ABOUT US
The Scottish Economic Society is dedicated to advancing the study and teaching of economics, inspired by the rich Scottish tradition of political economy established by Adam Smith.
Our key objectives are:
Promoting Economics
To foster a comprehensive understanding and appreciation of economics in its broadest sense.
Addressing Scottish Issues
To provide a platform for discussing Scottish economic challenges and their interplay with the political and social fabric of Scotland.
HISTORY
Founded in 1954 as the successor to the Scottish Society of Economists (established in 1897), SES embraces an inclusive approach to economic explanation.
We recognise the human, social, and historical dimensions of economic activity, accommodating diverse perspectives on theoretical and policy issues.
SES serves as a professional body for economists from all backgrounds, representing the collective interests of our members. We strive to make a positive and informed contribution to economic and political debates, particularly within Scotland.
