The Economics of What's Possible: An Evening with Stephanie Kelton
This isn鈥檛 really an event about economics. It鈥檚 about what economics quietly decides for us: how long you wait in an ER, whether your kid gets a daycare spot, and why transit projects take so long to build.
So often, when a program doesn't get funded, we're told it's a budget problem. , the economist behind the bestselling book and the documentary has spent her career studying that pattern: not whether a federal government can spend money, but why it chooses to spend on some things and not others.
Come hear her perspective, bring your questions, and explore the real-world consequences of those choices. No economics background required. Just bring your curiosity.
This Bruce & Lis Welch Community Dialogue is co-presented by 51猎奇入口Public Square and 51猎奇入口Centre for Dialogue. It is the third offering of When the Map is Useless: Conversations for a World in Transition, a multi-year series that convenes 51猎奇入口and the broader community to strengthen public sense-making and civic discourse during a time of profound social, political, and ecological change. This initiative is supported in part by the North Family Foundation.
