The Economics to Come

An interview with Elio D’Anna, Founder and President

Of the European School of Economics

Q. After the financial crisis, the frontiers and the players of the global economy have changed. The technological developments and the rise of social media have changed the way we reach information, people… We live in a world which is very different from 20 years ago. In which way does the European School of Economics (ESE) respond to this new order?

“Until now all economic systems have dealt with survival, with people’s basic needs: food, shelter, clothing and reproduction. The economics of Neanderthals and the economics of a modern complex society are essentially the same. The new economics of the coming decades deals not anymore with survival or to keep people alive for a few decades, but with longevity and everlasting life. New technologies and resources aim at the indefinite extension of each human Life. This is the beginning of a twenty-first-century Economics of Immortality. All existing ideologies of left and right are outdated and obsolete. Powerful forces coming from the individual and not from the mass are steadily rewriting the fundamentals of Life. Every individual is called to create, through his dream, a new humanity, and redesign and project in the world of events a new economics and a brand new epoch.” – Elio D’Anna from ‘The

What is the major difference between ESE and other business schools?

“You can create and experience all kinds of desires, but your dream is only yours. The aim of the European School of Economics is to focus each of its students on the uniqueness of his own dream.

Conventional education, which has pervaded for centuries in schools and universities all over the world, has created conformity, and has regimented young minds, pruning away the fantasy, the vitality, and the search for one’s own uniqueness.

Above all, universities have become factories that produce employee-minded men and women, job-fillers worried about nothing more than finding an occupation and surviving. Our civilisation needs visionary leaders, pragmatic dreamers, individuals.

Beyond the powerhouses of industry… the skyscrapers of finance…behind all that we see and touch, at the origin of every intuition, of every scientific achievement there is the Dream of one man, an individual. Only individuals can transform society.

ESE dedicates particular care and attention to each and every student. It has developed an educational system that places the individual at the core of its activity. From day one, lecturers and tutors guide student to focus on the achievement of his/her professional goals by creating tailor-made courses of study designed to orchestrate in-class learning with hands-on work experience.

The excellence of the faculty, the innovative teaching methods, the international environment, and the unique placement programme carried out in collaboration with over 1500 leading corporations make the European School of Economics graduates among the best on the new global market. This is reflected in one of the highest graduate employment rates in Europe.
