Focused on five key shifts, the paper challenges current curricula and lays out the academic evidence and arguments for economics courses that prioritise human and ecological wellbeing. The paper directly addresses KS4 and KS5 economics education in England, but the ideas are globally relevant for other regional, national, and international education systems.
