CSEP is excited to announce the first event of the 2022-2023 academic year: a talk by Professor Randall Wray on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and how this model locates itself within the current inflationary climate. The event will be composed of a 45-minute talk followed by a further 45-minute Q&A session. We look forward to hearing Professor Wray's fascinating insights on the growing theoretical framework of MMT, particularly at a time when the model is increasingly criticised by those pointing to inflation.
Professor Wray is the 2022-2023 Teppola Distinguished Visiting Professor at Willamette University and has previously taught at Bard College, the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and the University of Denver. He is one of the developers of Modern Money Theory and his most recent books are Why Minsky Matters (Princeton, 2016), A Great Leap Forward (Elsevier, January 2020), and Handbook of Economic Stagnation (Elsevier, 2022 with Flavia Dantas). Wray has been a visiting professor at the Universities of Paris, Bologna, Bergamo, Rome, UNAM in Mexico City, UNICAMP in Brazil, and Tallinn University in Estonia. He is the 2022 Veblen-Commons Award winner for lifetime contributions to Institutionalist Thought.
