The AEC also strives to build bridges among all those who, from a critical perspective, wish to contribute to reversing the civilizational crisis we are experiencing, because only through cohesion and collective work can our voice gain strength.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.asociacioneconomiacritica.org\/\" aria-label=\"aec\" class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"578\" height=\"106\" src=\"https:\/\/jec2026.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/aec.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jec2026.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/aec.png 578w, https:\/\/jec2026.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/aec-300x55.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"w-vwrapper us_custom_c81dfaa9 align_center valign_top\" style=\"--vwrapper-gap:0.5rem\"><div class=\"w-counter color_primary align_center\" data-duration=\"2\"><div class=\"w-counter-value\"><span class=\"w-counter-value-part type_text\" data-final=\"+\">+<\/span><span class=\"w-counter-value-part type_number\" data-final=\"100\">100<\/span><span class=\"w-counter-value-part type_text\" data-final=\"\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">researchers from different universities and research centers across the Spanish State make up the AEC, eight of whom form its Executive Board.<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>If you wish to join the Association of Critical Economics, you can do so <a href=\"https:\/\/jec2026.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/AEC-inscripcion.doc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jec2026.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/AEC-inscripcion.doc\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">JOIN TO AEC<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large with_line width_default thick_1 style_solid color_secondary align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The AEC\u2019s main areas of work are three, all aimed at the plural, theoretical, and methodological development of economic knowledge relevant for understanding social reality:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_grid cols_custom laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:3rem;--custom-columns:1.2fr 2.4fr 2.4fr \"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Teaching<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Research<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to publishing the Critical Economics Journal, the AEC publishes a quarterly bulletin and its activity reports.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Knowledge transfer<\/h3>\n<p>Entre los eventos a destacar la AEC se encuentran las Jornadas de Econom\u00eda Cr\u00edtica.
