Description
The Keynesian Economics Working Group is glad to announce its participation at the 50th Eastern Economics Association Conference, to be held in Boston between Feb. 29th to Mar. 03rd 2024. At this event, we will have the opportunity do discuss the different economic challenges that we globally face, like the many consequences of the armed conflicts, climate change, rising levels of income inequality, and so many others.
This economic landscape forces us to rethink fundamental ideas and policy options to promote a sustainable and environmentally friendly growth that reduces inequalities. Join us to discuss how to tackle these challenges and what are the alternatives provided by new economic thinking.
As a pre-conference event, we will held a workshop on February 28th. More details on this pre-conference to be published soon.
