The Economist's Society is the first of its kind at UCL. We are not a cult. We are dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and fueled by a passion for the beauty of theory, as well as a broad interest in the constantly evolving world of economics, and of how it interacts with the worlds of politics, technology, current affairs and global issues. Also caffeine. Just not networking events.

On this site you can find a comprehensive list of our events, our online store and a plethora of information on the most interesting subjects. And if you're so enthusiastic you need even more information (don't pretend you aren't), have a look at our page on the UCL website.
