00e4r att i denna nya, modiga v\u00e4rld har samh\u00e4llsvetarnas r\u00f6st blivit marginaliserad. Under tidigt 90-tal var jag en historiker som k\u00e4nde mig lite avundsjuk p\u00e5 den framlyfta position som nationalekonomer \u00e5tnj\u00f6t, som siare av framtiden.<\/p>\n

I eran av global kunskapsekonomi, men ocks\u00e5 av Trump, Putin och Brexit, har det paradoxalt nog skett en urvattning av legitimiteten hos akademisk kunskap som en guide f\u00f6r myndigheters agerande. Positionen och ethos hos en l\u00e5ng upplysningskultur beh\u00f6ver repareras och vi beh\u00f6ver inta en stark position i denna r\u00f6relse.<\/p>\n

F\u00f6r en vecka sedan stod Linn\u00e9universitetet v\u00e4rd f\u00f6r en nationell konferens f\u00f6r nationalekonomer. Det var gl\u00e4djande och gjorde mig f\u00f6rhoppningsfull om att all den energi och kunskap som finns bland s\u00e5v\u00e4l nya som \u00e4ldre akademiker kommer att hitta v\u00e4gar f\u00f6r att agera i det offentliga rummet och bidra till att g\u00f6ra v\u00e4rlden till en b\u00e4ttre plats.
\nLinn\u00e9universitetet bidrar till den tradition d\u00e4r akademisk kunskap s\u00e4tts i r\u00f6relse f\u00f6r att f\u00f6r\u00e4ndra v\u00e4rlden.<\/p>\n

Academic knowledge puts the world in motion<\/h2>\n

30 years ago, in the world ending the Cold War, facing a hopeful victory of democracy and liberal economy, economists had a prominent role in the public sphere and in forming policies around the world and in Sweden. Frances Fukuyama mistook this for The End of History.<\/p>\n

As history has moved on, it has certainly continued to produce affluence, longer life expectancy and a rising middle class in most of the world.
\nIn our present post-Lehman Brothers world, many mechanisms, of course, remain intact, but important elements in contemporary society and economy challenge received wisdom.<\/p>\n

Sustainability needs new considerations and climate change needs to be counteracted. An extremely uneven distribution of capital is a fact at the same time as currencies are created by new technologies. The political ruptures and challenges posed by globalisation and demonstrated by the capacity of the second largest economy in the world, China, to thrive without democratic institutions. To mention just a few.<\/p>\n

My impression is that in this new brave world, the voice of social scientists has been marginalised. In the early 90s, I was as a historian a bit jealous of the elevated position of the economists as oracles of the future.<\/p>\n

In the age of a global knowledge economy, but also of Trump, Putin and Brexit, paradoxically a devaluation of the legitimacy of academic knowledge to guide public action seems to have taken place. The place and ethos of a long standing enlightenment culture needs to be repaired and we need to take a strong position in that movement.<\/p>\n

Last week, Linnaeus University hosted the biannual national meeting of economists in Sweden. It made me feel happy and confident that all the energy and knowledge among both new and old academics will find ways to act in the public sphere and help change the world for the better.<\/p>\n

Linnaeus University contributes to the tradition where academic knowledge is put in motion to move the world.<\/p>\n
