December 5-6, 2011
Princeton, New Jersey
A consultation organized by
The Program in Ethics, Culture, and Economic Development
of the
Witherspoon Institute
Cosponsored by
The Keller Center For Innovation in Engineering Education
of
Princeton University
This consultation is a private meeting.
This consultation brings together distinguished academics, public intellectuals, and business practitioners for an in-depth analysis of the American economy, its present problems, and future direction. Too often, discussions of the economy are narrowly focused on specific features of economic life or conducted at a very general and abstract level of political and economic theory. Missing is a perspective that can help us to think more productively about the overall economy in concrete and practical ways.
The consultation consists of round-table discussion of papers prepared in advance by some of the experts attending the meeting. A memorandum titled "The Economic Challenge," prepared by Rutgers economist Michael Bordo and Princeton economic historian Harold James, provides a reference framework for the paper topics and discussion.
The consultation will begin on Monday, December 5th at 9:00am and end on Tuesday, December 6th at 1:00pm. For more information about this private consultation, please use the links below:
