Founded in London during the 1930’s to explore economics

The School of Economic Science was founded in London in 1937 to promote the study of the natural laws governing human society and all related studies. At that time the central subject was economics, or as it was then known, economic science.

The establishment of the School followed closely upon, and arose as a response to the great economic depression of the early 1930s, which had a devastating effect on the economic and social welfare of thousands of people. Thus the main issue underlying the early studies was how economic justice might be achieved through a sound and fair system of taxation and equitable distribution of wealth.
