In this young scholar workshop organised by the Hamburg Institute for Social Research and the Young Scholars Initiative, we want to engage critically with the matter of fiscal and monetary cooperation: Which motives and interests currently drive monetary and fiscal policies? To what degree is coordination already taking place in practice but merely unofficially? How could central bank independence be challenged politically? In which circumstances would it be beneficial to do so? Who is benefitting from the current design? Who would have an interest in greater policy coordination? What are the dangers attached to it in times of right-wing populist governments gaining prominence in many countries all around the world?
