Levy Economics Institute Presents

Welcome to Levy Economics: What It Is and Why It Matters

In this virtual discussion, Senior Scholar James K. Galbraith (University of Texas at Austin and Levy Economics Institute) will explore a powerful idea: how the tools of economics shape the economic world itself. He will introduce the Institute’s distinctive approach to providing and shaping a critical alternative to the mainstream. Drawing on decades of work with the Institute, Galbraith will explore why mainstream economics has reached a dead end, how the Institute has provided a home for transformative ideas—from Minsky and Godley to Modern Money Theory—and why its approach matters for understanding and addressing inequality, instability, and the economic policy of tomorrow.

Open to the public via livestream, this event kicks off the Levy Institute’s Fall Seminar Series and offers a glimpse into what makes it a singular place to study and practice economics.
