Tomáš Sedláček is a renowned Czech economist and philosopher known for his interdisciplinary approach combining economics, philosophy, and humanities. His book *Economics of Good and Evil: The Quest for Economic Meaning from Gilgamesh to Wall Street*, published by Oxford University Press, has become a global reference and has been translated into 21 languages. Recognized for his original contributions to economics, Sedláček received the prestigious German “Wirtschaftsbuchpreis” at the Frankfurt Book Fair. He currently serves as Chief Macroeconomic Strategist at CSOB bank and lectures at Charles University in Prague. His unique view of economics as a cultural phenomenon has solidified his reputation as one of the most influential thinkers in his field.
Sedláček began his career as an economic advisor to Czech President Václav Havel at the age of 24, which quickly propelled him to prominence. He has served as a member of the Czech Republic’s National Economic Council and has advised international organizations, including the World Economic Forum on New Economic Thinking, and the European Commission on the “New Narrative for Europe” project. During a fellowship at Yale, he was recognized as one of the “5 Hot Minds in Economics” by Yale Economic Review. Sedláček has worked as a columnist for leading media outlets and is actively involved in non-profit organizations, in addition to lecturing and giving talks worldwide.
Tomáš Sedláček’s conferences are deeply thought-provoking and entertaining, merging economics, mythology, and philosophy to challenge conventional ideas. With a captivating and accessible style, Sedláček invites his audience to explore the meaning of economics beyond numbers, considering its relationship to values, culture, and history. Through analogies between mythological past and present economic issues, Sedláček inspires attendees to rethink economic principles and their societal impact, turning each talk into a journey to the core of economic meaning.
In this talk, Tomáš Sedláček explores economics from a humanistic perspective, moving away from a purely mathematical view. Using examples from literature, religion, and philosophy, he demonstrates how economics reflects the values and ethical dilemmas of our society, inspiring attendees to grasp its true cultural dimension.
Sedláček presents economics as a cultural phenomenon, arguing that it should not be understood solely in mathematical terms but as a discipline that mirrors our values and beliefs. This talk challenges the reductionist view of economics and opens a debate on its role in contemporary society.
In this session, Tomáš Sedláček discusses the importance of values in the economy of the future, addressing issues such as the impact of technology and the need for a values-based economic system. His approach helps leaders and entrepreneurs reflect on how to build a more humane and sustainable economic system.
