543          <div class="op-7 text-adaptive">SORA Economic Forum is an event where the community comes together enabling
544            scientists and speakers to discuss how SORA could have an impact on the economic future of the world. This
545            online event will enable a substantive discourse between sc
545holars, innovators and leaders of the SORA
546            community to more deeply explore the tokenomics, macroeconomics and governance structures of SORA.</div>

550          <div class="mb-10 f-14 semibold text-uppercase sp-20 title">What is the role of experts?</div>
551          <div class="op-7 text-adaptive">In addition to citizens, full-time teams of experts are likely needed to work
552            in the ministries of the SORA Parliament in order to perform analyses and simulations, as well as propose
553            long-term strategic policies. Including domain experts into a democratic process, without having
554            non-democratic domination by a technocratic elite is a very difficult balance to accomplish.</div>

559          <div class="op-7 text-adaptive">Because SORA (XOR) aims to be a supranational, global unit of account, store
560            of value, and medium of exchange, the SORA Parliament also needs to be global, so as to avoid a Triffin
561            dilemma. Thus, the end goal of all of this is to create not only a global new economic order, but also a
562            supranational governance system that can go along with it.</div>
