Economy 2.0, launched in collaboration with The Silvio Gesell Foundation, is a monthly series that investigates these pressing questions. Each episode will feature thought leaders, economists, and forward-thinking experts sharing their perspectives on the future of the global economy and the path forward.
In this episode, host Josh Sidman is joined by Edward Dodson.
Mr. Dodson attended Shippensburg University and Temple University where he received an economics degree. Ed worked for Fannie Mae, a public-private partnership to help distribute home mortgage loans. During his time at Fannie Mae, Mr. Dodson held numerous management and analyst positions within the Housing & Community Development group, helping revitalize neighborhoods and local communities. This gives him an interesting perspective on land use and reform, and how it can reduce inequality. He also has extensive experience as a history lecturer at the Osher Life Long Learning Institute and the Learning is For Everyone program at Burlington County College. Edward has written many papers on history and the political economy and is the author of a three-volume book series titled The Discovery of First Principles.
