Professor Edward Tsang is going to explain why the latest technology means economic theory has to be completely revised. He wants to use his talk to show how to approach problems more realistically while removing flawed assumptions.

Café Scientifique is designed to give the public the chance to hear about the latest research by academics and discuss issues.

The talk at The Minories Garden Café in Colchester High Street is free and doors open at 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start.

There will be ample opportunity for questions and discussion.
