A gist of each proposed or attempted solution to the “great recession” will be given including QE I, QE II and QE III. Attendees will rank the proposed remedies on a scale of 1 to 10 based on 8 criteria.
Political Economy Book Club discusses Uncle Tom’s Cabin, “the book that inspired the abolitionist movement.” It may have been based on the real-life slave Josiah Henson, who escaped slavery and started the community Dawn in Canada which became a destination of many slaves on the underground railroad.
