Welcome to the LSESU Economics Society! As the largest academic society at the London School of Economics, and with over 1000 students across all disciplines and years of study, we provide unparalleled opportunities to our members.
You will find on this website details of of many of our initiatives, led by our team of 15 Directors. This ranges from our Rationale Magazine, published twice per year with stimulating articles that explore Economics in its broadest sense, to our annual Economics Conference that brings together some of the most prestigious academics, business people and journalists in industry.
Our academic events, which have recently included Ha-Joon Chang and Ryan Avent, provide thought-provoking lectures to our members. Finally, our social events every term have proved hugely popular among LSE students, and attract over 200 students!
