Unlocking Human Potential Is The Key To Broad-Based Prosperity
The Geftas Faculty of Socio-Economic Sciences is founded on the belief that unlocking human potential is the key to broad-based prosperity. This faculty analyzes and engineers social and economic structures that enable each person to thrive, going beyond traditional growth metrics to create systems where all people can fulfill their unique potential.
We envision economic and social systems that honor the intrinsic value of every human life while promoting true prosperity for all. Our research advances policies and economic models aligned with prosperity absolutism and participatory prosperity, creating inclusive frameworks for human development.

“It is useful that while mankind are imperfect there should be different opinions, so it is that there should be different experiments of living; that free scope should be given to varieties of character, short of injury to others; and that the worth of different modes of life should be proved practically, when any one thinks fit to try them.”
John Stuart Mill
