Book Talk with Prof. James Galbraith

Описание: Join us for an insightful webinar featuring Professor James Galbraith discussing his groundbreaking new book, 'Entropy Economics: The Living Basis of Value and Production,' co-authored with Jing Chen and published by the University of Chicago Press. This innovative work proposes that principles from living and mechanical systems should underpin economic analysis, improving policies related to development, sustainability, resource management, and more. The session, moderated by Richard Samans, Senior Fellow at the Geneva Graduate Institute for International and Development Studies and Special Advisor to the United Nations Economist Network (UNEN), includes remarks from Dr. Anastasia Nesvetailova, Head of the Macroeconomic and Development Policies Branch at UNCTAD, and Professor Steve Keen, Distinguished Research Fellow at UCL Institute for Strategy Resilience and Security.

This is the inaugural activity of a new initiative in association with the UN Economist Network to create a global network of academic and other expert networks whose focus is fundamental improvement in the very conception and practice of economic growth and development for the purpose of better enabling the human-centred vision of progress articulated by the Sustainable Development Goals and in the countless appeals of leaders and citizens since the Great Financial Crisis for a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient model of organizing economies. Don't miss this engaging discussion on the necessity and implications of rethinking foundational economic concepts.
