ISINI is a society composed of scholars and humanists from over sixty countries from the areas of economics, finance, and the social sciences in general. It is devoted to the study of economic and financial thought, and of current economic problems such as economic and financial globalization, economic development, sustainable growth, sovereign debt, adjustment and structural change, monetary policies, poverty, and economic systems in transition. Through the exchange of ideas and information among its members, as well as with scholars from other applied and pure sciences, it seeks to create or recreate alternative paradigms that can help to formulate adequate policies to solve those problems.

According to the STATUTES and BYLAWS, the purpose of the society is threefold:
a) To foster and support the discovery and dissemination of new ideas, in particular in economics and other social sciences and to arrange for their testing (logical and/or empirical) in the realm of various possible social, economic and political systems, as far as analysis can go.

b) To initiate and cultivate a contact and consultation not only among economists, financial economists, sociologists and political scientist but also between social and natural scientists including men of arts and letters.

c) To study systematically (using both theoretical and practical reason) the application of new ideas to problems of the real world of today and tomorrow in various existing social regimes and considering the diverse levels of development and historical circumstances. A priority goal is to elaborate development, stabilization, and transitional plans for the various countries where the Society is represented.
