  • Conversations on the Green - Pandemic Economics: Charting the Recovery

    Three titans of American economic thought join Jane Whitney in Conversations On the Green’s sixth forum of the season. Two Nobel laureates in economics, Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman, are joined by Danny Meyer, a respected businessman and restauranteur.

    This is the first time these three giants have ever debated. They will discuss how to repair the economy amidst the worst economic crisis in almost a century and the once-in-a-generation shift now underway in economic thinking. They also will examine how to exploit the ongoing calamity and contain the jaw-dropping risks in an effort to launch an era of prosperity like those that followed the Great Depression and World War II.

  • Conversations on the Green: Prescient Predictions- Who Won 2020!

    Don’t wait until November to find out who won the 2020 presidential campaign! Or if Republicans maintained their Senate majority. Or what happened in the House. MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki will tune up his big board with other nationally recognized prognosticators to explain the election’s dominant forces and how they will determine the outcome. The panel, also including Rachel Bitecofer and David Axelrod, will explain how the major campaigns are assembling their coalitions, which states are key and what voting groups will tip the outcome. But be forewarned: the show carries a spoiler alert.
