[EVENT | May 22] Spring Issue Launch: Capitalism Today
On May 22, join James K. Galbraith, J.W. Mason, Julia Ott, and Mark Levinson for a panel discussion at the New School in New York.
Almost a decade since the financial crisis, economic debate remains trapped by stale assumptions that led to the calamity. Liberals don’t have a plan to rescue failing economies—and, despite posturing to the contrary, neither do conservatives. How might the left challenge the surging populism that has fed on widespread economic discontent while advancing a compelling vision for a new economy?
James K. Galbraith, J.W. Mason, Julia Ott, and Mark Levinson discuss.
May 22, 20177–9 p.m.
University Center, The New School
Bob and Sheila Hoerle Lecture Hall, UL105
63 5th Avenue
New York, NY 10003
RSVP on Facebook. The event will also be livestreamed through our Facebook page.
