Omniconomics: The Re-Creation of Economics for a Sustainable Future

Omniconomics is a new interdisciplinary science that seeks to make human society intrinsically sustainable, harmoniously embedded in nature, and free from environmental and social threats. It is based on an innovative, joined-up approach that links all aspects of the natural and social sciences. The book aims to inspire a public, scientific, and political debate about the role of present-day economics, its status as a protoscience, and the consequences for (inter)national policies and developments. It also stimulates interdisciplinary research within universities to create an omniconomic science that will replace the discipline of economics and become a genuine, mature science.

Omniconomics is a groundbreaking approach that seeks to transform traditional economics and create a sustainable, harmonious society embedded within nature. Citing the flaws of existing economic systems, Niko Roorda presents omniconomics as a new interdisciplinary science that integrates all aspects of the natural and social sciences. By adopting a joined-up approach, omniconomics aims to provide innovative solutions to pressing issues such as climate change, deforestation, economic inequality, dehumanization, and social cohesion.

The book aims to inspire a public debate about the role of economics in today's world, questioning its status as a protoscience and its implications for international policies and developments. It encourages independent, out-of-the-box thinking among students, graduates, politicians, leaders of society, and the general public concerned about the major challenges facing our society. The book also stimulates interdisciplinary research within universities to create an omniconomic science that will replace economics as a genuine and mature science.

Furthermore, omniconomics challenges readers to go beyond short-term solutions like the Sustainable Development Goals and the circular economy, urging them to rethink accepted economic approaches and explore more holistic and sustainable solutions. By adopting an omniconomic perspective, we can create a society that is resilient, prosperous, and sustainable, while preserving the integrity of our natural environment.
