Diagnosing & Responding to the Economic Crisis How Chapter 12 Can Save Us from Chapter 11 Approach to Diagnosing and Responding to the Economic Crisis Join Stephen B. Young in a discussion regarding the ethical and policy dimensions of the economic recession, including Keynes's prediction of the crisis in chapter 12 of his 1936 masterpiece, the General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money. Where: Stewart Mott House * 122 Maryland Avenue NE *Washington, D.C. Hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will be provided. When: 6:30PM - 8:30PM More on: How Chapter 12 Can Save Us from Chapter 11 Can the solutions to the current economic crisis be found in a return to Keynesian Economics? The rapid and massive collapse of the global economy has many people wondering what it means to capitalism. Some are finding it a case of 'Back to the Future." After falling out of favor during the go-go 1980's, many - including President Obama - are now arguing that we need to return to the economic principles espoused by John Maynard Keynes. Keynes' thinking provided the main inspiration for economic policy makers in Europe, America and much of the rest of the world from 1939 to 1979. In fact, Chapter 12 of Keynes' seminal 1936 work General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money entitled "The State of Long-term Expectation" offers insight not only into how the world got into the current fiscal crisis, it also recommends a path to a more stable future. Stephen B. Young, Esq., is the author of Moral Capitalism and the global executive director of the Caux Round Table, a group of globally prominent business leaders that promotes transcultural standards for organizational integrity and responsibility. He earned his A.B. and J.D. degrees from Harvard University and served as assistant dean at the Harvard Law School and dean of the Hamline University School of Law. In her 2008 book, The Difference Makers, Sandra Waddock listed Mr. Young as one of 23 leaders who guided the development of the corporate responsibility movement.
