The current state of the “shadow banking system,” rising unemployment rates, the sinking value of the dollar, and the lasting mortgage crisis demonstrate the need for long-view reform.
The Next Stage discussed the larger implications of the new administration’s economic policy on the economy and the international financial and monetary system. Featured speakers included James K. Galbraith, Stephany Griffith-Jones, Jan Kregel, Robert Johnson, and others.
Phil Angelides of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission and Damon Silvers of the Congressional Oversight Panel presented the keynote remarks.
The Next Stage is hosted by Economists for Peace and Security; Foundation for Human Progress’ Initiative for Rethinking the Economy; the New America Foundation; and the World Trade Center Washington DC.
