McHarg Center, University of Pennsylvania
“The Economics of a Green Recovery”
Join Stephanie Kelton, Richard Murphy, & Gernot Wagner in conversation with Mark Paul and Billy Fleming, presented by the Ian L. McHarg Center for Urbanism and Ecology, and the Socio-Spatial Climate Collaborative, or SC(2).
One of the central, unanswered questions in debates surrounding the Green New Deal and ongoing stimulus negotiations in Congress is: how will we marshal the resources to transform America’s economy around its principles of clean energy jobs, justice for frontline communities, and rapid decarbonization? This conversation has begun to take shape in the fields of economics and finance, where green stimulus, industrial policy, and other long-ignored policy levers have once again moved to the center of discourse.
