Modern Money, Courts, and Civil Rights–Against Legal Predation
Sep 22, 2017
Overview
This panel explores the interplay between the cycle of crisis, austerity, privatization, and the concomitant loss of rights for the public. How do macroeconomic policy failures proliferate specific debtor-creditor relationships? What are the legal and social consequences of increasing taxes, interest rates, and civil and criminal penalties rather than spending public money for public purpose?
