The founding of The Vertex Journal of Economic Sciences is more than an academic project—it is inspired by the hope of creating a more informed, equitable, and forward-thinking world. We envision building a dynamic scholarly community that critically examines economic realities, policies, and systems, always striving for ideas that lead to better livelihoods, inclusive growth, and sustainable development. Through this journal, we intend to strengthen the role of economics in shaping societies by fostering rigorous, independent inquiry. Economics is not just about markets and numbers; it is about people, their choices, their well-being, and the institutions that structure their lives. Understanding these facets helps us imagine improved futures—futures we can collectively work toward by producing insightful research and challenging conventional assumptions. We warmly invite you to join us in this endeavor to make this shared DREAM a meaningful reality.
