Congestion Pricing is Coming to New York City – Is it fair? Will it Work?

The long-awaited and hard fought congestion pricing policy is here. Although the measure is going into effect in 2021, many are questioning its fairness while others are touting its prospects for ushering in a new era of urban sustainability. Join us for a lively discussion of the potential challenges facing the first experiment of its kind in the United States.

Our panelists include Bhairavi Desai from the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, Dr. Jonas Shaende, Chief Economist at the Fiscal Policy Institute, Dr. Marty Rowland of the Henry George School, and Ben Schulman, Director of The Newburgh Packet. The panel presentations will be followed by a community Q&A.

Location: 149 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016
Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Date: Tuesday, May 14th, 2019

    Economy 2.0: Round Table #1

    Josh Sidman leads the first-ever Economy 2.0 round table episode, featuring Will Ruddick, Michael Meehan, Teun van Sambeek and George Lovegrove. The topic will be the potential for digital and/or blockchain technologies to apply the trust-based dynamics of family or community economy to an extended network in which participants do not know each other personally.

    Aristotle defined economics as the study of “household management.” Households have a complex set of dynamics governing the rights and responsibilities of each member without the need for money or traditional economic contracts or institutions. What if modern technologies give us — for the first time in human history — the possibility of creating extended — or even global — networks built on these holistic dynamics, thus making possible a quantum leap forward in terms of human economy? These four thinkers will each bring their diverse perspectives on the subjects of alternative exchange paradigms and digital token systems to bear on this important and timely subject.
