SUMMARY:‘Corbynomics': What Next? - James Meadway\, New Economics Founda
 tion
DTSTART:20160119T170000Z

UID:TALK63157@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Pierre Bocquillon
DESCRIPTION:There’s been a lot of excitable talk about Jeremy Corbyn’s
  economic policies in the press\, but little substance. The Corbyn-led Lab
 our Party has a major task ahead of it: to think through what kind of econ
 omic strategy is needed to make anti-austerity policy in the UK function. 
 This talk will look at how these efforts are going\, and where they might 
 lead the left. It will revolve around (but not be restricted to) several t
 hemes: the insufficiency of Keynesianism\; the difficulty of breaking aust
 erity not only as an ideology\, but as a set of practices\; the need for s
 tructural reforms and how to develop popular support for a comprehensive a
 nti-austerity programme that can change the shape of the economy.\n\nJames
  Meadway is consultant economic advisor to Shadow Chancellor John McDonnel
 l. Before that he was chief economist at the New Economics Foundation (NEF
 )\, a leading UK think-tank promoting social\, economic and environmental 
 justice.
