SUMMARY:Professor Bill Mitchell and Professor Steve Hall Seminar – London
DESCRIPTION:At a time of great change and political\, social and environmental uncertainty both nationally and globally\, it is even more vital to challenge the economic orthodoxy which has informed the political agendas of successive governments both on the right and the left for decades. \nThe GIMMS team therefore cordially invites you to join us for this MMT seminar in London to explore the potential for developing effective communication strategies to engage the public in a much-needed conversation about modern monetary reality and its connection with the daily lives of working people and their families. \nBill Mitchell is a professor of economics at the University of Newcastle\, New South Wales\, Australia and one of the founding developers of Modern Monetary Theory. He is is a prolific author and his most recent co-authored academic textbook ‘Macroeconomics’ which was launched last year in London is now in its third reprint. \nIn his presentation Professor Mitchell will focus on: \n\nchallenging the preconceptions which are embedded in the public consciousness and educational and other public institutions about how money works;\ngiving people the tools with which they can take a more critical approach to the subject of economics;\nand show how such an understanding can assist in the development of solutions to the pressing economic\, social and ecological issues we face;\nexploring what progressives need to do to win back the support of working people.\n\nJoining Professor Mitchell on the platform will be Professor Steve Hall who is an Emeritus Professor of Criminology who has worked at the Universities of Teesside\, Northumbria and Durham. He is also co-author of the book published in 2017 ‘The Rise of the Right: English nationalism and the transformation of working-class politics.’ \nThroughout his career Professor Hall’s main concern has been economic history and its relationship to violence\, social unrest and far-right politics. In his presentation\, he will explain the current rise of populism throughout the West\, and why the MMTmovement should see it as an opportunity to attract the popular support it needs to push past the liberal left’s reluctant\, moribund political establishment. He will emphasise the need to develop a communication strategy resting on a cluster of clear and easily comprehensible messages about MMT’s ability to provide or contribute to developing solutions to the major issues which weigh heavily on people’s minds – jobs\, housing\, infrastructural decay\, private debt\, crime\, terrorism\, popular sovereignty and mass immigration. \n  \nTickets available from Eventbrite here
