UNU-ONY Releases UNU Conversation Series: The Economic Crisis
26 June, 2009
On the occasion of the United Nations Conference on the world financial and economic crisis and its impact on development, to be held at the UN Headquarters in New York from 24-26 June 2009, the United Nations University, a think-tank for the United Nations and its member states, presents a multimedia intellectual forum on the economic crisis, the "UNU Conversation Series".
The objective is to bring clarity to some of the key issues at the center of the economic crisis, to explain what is at stake and what should be done to overcome the problems that we currently face. With this in mind, the United Nations University brings together some of the most important intellectual and policy voices from around the globe, including Olivier Blanchard, Janos Bogardi, Francois Bourguignon, Noam Chomsky, Richard Cooper, Evsey Gurvich, Robert Johnson, Jomo Kwame Sundaram, Wim Naude, Léonce Ndikumana, Eisuke Sakakibara, Luc Soete, Joseph Stiglitz, Roberto Mangabeira Unger, Aude Zieseniss de Thuin, to name a few.
Through these conversations, you will have the opportunity to learn about the causes of the financial and economic crisis, how this crisis manifests itself in developed and developing countries, how long it is likely to continue and, perhaps more importantly, what can be done to address it.
The UNU Conversation Series is available at: http://www.unueconomiccrisis.org/
