"The economy is supposed to serve the people, not the people the economy"
Nobel Laureate, former World Bank Chief Economist, and best-selling author Professor Joseph E. Stiglitz is visiting Australia in July 2022 to discuss the need to expand the role of governments, unions, and civil society.
The tour, hosted by the Australia Institute, will see Professor Stiglitz speak at a wide range of events for the general public, policymakers, unions, civil society, investors and philanthropists.
“Professor Joseph Stiglitz is not only one of the world’s leading intellectuals and policy advisers, he has a unique ability to translate complex economic issues into language that both engages and informs, something essential for our democracy to flourish,” said Ben Oquist, executive director of the Australia Institute.
“The Australia Institute is delighted to host such a guest at such an important time in Australia’s economic policy debates. The essential and expanding role for government in driving economic prosperity is too little discussed. We hope this tour can help address that deficit.”
