Modern Money and Public Purpose
2012-2013 Series on Contemporary Issues in Law and Political Economics
COLUMBIA LAW SCHOOL, 435 WEST 116TH STREET, NEW YORK
The global economy has recently experienced a series of catastrophic and destabilizing events, including the Global Financial Crisis, the Eurozone Crisis, the Debt-Ceiling Crisis and the ongoing Great Recession. Today, nations around the world continue to suffer from stagnant growth and historically high unemployment rates, despite healthy profit growth in the financial sector and wealthiest echelons of society. The failure of orthodox economics to adequately predict and explain these crises, as well as the inadequacy of existing policy responses across the political spectrum, from traditional Keynesian "pump-priming" to harsh fiscal austerity, underscore the need for a new economic paradigm grounded in legal and operational realities and the human needs of a 21st-century economy.

Modern Money and Public Purpose is a free, public-oriented seminar series outlining a vision of an alternative economic future, in which democratic societies effectively use their legal and monetary systems to achieve full employment and promote public purpose. Individual seminars are intended to serve as catalysts for further engagement and dialogue through our online Forum and Blog. Videos of each seminar, and accompanying materials, are available in the Courses section.
Please see the About section for more information on the series, and the Network section for more information on participants, organizers and sponsors. |
