Sunday, April 12th | Breakout: Workshop Your Ideal World and Personal Investments

Arjo Klamer is an economist and Professor Emeritus of Cultural Economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Over the course of his career, he has taught at several American universities and has become widely known for his work on values, culture, and the economy. He currently lectures at the School of Applied Lecturers and serves as academic advisor to Aethiqs, where he contributes to the design and implementation of impact evaluations using a value-based approach.

Klamer is the author of several books, including Doing the Right Things (2017) and Sense of Purpose (2021). His upcoming book, The Human Economy, offers a radically different perspective on how we think about economic value and purpose. Earlier in his career, he also served as a city councillor ("wethouder") in his hometown of Hilversum.

During the breakout session "Workshop Your Ideal World and Personal Investments," Arjo invites participants to reflect on the world they would truly like to see emerge. Using the lens of human economics, the session explores the practices that are meaningful in themselves and how our investments can support the kinds of impact we ultimately wish to create.
