The Next Stage

Financial Reforms, Jobs and Housing, the Dollar and the International System

 

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 will consider the larger implications of the new administration's economic policy on the economy and the international financial and monetary system. Featured speakers include 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 will offer 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.
