An analysis of the modern neoliberal world, its characteristics, flaws and planetary boundaries to finish with new economic policies to put in place and a global redistribution of power, wealth and roles. In this lecture Costas Lapavitsas briefly introduces the following topics:

How has debt increased in the past decade?

How has the financial crisis been building in the past years?

How does the role of the state differ in developed and developing countries?

Comment from our editors:

Lapavitsas takes a strong stand on the role of the state and public spending in fighting the crisis and the need to move towards a capital flow back into the state's funds.

Union for Radical Political Economics
Founded in 1968, The Union for Radical Political Economics (URPE) is an interdisciplinary membership organization of academics and of activists. Its mission is to promote the study, development and application of radical political economic analysis to social problems. Concretely, this involves a continuing critique of both the capitalist system, and of all forms of exploitation and oppression. URPE’s mission also includes, coming out of this critique, helping to construct a progressive social policy, and a human-centered radical alternative to capitalism.

Als Gegenströmung zur Verhaltensökonomik oder zu rationaler Nutzenmaximierung werden Gemeinsinn, Imagination und Pluralität in der Ökonomie verankert.
