The New School Graduate Program in International Affairs

Why - despite the government's massive aid to financial companies, record low interest rates, and broad economic stimulus - does the economic crisis deepen?  Is it becoming a socially divisive crisis? What must now be done?

GPIA Instructor, Professor Richard Wolff, will speak about recent policies of the government since the economic crisis and why recovery isn't working. 

Professor Richard D. Wolff is Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of Massachusetts, Amherst where he taught economics from 1973 to 2008. He is currently a Visiting Professor in the Graduate Program in International Affairs of the New School University, New York City. He also teaches classes regularly at the Brecht Forum in Manhattan.

Earlier he taught economics at Yale University (1967-1969) and at the City College of the City University of New York (1969-1973). In 1994, he was a Visiting Professor of Economics at the University of Paris (France), I (Sorbonne).
