Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) singled out CORE as the bright spot in the international response of the economics profession to how to teach economics after the crisis. The article, titled “We haven’t learned anything from the financial crisis” quotes many other authors on the failure of universities to adapt their courses to respond to this challenge from the real world.

Wendy Carlin took part in BBC Radio 3’s Free Thinking debate on “Britain’s Economy”, chaired by Anne McElvoy. Alongside her: Will Hutton, political economist and author; Luke Johnson, an entrepreneur; and Richard Davies, The Economist‘s economics editor.
