Understanding the Chinese Model – State Capitalism or Market-Maoism?

As China experiments with its unique form of indigenous capitalism, it managed to pull 800 million people out of poverty in a record time while it maintained a strong economy despite the dire predictions of Western pundits. At the same time many of its counterparts in the West are facing very economically challenging times. In this interactive seminar Michael Bucher asks what’s driving China’s success story and what lessons the rest of the world can learn from one of the greatest social experiments of the century.

Instructor: Michael Bucher

    MODERN MONEY & PUBLIC POLICY – SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT THE FEDERAL DEFICIT?


    Few issues are more debated and yet less understood than the federal budget. We often hear that a balanced budget is key to national prosperity and that the national debt and deficits are the source of all economic ills. Based on Randall Wray’s book Making Money Work for Us: How MMT Can Save America, this panel will explain why we should stop worrying about the federal deficit and that the only real constraints on public policy are physical resources, technological capacity, and political will; but never money.
