SUMMARY:Underground Empire: How America Weaponized the World Economy
DESCRIPTION:IN-PERSON AND LIVESTREAM EVENT\nRegister here. \nUnderground Empire\, a real-life techno-thriller by Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman\, reveals how the U.S. controls a global web of surveillance — in the form of networks of fiber optic cables and banking systems — that give it enormous economic power.

Paul Krugman — Nobel laureate in economics\, columnist for The New York Times\, and distinguished professor at the Graduate Center\, CUNY — speaks with the authors about their investigation and the geopolitical implications of the power they uncover. Farrell is a professor at Johns Hopkins University and editor-in-chief of The Monkey Cage blog at The Washington Post; Newman is a professor at Georgetown University and also co-author of the book Of Privacy and Power: The Transatlantic Struggle Over Freedom and Security. \nPresented with the Graduate Center. \nA video of this event will be posted a few days later on the Graduate Center’s YouTube Channel. \nPlease contact Jimmy Cok at jcok@gc.cuny.edu in advance for CART services or any additional accessibility requests or concerns for in-person events.​ This event will be livestreamed\, and closed captions will be provided.

SUMMARY:Child Poverty in America: Investing in Our Future
DESCRIPTION:IN-PERSON AND LIVESTREAM EVENT\nRegister here. \nWhen the enhanced Child Tax Credit of 2021 was not renewed by Congress\, millions of American children fell back into poverty.

SUMMARY:Conference on Coalitional Democracy (Virtual)

What are effective models—past and present—for pushing beyond traditional approaches? Spend a day learning from thinkers\, scholars\, politicians\, and activists about ways to build coalitions across issues and lines of race\, gender\, class\, and sexuality in order to create a more equal and democratic society. \nResources and videos from the conference and conference participants are available on the Coalitional Democracy Conference page.\nPresented with The Graduate Center/CUNY and as part of The Promise and Perils of Democracy series supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.  \nSee here for conference brochure and full panel descriptions. \n \n

SUMMARY:Capitalism and Democracy: Can They Coexist?
DESCRIPTION:Capitalism is losing its luster. Most millennials in the U.S. now say they prefer socialism. Inequality is rising\, as those at the top take more of economic winnings. Anger and despair have risen among many of those who are being left behind. Populism is on the rise\, on the political left and right. Capitalism and democracy were once seen as symbiotically related: a broadly market economy embedded within a liberal\, representative demos. Now the partnership is in question\, in part because of the perceived failure of democratic institutions to generate shared economic prosperity. So: what’s next? State capitalism? Socialism? A basic income? An expert panel discusses these issues\, featuring: Leslie McCall\, presidential professor of sociology and political science and associate director of the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality at The Graduate Center; Vanessa Williamson\, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of Read My Lips: Why Americans Are Proud to Pay Taxes; and Andrew Yang\, tech entrepreneur\, philanthropist\, and founder of Venture for America. Moderated by Richard Reeves\, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution\, author of Dream Hoarders and curator of the The Guardian’s “Broken Capitalism” series. \nPresented in collaboration with The Guardian’s series “Broken Capitalism.” \n  \nWatch the video of this event.

SUMMARY:Workers and Wages in America Today
DESCRIPTION:In this time of low unemployment\, why is it so hard for American workers to make a living? Why haven’t the economy’s gains of the recent past meant higher wages for everyone? A panel of experts examines the power\, or weakness\, of the American worker—looking at factors such as features of U.S. markets\, technology\, globalization\, gendered wage patterns\, and the decline of unions. Featuring Paul Krugman\, Nobel Prize–winning economist\, New York Times columnist\, and distinguished professor at The Graduate Center; Heidi Shierholz\, senior economist and director of policy at The Economic Policy Institute; Arindrajit Dube\, professor of economics at UMass Amherst; and Eduardo Porter\, economics reporter for the business section of The New York Times (moderator). \nWatch the video.
