SUMMARY:YSI panel at the III International Workshop on Empirical Stock-Flow Consistent Modelling
DESCRIPTION:Since the Global Financial Crisis that broke out in 2008 there has been an increased interest in stock-flow consistent (SFC) models as a tool for understanding macroeconomic dynamics and undertaking prospective analyses. Their coherent integration of real and financial variables combined with their greater emphasis on realism compared to the models used at the time gave them an unprecedented level of attraction. In the last years official institutions at the national and the international level have developed new full-fledged SFC macroeconomic models (Burgess et al. 2016\, Barbieri Hermitte et al. 2023\, Godin and Yilmaz\, 2020)\, while many of those who have not yet done so are trying to incorporate stock-flow consistency into their analyses. At the academic level\, there is a growing number of books and articles based on the SFC approach\, and an increasing number of Master’s and Ph.D. students engaged in expanding the applications of this powerful methodology. \nThe community of researchers working on empirical SFC models is quite strong\, as many of its members were disciples of the pioneers and\, in the case of the younger scholars\, many pursued their studies contemporaneously and regularly met at different international conferences. Despite the growing number of researchers within this field\, the fact that each of us is working in a different place does not leave too much room to share our work and\, most importantly\, the details of our methodologies\, with the depth that would be needed to foster a collective learning process. When possible\, joint work is done. But given the large investment that building an empirical SFC model requires and considering that each researcher is mostly interested in developing a model for their own country\, it ends up happening that within the community there is a general idea of who is doing what\, but we all feel that we would like to know more about how. Sharing our knowledge of the technical details of our work and explaining why certain criteria are followed at the expense of others is particularly important for Master’s and Ph.D. students\, as well as young scholars\, who are taking their first steps. \nTo strengthen our ties and establish a more fluid dialogue between our work\, we organized the 2nd International Workshop on Empirical Stock-flow Consistent Modelling\, which took place at the University of Athens on November 21–22\, 2024. The event gathered researchers working on different applications of empirical SFC models\, covering topics such as alternative model closures\, the macrofinancial consequences of a Net Zero energy transition\, the transmission of post-Covid shocks in Poland\, fiscal policy and the revised Stability Pact in Italy\, ecological and input-output-based extensions of SFC models for Colombia\, the UK and Denmark\, and new models for Greece and Morocco. Each session combined detailed presentations with discussants who had carefully read the work beforehand\, which allowed for in-depth exchanges that went far beyond what traditional conferences typically permit. Given the richness of the discussions and the diversity of approaches presented\, it is our ambition to summarize the experiences in working with empirical models in an article that can serve as an inspiration and a reference point for people who want to engage in this field. \nBuilding on the success of Athens\, the next International Workshop on Empirical Stock-flow Consistent Modelling will take place in Cassino on January 14–16\, 2026. A central innovation of this new edition will be the introduction of a dedicated space for Ph.D. students and young scholars\, who represent the future of this research community. Their papers will not only be presented but will also be formally discussed by senior scholars\, providing them with in-depth feedback and academic guidance that is rarely available in traditional conference settings. \nWe see this as a crucial step to support the new generation of researchers: it will help them refine their methodologies\, connect with peers and mentors\, and gain visibility within the international community of empirical SFC modelers. By strengthening this bridge between established experts and emerging scholars\, the Cassino workshop will consolidate the workshop series not only as a forum for technical and methodological exchange\, but also as a platform for training and mentoring\, ensuring the continuity and vitality of the field in the years to come.

SUMMARY:Strengthening Housing Inclusion: Global Lessons on Housing Cooperative from the ILRAI Report
DESCRIPTION:Across the world\, housing remains an indispensable pillar of human dignity\, social inclusion\, and sustainable development. As urbanisation accelerates\, global housing deficit expands\, and there is growing recognition that traditional market-driven housing systems cannot\, on their own\, meet the needs of diverse populations. Cooperative housing has therefore re-emerged as a scalable\, democratic\, and socially protective model that responds directly to affordability pressures and community-oriented housing aspirations. The International Cooperative Alliance (ICA)\, through Cooperative Housing International\, conducted the International Legal Research and Analysis Initiative (ILRAI)\, a global comparative legal analysis of housing cooperative laws\, covering several jurisdictions across Africa\, Europe\, America\, Asia\, and the Pacific. The report was formally presented at the Peace Palace\, The Hague\, seat of the International Court of Justice (ICJ)\, signifying its global significance for policymaking\, legal harmonisation\, and sustainable housing development. This webinar seeks to amplify the knowledge embedded in this landmark report by bringing together legal scholars\, policymakers\, cooperative practitioners\, development experts\, and young scholars to discuss the findings\, implications\, and opportunities inherent in the ILRAI report\, particularly as they relate to strengthening housing cooperatives and promoting sustainable\, rights-based housing systems globally \n

SUMMARY:YSI @ 9th International Astril Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Keynesian Working Group is happy to invite early-career researchers\, PhD candidates\, and advanced Master’s students to a dynamic pre-conference event ahead of the 9th ASTRIL International Conference on “Wage Regimes\, Tariffs and Economic Growth.”\nThe pre-conference will take place at Roma Tre University\, Rome\, Italy\, on January 21st. Young scholars are highly encouraged to apply to the call for abstracts. If selected\, you will be invited to present your work. Selections will be made based on merit (partial travel stipends\, and accommodation will be available for selected participants).\nWhat are the real drivers of stable and equitable economic growth? In an era of inflationary pressures\, shifting global value chains\, and geopolitical realignments\, the classic questions of political economy are more relevant than ever. The interactions between wage-setting\, industrial policy\, and macroeconomic management are at the heart of contemporary debates on resilience\, distribution\, and development. \nThis is your chance to engage directly with the core themes of the conference in a collaborative setting. We want to foster a vibrant discussion on how institutional power\, strategic policy\, and demand management shape our economic future. Join us for a day of in-depth discussion\, constructive feedback\, and networking with the next generation of political economists. \n  \nWe are looking for contributions that critically engage with the conference’s main themes: \n????️ Wage Regimes and the Balance of Power\nHow do labour institutions shape economic outcomes? We welcome papers on wage regimes\, the resilience of collective bargaining\, the fight for real wages against inflation\, and the link between wage policies\, aggregate demand\, and productivity. How is workers’ power being reconfigured in the face of new technologies and market structures? \n???? Industrial Policy and Trade in a Fragmenting World\nWith the return of tariffs and reshoring strategies\, what makes for an effective industrial policy? We encourage analyses of sectoral targeting\, the role of the state in fostering innovation\, and the interaction between trade dynamics and domestic development. How do these strategies impact competitiveness\, social welfare\, and long-term investment? \n???? Macroeconomic for Structural Change\nHow can fiscal and monetary policy be designed to stabilize demand and promote sustainable growth? We seek contributions on the effectiveness of countercyclical policies\, the distributive consequences of public investment\, and the coordination of macroeconomic tools with industrial and wage policies. \n  \nHow to Apply: \nPlease submit your application by the 5th of December via the application button. \nYour application should include:\n– A 300 words abstract outlining your research question\, methodology\, and expected findings. \nSelected participants will be notified by the 12th of December. Limited travel grants as well as accommodation may be available. \n  \nKey Details: \nEvent: YSI Pre-Conference @ the 9th ASTRIL Conference “Wage Regimes\, Tariffs and Economic Growth”\nDate: 21st of January\nLocation: Department of Economics\, Roma Tre University \nImportant Dates:\n– Abstract submission by the 5th of December\n– Acceptance Notification by the 12th of December\n– 9th ASTRIL International Conference: January 21-23\, 2026

More than a traditional academic workshop\, WWCS provides an environment where participants can propose original ideas\, develop them into concrete projects\, and often publish results in leading journals\, reecting the depth and quality of the work produced during the event. Founded in 2014 by researchers connected through the Santa Fe Institute Summer School\, WWCS has steadily gained recognition in the complexity science community. In 2022\, it was honored with the Complex Systems Society Service Award for its lasting impact. The workshop is built around the values of collaboration\, creativity\, and inclusivity. Participants from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds contribute to a dynamic atmosphere and innovative thinking. Themes span the full spectrum of complexity science\, with content largely shaped by the participants themselves\, who propose and lead research projects aligned with their interests. The week culminates in a presentation session where teams share preliminary ndings\, often the foundation for long-term collaborations. Accessibility is also central to WWCS. By keeping registration fees low and offering nancial support\, the organizers ensure broad participation regardless of funding situation. This commitment helps sustain a vibrant community\, not only during the event but also within the growing global network of WWCS alumni. Today\, WWCS stands as a unique opportunity for early-career scientists to engage in hands-on\, interdisciplinary research while building lasting connections with peers and mentors. Participants can expect a challenging\, inspiring\, and enjoyable experience that continues to resonate long after the workshop ends.

SUMMARY:Winter School on Applied Economics for Sustainable Development (WiSED)
DESCRIPTION:Winter School on Applied Economics for Sustainable Development (WiSED):\nThe challenges of ecological transition: North-South perspective\nIMPORTANT: Application deadline: Extended to Friday\, November 10\, 2025\n  \n  \nThis initiative is jointly organized by Tuscia University (UNITUS)\, the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Acatlán (UNAM FES-A)\, and the Latin American Institute (Freie Universität). \nObjective: WiSED aims to foster critical reflection on sustainable economic development in Latin America by bridging regional schools of thought with hands-on quantitative methods. Distinguished keynote speakers will offer critical analyses—rooted in their respective intellectual traditions—of the barriers and opportunities that developing economies face in the green and energy transition. The final day of the program will be dedicated to a conference featuring research papers and presentations by the participants. \nOfficial Languages: English. \n  \nLocation: Tuscia University (UNITUS)- Viterbo\, Italy \n  \nTarget Audience: \nWiSED is aimed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students in Europe specializing in development studies\, environmental economics\, and/or energy transition. It also welcomes Latin American students based in Europe working on related topics. \nIn collaboration with the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI)\, a pre-conference session will be held to promote the participation of young scholars. Selected participants will also attend the main Winter School activities. \nWiSED will include a broader group of students and researchers\, as well as keynote speakers invited by the organizing institutions (UNITUS\, UNAM-FES Acatlán\, and the Latin American Institute at Freie Universität). The pre-conference seeks to foster exchange between YSI members and the wider academic community. \nPartial funding will be available through YSI. \nProgram Structure \n\nPart A. Morning Theoretical courses: Plenary sessions featuring leading scholars who will discuss:\n\nTheoretical and policy-oriented perspectives on green transitions\nCase studies of renewable energy adoption\, industrial policy\, and inclusive growth\n\n\nPart B. Afternoon Hands-on workshop: Intensive\, application-focused training in quantitative techniques.\n\nThe Ecological Transition from a North-South Perspective: Theoretical and Empirical Analytical Tools\nPart One – A: Theoretical Course \n\nGeneral Description: The course is designed to provide analytical tools for examining the relationship between ecological transition and economic development from the perspectives of theory\, measurement approaches\, and policy implications. This objective will be achieved by employing the frameworks of ecological macroeconomics\, new developmentalism\, and sustainable human development. These perspectives will enable a comprehensive analysis of how the ecological transition can be addressed through the study of structural change\, innovation\, social inclusion\, and the coordination of fiscal\, monetary\, industrial\, and environmental policies. Special emphasis will be placed on topics such as the Green New Deal and just transition\, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals promoted by the United Nations 2030 Agenda.\nObjective: Participants will acquire a comprehensive understanding of the principal economic and social dimensions of the ecological transition\, as well as proficiency in theoretical and empirical analytical tools essential for formulating effective policy proposals. In addition\, one of the course objectives is to foster a critical awareness of the complexity inherent in the phenomenon\, the diversity of both mainstream and heterodox approaches\, and the varying geographical perspectives between the Global North—with particular emphasis on the European Union—and the Global South\, with specific reference to Latin America\n\nPart One – B: Hands-on Workshop \n\nGeneral Description: This session will encompass the analysis of empirical research and case studies about the ecological transition\, ecological structural change and policy coordination\, as well as the construction of multidimensional indicators for sustainable human development and the formulation of macroeconomic econometric models. Participants will gain practical experience implementing these tools using R to evaluate issues related to environmental exports\, international competitiveness\, R&D expenditure\, as well as human development index.\nObjective: This session aims to equip participants with the advanced skills in the critical review and application of empirical methodologies within the context of ecological transition. Moreover\, the workshop aims to give to the participants the ability to design and implement multidimensional indicators that capture the complexity of human development in line with sustainability criteria. It wants to enhance their capacity to integrate empirical evidence and quantitative modeling in the formulation of policy recommendations and academic research\n\nEnergy transitions in Latin America\nPart One – A: Theoretical Course \n\nGeneral Description: This course examines the macroeconomic challenges of financing energy transitions in Latin American economies. Drawing on expertise in emerging market vulnerabilities and financial globalization\, Prof. Fritz analyzes how external debt dynamics\, capital flows\, and financial integration affect Latin American countries’ capacity to fund sustainable energy infrastructure. The course will explore the intersection of climate policy and macroeconomic stability\, focusing on the unique constraints and opportunities facing the region in achieving energy transition goals while managing external vulnerabilities.\nObjective: Course participants will understand the relationship between capital flows\, exchange rate pressures\, monetary policy and fiscal policy spaces\, and climate finance in emerging markets\, while evaluating policy frameworks and financing mechanisms specific to Latin America’s energy transition challenges and assessing the trade-offs between climate investments and external balance considerations in the region\n\nPart One – B: Hands-on Workshop \n\nGeneral Description: This hands-on workshop introduces participants to the analysis of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data for studying green transitions\, climate change\, and sustainable development in developing countries\, with applications focused on Latin America. The session provides foundational understanding of spatial statistical and econometric methods\, covering the intuition behind spatial data analysis and its relevance for climate and energy transition research. Participants will gain practical experience implementing these tools using R\, working with real spatial datasets to explore questions related to renewable energy deployment\, environmental impacts\, and regional development patterns in Latin American contexts.\nObjective: This workshop aims to equip participants with the theoretical foundations and practical skills needed to analyze spatial data for climate and green transition research in developing countries. Participants will develop intuition for spatial statistical and econometric methods\, learn to implement GIS data analysis techniques using R\, and apply these tools to real-world questions related to renewable energy\, environmental change\, and regional development patterns in Latin America\, thereby building capacity to incorporate spatial analysis into their own research on climate economics and sustainable development\n\n\nLatin American development: Seeds of a critical economic tradition\nPart One – A.1: Theoretical Course \n\nGeneral Description: This course offers a concise and general overview of the Latin American economy from the First Globalization to the present. The analysis is structured into four periods: from 1875 to 1945\, when a liberal economic structure based on primary exports was adopted to promote growth; from 1945 to 1982\, when the import substitution industrialization model proposed by ECLAC modified the role of the government as an active economic player; from 1982 to 2003\, when the neoliberal reforms reoriented economic policy toward a market-driven model; and from 2003 to the present\, when the Chinese economy gained prominence and transformed international trade relations. Finally\, the course concludes with a critical reflection on the social\, economic\, political and environmental challenges that the region currently faces.\nObjective: The course provides an analysis of Latin America’s economic history from 1875 to the present to understand the major transformations the region has experienced\, particularly how the economic policies implemented have shaped its growth and development.\n\nPart One – A.2: Theoretical Course \n\nGeneral Description: This short course explores the foundations\, critiques\, and contemporary relevance of Latin American structuralist thought. Through a historical and analytical approach\, it examines the structuralist critique of orthodox economics and its enduring impact on development theory. Special attention will be given to discussions on ecological macroeconomics in Latin America and the convergence between Post-Keynesian heterodoxy and structuralism as a basis for renewed agendas aimed at sustainable and inclusive development.\nObjective: his course aims to examine the main theses and critiques of Latin American structuralist thought through a historical overview of economic thinking in the region. It will explore its influence across various subdisciplines and its role as a critical alternative to orthodox economics. Finally\, the course will address contemporary research agendas that emerge from the dialogue between Latin American structuralism and heterodox schools of thought\, particularly Post-Keynesian economics\n\nPart One – B: Hands-on Workshop \n\nGeneral Description:  In this session\, students will understand the logic of dynamical systems as a set of differential equations\, gaining both theoretical insight and practical modeling skills. They will also know how to obtain numerical simulations of dynamical systems in R and be able to represent the results according to academic standards of transparency and replicability\, ensuring the clarity and reliability of their computational work.\nObjective: The main objectives of this course include developing the ability to manage a wide range of R packages specifically designed for the study of dynamical systems\, such as de Solve\, Phase R\, and FME\, enabling them to carry out robust and reproducible analyses for academic research\n\n  \nConference\nWe invite participants to present their current investigations. Main topics: \n\nFiscal sustainability and the Green Transition\nInternational Financial Architecture and Access to Green finance\nThe role of public and multilateral finance in supporting a just transition.\nTrade\, Technological Dependency\, and the Reconfiguration of Global Value Chains\nImpacts of decarbonization on export structures reliant on natural resources.\nIndustrial policy strategies for a green transformation under external constraint.\nDemand-led Growth and Ecological Transition\nJust Transition\, Employment\, and Inequality\nAssessing the potential of green sectors to absorb informal and precarious labor.\nClimate Change\, Debt\, and Macroeconomic Resilience\nEconomic vulnerability to climate disasters\nPolitical Economy of the Green Transition\nDistributional conflicts and institutional coalitions in Green Transition.\n\nOrganizing Team \nCoordinator: Julia Juarez \nUNITUS: Chiara Grazini – Giulio Guiarini \nLAI: Manuel Santos Silva \nUNAM: Alejandra Arredondo \n  \nYoung Scholar Initiative: \nManuel Valencia (Latin American Research Group);\nSantiago Graña (Economic Development Research Group) \nHelena Morais (Keynesian Research Group) \n

SUMMARY:Rethinking Capitalism and Economic Order III
DESCRIPTION:The History of Economic Thought Working Group and East Asia Working Group of the Young Scholars Initiative is launching a webinar series that brings critical attention to the idea\, practice\, and evolution of capitalism. This project aims to reconnect the history of economic ideas with the world they sought to describe\, reform\, or transform. Capitalism is not just an economic system; it is a lived experience\, a political project\, and an ideological battleground. \n  \nWe seek to open a conversation about capitalism as it has been theorised\, imagined\, and contested across historical periods and geographies. From early critiques of enclosures and slavery\, to colonial accumulation and contemporary platform economies\, capitalism’s forms have shifted\, but its underlying logics—commodification\, accumulation\, exclusion—continue to shape our worlds. \n  \nThis series will invite senior scholars who work across traditions—Marxist\, classical\, feminist\, ecological\, decolonial—to speak to these shifting realities. Our goal is not to arrive at a unified definition of capitalism\, but to stay with its plurality. What is the nature of capitalism in our time? What kind of capitalism is being debated in different contexts? What kind of resistance does it provoke? How do economic theories shape their justification or critique? \n  \nOur approach to history foregrounds tension\, silence\, and the politics of knowledge. The HET WG places special emphasis on themes like decolonisation\, pluralism\, epistemic difference\, and the often under-acknowledged intellectual contributions from the Global South. We invite our participants to think about histories of caste\, race\, gender\, and land\, alongside more familiar categories such as markets\, property\, and the state. \nKey areas of focus include: \n\nHistories of capitalism across continents: not just as diffusion from Europe\, but as co-productions and frictions and histories of capitalism have their centres spreading across the globe\, not only in the WEST but in the EAST too\, from Malacca\, Hugli\, Calicut\, Macao\, Nagasaki\, Pegu to Batavia\, to name a few.\nCapitalism’s relationship with colonialism\, racialisation\, and dispossession\nProperty regimes\, financial architectures\, and state-market entanglements\nTrade\, Tariffs and Wars\nDebates on crisis: inflation\, debt\, austerity\, climate collapse\nIntellectual genealogies: from Marx and Gandhi to Du Bois\, Luxemburg\, Fanon\, and Polanyi\nThe metabolism of capital and planetary boundaries\nThe role of economics as a discipline in naturalising or resisting capitalist logics\n\nThis series is not an attempt to replace critique with nostalgia or celebration. Instead\, we want to create a space where histories of capitalism can inform strategies for its transformation or transcendence. Theories of capitalism are not just descriptions; they are interventions. We hope to create a space where critique and imagination work in tandem. \n  \nProf. David McNally\n  \nSlavery and Capitalism: A New Marxist History\, Wednesday\, 28 January 2026\, 9.00 am EST\n  \nKarl Marx’s writings on enslavement and labor have fallen out of favor among historians\, but David McNally injects new life into them. Slavery and Capitalism gives the first systematic Marxist account of the capitalist character of Atlantic slavery—using colonial travel literature\, planter records and diaries\, and slave narratives—to support the provocative claim for enslaved labor in the plantation system as capitalist commodity production. \nWeaving together history\, political economy\, and radical abolitionism\, McNally demonstrates that plantation slaves formed a modern working class. Unlike those scholars who insist that enslaved people were too sensible to set their sights on liberty\, he highlights the self-activity of enslaved people fighting for their freedom and reframes their resistance as labor struggles over production and reproduction\, with significant implications for US and Atlantic history and for understanding the roots of racial capitalism. \nDavid McNally is the Cullen Distinguished Professor of History and Business at the University of Houston (UH) and Director of the Center for the Study of Capitalism. David came to UH after teaching political economy at York University Toronto for over thirty years. \n  \nAs a high school student\, David McNally joined the movement against the Vietnam War; on entering university\, he organized a campus chapter of the Committee to Free Angela Davis—early steps in a lifetime of activism in global justice\, anti-racist\, and socialist movements. Along the way\, he earned a Ph.D. in Social and Political Thought in 1983 and was hired as Professor of Political Science at York University\, Toronto\, before joining the Department of History at the University of Houston in 2018. \n  \nDavid is the author of seven books: Political Economy and the Rise of Capitalism (1988); Against the Market: Political Economy Market Socialism and the Marxist Critique (1993); Bodies of Meaning: Studies on Language\, Labor and Liberation (2001); Another World is Possible: Globalization and Anti-Capitalism (2002; second revised edition 2006); Global Slump: The Economics and Politics of Crisis and Resistance (2011); Monsters of the Market: Zombies\, Vampires and Global Capitalism (2011); and Blood and Money: War\, Slavery\, Finance\, and Empire (2019). His articles have appeared in many journals\, including Historical Materialism\, Studies in Political Economy\, Capital and Class\, History of Political Thought\, New Politics\, and Review of Radical Political Economics. His next major project involves a study of capitalism and slavery. \n  \nDavid has won a number of awards\, including the Paul Sweezy Award from the American Sociological Association for his book\, Global Slump\, and the Deutscher Memorial Award for Monsters of the Market. David’s research interests include the history and political economy of capitalism; social reproduction theory and socialist-feminism; slavery\, capitalism and anti-racism; the political economy of money and late capitalism; classical and Marxian political economy; the theory and practice of democracy; Hegel and dialectical social theory; and the history of abolitionism and anti-capitalist movements. \n  \nDavid has a long history of active support for a number of organizations including the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty\, Faculty for Palestine\, Toronto New Socialists\, and the Campus Antifascist Network. He is now developing solidarity connections with social movements in Houston. David is also on the Advisory Editorial Board for Historical Materialism: A Journal of Critical Marxist Research. A lengthy interview with David about his intellectual and political biography has been published in Socialist Studies\, available here. \n  \n‍David McNally lives with his partner and their youngest son in Houston\, where he continues to indulge his love of jazz\, baseball\, and surrealism. \n  \nRelated Sessions\nS01: The Law of Capitalism and How to Transform It with Prof. Barbara Harriss-White\nS02: A Different Approach to Informality with Prof. Barbara Harriss-White

SUMMARY:Beyond Financial Hegemony:  China’s Quest for Domestic Autonomy\,  Creation of Global Dependencies?
DESCRIPTION:China’s expanding global footprint and perceived influence raises questions about its strategic ambitions and the practices and mechanisms through which it reshapes the global financial and economic order. We are moving away from a unipolar\, hegemonic moment towards a new constellation that could be characterized as inter-imperial competition. Beyond U.S. hegemony \, we are increasingly observing the formation of multiple centres of power\, each with its own zone of influence\, as well as growing geopolitical tensions between them. In response to growing geopolitical and economic pressures\, particularly Western efforts to contain the rise of China\, a diverse set of actors from China has sought to enhance autonomy from incumbent powers. Autonomy\, defined as the ability to make independent decisions without relying on external forces\, has been central to the party-state’s strategy since the 2010s. However\, this very effort has also deepened global dependencies on its economy\, finance or technology\, especially among states\, companies\, and platforms. We invite scholars to examine how Chinese political and economic actors navigate this complex relationship between autonomy and dependence amidst a changing global financial and economic order.

SUMMARY:Money and Finance Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:This reading group has been created to amplify and deep our knowledge on money and finance from a wide perspective that can embrace the complexity of money’s nature\, thus\, the complexity of the financial system and its dynamics.
