The Consilium
The official publication of the University of Edinburgh Economics Society
The Consilium exists to provide a platform for rigorous economic thought at the University of Edinburgh. We believe that economics is not merely an academic discipline, but a lens through which to understand the forces that shape our world from global financial markets to local policy decisions.
Founded by the University of Edinburgh Economics Society, we are committed to editorial independence, intellectual honesty, and the highest standards of analytical journalism. Our writers are students bringing fresh perspectives to The Consilium.
The name Consilium is Latin for “council” or “deliberation”, and reflects our belief in the power of informed debate. We do not seek to impose a single viewpoint, but to illuminate the complexity of economic questions and foster thoughtful discourse.
Current economic events and policy developments, explained with clarity and depth.
Thoughtful commentary and argument from our writers on economic and political questions.
In-depth analytical pieces examining economic trends, data, and theoretical questions.
Conversations with economists, policymakers, academics, and practitioners.
