SUMMARY:PEF Event: Will Hutton 'Change Britain\, Stop Brexit' - 9 Oct
DESCRIPTION:‘Change Britain\, Stop Brexit’ by Will Hutton.\nCo-hosted by Progressive Economy Forum (PEF) and SOAS\nThe lecture will take place on the 9th October at 7pm in SOAS’s Brunei Lecture Theatre.\nTo register your attendance please go to the EventBrite page.\nAny questions please contact: mdavies@progressiveeconomyforum.com or go to the PEF website \nThe EU referendum result exposed deep economic and social divisions in our society\, and this was decisive in persuading millions to vote against the status quo. Leave voters were right; this status quo is insupportable\, and too many of our fellow citizens are leading lives haunted by lack of income and opportunity. But the answer was never to blame the EU and immigration\, the unholy if politically adept message of Leavers. Rather\, our problems have been firmly minted at home by a succession of policy failures that go back decades. \nBuilding on the themes of his most recent book Saving Britain: How We Can Prosper in a New European Future (with Andrew Adonis)\, in this lecture Will Hutton sets out an agenda to repurpose British companies and the financial system\, to address inequality at root by re-enfranchising workers\, to remake a shattered social contract and to rebuild the British polity around the principles of decentralisation\, commitment to the creation of public value and genuine accountability. Only thus can Britain full-heartedly take its place as a full member of the EU – and seize the opportunities afforded by new technologies and globalisation.

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – “Fiscal Space: What have we learnt since the crises?" by Jagjit Chadha
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 10 October 2018\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Jagjit Chadha\nTalk Title:“Fiscal Space: What have we learnt since the crises?”\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nAll are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Judge Business School. \nSpeaker\nJagjit Chadha is Director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research. He is on a full time absence of leave as Professor of Economics at the University of Kent and was a part-time Professor of economics at Cambridge. He was previously Professor of Economics at the University of St Andrews and Fellow at Clare College\, Cambridge. He has worked at the Bank of England as an Official working on Monetary Policy and as Chief Quantitative Economist at BNP Paribas. He has acted as Specialist Adviser to the House of Commons Treasury Committee and academic adviser to both the Bank of England and HM Treasury. He sits on the Research Committee of the Economics and Social Research Council and on the REF2020 panel. His main research interests are developing the links between finance and macroeconomics in general equilibrium models and he has published widely in economics journals. He has just completed a British Academy Grant to study fiscal data in the 19th century. \nTalk Overview\nJagjit Chadha will talk on the traditional approach to fiscal policy\, which involves respecting the simple notion of debt sustainability. This over-riding concern has led to considerable weight being placed on cutting public expenditure following a ballooning in public debt after the great financial crisis. We have also formulated a sequence of fiscal rules and around the world observe that Councils have been developed to support the credibility of fiscal policy under uncertainty. But have we done the right thing? Jagjit will consider a number of possible extensions to the standard response of seeking to reduce debt and limiting taxation. First\, we shall examine how episodes of high public debt are successfully reversed? Secondly\, we shall consider what links between monetary and fiscal policy that are overlooked\, in particular by drawing on the experience of QE. Thirdly\, how are the prescriptions for monetary and fiscal policy affected by market incompleteness? And finally what role does the debt management of maturity and debt instruments play setting fiscal policy? Jagjit will illustrate with examples from the past and from the recent crisis in the Euro Area and suggest that our current settlement of tight monetary-fiscal policy may be responsible for the economic trap of low growth. \n\n\nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (m.kitson@jbs.cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘Scientific Macroeconomics and the Quantity Theory of Credit’ by Richard Werner
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 17 October 2018\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Richard Werner\nTalk Title: ‘Scientific Macroeconomics and the Quantity Theory of Credit’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nAll are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Judge Business School. \nSpeaker:\nRichard Werner is Professor and Chair in International Banking at the University of Southampton (since 2005)\, and is founding director of the Centre for Banking\, Finance and Sustainable Development. He is a Member of Linacre College\, Oxford\, Convenor of the Association for Research on Banking and the Economy (ARBE)\, and member of the ECB Shadow Council. He is also the founding chair of Local First\, a community interest company establishing not-for-profit community banks in the UK\, starting with the Hampshire Community Bank. Richard previously was a Professor of monetary\, macro and development economics at Goethe-University Frankfurt and assistant professor at Sophia University\, Tokyo. In 1992\, as European Commission Fellow at Oxford\, Richard integrated the banking system in a macroeconomic model able to distinguish between the impact of bank credit on asset markets and economic growth (the ‘Quantity Theory of Disaggregated Credit’)\, and warned of the coming banking crisis and deep recession in Japan. In 1995 he advanced a post-banking crisis monetary policy to stimulate the economy\, which he called ‘Quantitative Easing’ (followed in 1998 by ‘Enhanced Debt Management’). In 2003 he warned of the credit-driven asset bubbles and crises in the eurozone. Richard has published in journals and in books. \nTalk Overview:\nAlison in Wonderland was not an equilibrium economist: she only believed six impossible things before breakfast (equilibrium economists need to believe at least eight impossible things). Scientific research methodology is reviewed and it is proposed to also deploy it in economics. Doing this\, key features of how actual economies work can be established. It is seen that all markets must be expected to be rationed (i.e. in disequilibrium). Scientific methodology also helps in identifying the link between the financial system and the real economy\, including sustainable development\, the role of interest rates\, money and the existence and functioning of banks. It is seen how to predict and prevent boom-bust cycles\, banking crises and subsequent recessions\, as well as how to react appropriately once they happen\, without burdening the tax payer. The role of central banks is also discussed\, as well as their reaction to the empirical refutation of their longstanding preferred narrative. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers\nPhilip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (mk24@cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query \n  \n
