THE ECONOMICS OF PEACE AND THE CITY OF BALTIMORE

 

Date: April 10th, 2021, 2:00 PM- 4:00 PM (EDT)

Ellen Brown and Walt McRee from the Public Banking Institute and Alanna Hartzok, Earth Rights Institute, will focus on how our current economic system grows out of inequities and injustice in our land tenure, tax and money systems. They will then consider how Baltimore can bounce back to prosperity by building a just economy. This unprecedented conversation will consider fundamental reforms of the land, tax and banking system to revive Baltimore’s economy by enabling the supply of affordable housing, locally grown food, and sufficient public finance to pay for parks, schools, libraries, transportation and other needed public goods and services.

Respondents: 

David Swanson, Executive Director, World BEYOND War

Jean L. Athey,  Executive Director, Maryland Peace Action

Michael Brennan, Board Member, Public Banking Institute

    Poverty Perpetuation, Dynamics, Mechanisms, and Reforms


    This talk will investigate the determinants and mechanisms of poverty perpetuation with a view to challenging mainstream academic discourse. We will review Henry George’s theory in an effort to understand why development in modern technology, social services, and education fails to alleviate poverty, and why the growing wealth of industrialized economies tend to stay concentrated in fewer hands. We will look into various growth models to understand the steady state of rich and poor economies, their technical issues, and policy implications, and lastly how the ecological imbalance and climate change impact poverty and vice versa.

    The speaker, Nishu Mehrish is a PhD candidate in Economics at the New School of Social Research, NY.
