The Economic Development Debate

August 8+ 11, 6-8pm ET

Marjan Fadavi Ardekani

With a conceptual focus on the notion of "development" along with a survey of its historical evolution and political implication, we would discuss the economic, political, environmental, and philosophical relevance of the topic to our world today. Unprecedented levels of inequality worldwide, in both the "developed" and "developing" world, have shifted the borders of the relevance of the arguments of "development economics" from international to intranational.
