this world tour was updated for ineteconomics summer school at unctad in geneva zoomed between 8/152020 and 8/23/2020 -related summer school 2019

we blerd 2 parts - questions on experience to date of a place's valuation of youth - these are interpersonal /exploratory/seeking to map from multiple viewpoints diaspora scots have encountered from work in over 100 countries-   if you wish to interact them with norman macrae family foundation please chat with chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk who can also offer you readings from 1943 taken from our family's diary and journalism eg that of norman macrae at the economist- new questions going forward- obviously the student and teacher year 20-21 is the hardest in living memory duvid and other crises elders politics have reached

1 switzerland - i have been to unctad geneva twice in last 3 years-with much nimbler vienna now ban ki-moon alumni hub, geneva is the world forum for trade and health negotiations, unctad's value chain maps including its appointment of jack ma as tech youth world connector, where billionnaires who own telecoms meet itu, world economic forums, nuclear arms ; i also see that the biggest global sports value chains eg olympics, fifa are led out of switzerland, hi net income banking as well as rules of global pharma and global banking- there is also nestle's impact on value chains of eg coffee, chocolate, milk- what else? unctad speakers : richard kozul-wright

2 new york - the hq of un and  ysl, the linkages between soros global board of open society, his networks of economic experts, his 30+ OSUN youth college coalition as well as his own investment fund
2a africa's hq of un is kenya unhabitat and a satellite at addis abba now thats african union main hub
2b i have always been confused why thailand is where un chooses to represent the two thirds of our species who are asian

3 oxbridge - see sunday first oxbridge speaker is from my alma mate cambridge not my wife's oxford- oxford is on a roll as a leader in [vaccines ]https://tourbuilder.withgoogle.com/builder#play/ahJzfmd3ZWItdG91cmJ1aWxkZXJyEQsSBFRvdXIYgIDgzKrRrwkM)and ethics mediator of china's tsinghua and us'mit in humaniSIng ai- aka schwarzman global scHolars

4 south africa - i am very confused where alumni of mandela linkin- perhaps fiona tregeena can shed light i used to know the connector of mandela, branson elders and the new university and mandela extranet taddy blecher but it seems that older politics has once again dominated as well as the fact that south africa isnt on world trade routes the way it was until the suez canal; meanwhile its got the blessing and curse of its huge mines of gold and diamonds- i wonder what gandhi would have thought of his 15 years of trying to triangularise a post colonial world mediating mumbai, durban and london-

india- my maternal grandfather as mumbai's chief justice mediated with gandhi over 2 decades- sir ken's last project ordered by london was writing up
legalese of independence of india subcontinent - how is india doing in ending poverty and mediating faiths- can jayati ghosh nehru uni tell us? the last time i went to india 2004- indira gandhi culture centre close to parliament was hosting 1000 gandhians discussing global reconciliation- there were a lot of ideas to write up but the next week the tsunami fit so that never happened 

india- my maternal grandfather sir kenneth kemp as mumbai's chief justice mediated with gandhi over 2 decades- sir ken's last project ordered by london was writing u[ legalese of independence of india subcontinent 


i will try and update this world tour , WELCOME ANY CORRECTIONS,

Program of Events
Note: The time schedule is expressed in Central European Summer Time (CEST)
Saturday 15
2 – 2:30 pm Introduction - Young Scholars Initiative (Link to Attend)
Description: The session is specifically curated for the participants of the Summer School to introduce them to the Young Scholars of the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET-YSI) and the UNCTAD Summer School 2020. During the session, we will briefly touch upon the structure of the Summer School and the technical modalities of the online platform. We will also present the details of the mentorship program and the blogpost writing competition. We will also use this session to address any other general or technical queries that the participants might have. Finally, we will also discuss ways in which the participants can be involved with the activities of INET-YSI beyond the Summer School.
Sunday 16
1 pm Welcome, Presentation of the School and Opening Keynote: “Why Do We Need to Transform Economics and How Do We Do It?” (Link to Attend)
Richard Kozul-Wright (UNCTAD)
Keynote Address: Jayati Ghosh (Jawaharlal Nehru University)
Debunking Myths Session: Myths About International Trade and Competitiveness (Link to Attend)
Moderator: Richard Kozul-Wright (UNCTAD)
2.30 pm Ha-Joon Chang (University of Cambridge)
3.45 pm Fiona Tregenna (University of Johannesburg)
Description: International trade theory has a vaunted place in the economics canon and its abiding notion of comparative advantage lies behind the one-size-fits all policy advice to liberalize as the assured way for countries to integrate beneficially into the global economy. In reality, international trade relations have always been structured around asymmetric patterns of dominance, economies of scale and technological learning and successful economies
have rarely embraced a simple policy of rapid tariff reductions. This opening session will provide an introduction to the debates around international trade and its place in today hyperglobalised world economy.
Monday 17
Debunking Myths Session: Myths About Monetary Policy, Inflation Targeting and Central Bank Independence (Link to Attend)
Moderator: Nurlan Jahangirli (University of Hamburg, YSI)
2 pm Mary O’Sullivan (University of Geneva)
3.30 pm Matias Vernengo (Bucknell University)
Description: Much of the pro-growth policy effort deployed in the past 10 years relied on the action of the central banks. The possible continuation of this framework in the Covid-19 crisis calls once again into question the actual capacity of conventional and unconventional monetary policy to trigger and reinforce a recovery, the fitness of the international monetary architecture to guarantee stability and, more broadly, the political role – both nationally and internationally – of central banks.
Tuesday 18
2 pm Thematic Symposium: What Green New Deal Can We (Not Not) Afford? (Link to Attend)
Moderator: Diana Vivienne Barrowclough (UNCTAD)
Richard Kozul-Wright (UNCTAD)
Juan Carlos Moreno Brid (National Autonomous University of Mexico-UNAM)
Juliet Schor (Boston College)
Description: The pandemic demanded a high human death toll, and it challenged the organization of our economies and lifestyles. But another looming disaster menaces our very own survival: the climate crisis. What can we and must we do about it? Is there a conflict between green economy, and development and full employment policies? What are the current challenges across the world? What is politically feasible?
Wednesday 19
Debunking Myths Session: Myths About Fiscal Policy and Structural Reforms (Link to Attend)
Moderator: Orsola Costantini (UNCTAD)
2 pm Nelson Barbosa (Sao Paulo School of Economics)
3.30 pm Jan Kregel (Levy Economics Institute of Bard College)
Description: Committing to do “whatever it takes” amounted to admitting that anything is possible. In front of evidence of past failure, is it still possible for policymakers to justify fiscal austerity and the compression of the living standards of the largest share of the population? What are the main relevant economic concepts at play and what are the practical challenges in designing a fiscal policy?
Thursday 20
2 pm Thematic Symposium: The Growth of China (Link to Attend)
Moderator: Yuefen Li (South Centre)
Kevin Gallagher (Boston University)
Arkebe Oqubay (Government of Ethiopia)
Justin Yifu Lin (Peking University)
Description: China has emerged as a global political and economic power, but just how strong is its model and what will its implications be in the post -pandemic?
Friday 21
2 pm Thematic Symposium: Discrimination and Intersectionality: Exposing the Blind Spots of Conventional Economics and Policy-Making (Link to Attend)
Moderator: Surbhi Kesar (Azim Premji University, YSI)
Elissa Braunstein (Colorado State University)
Naila Kabeer (London School of Economics)
Rhonda V. Sharpe (Women’s Institute for Science, Equity, and Race)
Description: Very few economists would argue that discrimination should persist. But the interpretation of the nature of the problems is just as divisive as the suggestion of appropriate policies.
Saturday 22
2 pm Thematic Symposium: The Future of Work, the Future of Welfare (Link to Attend)
Moderator: Piergiuseppe Fortunato (UNCTAD)
Deborah James (Center for Economic and Policy Research CEPR)
Ipek Ilkkaracan (Istanbul Technical University- ITU)
Guy Standing (SOAS University of London)
Description: Experts have been denouncing the dualism and inequality in the labor market both in the developed and in the developing countries. The current crisis has both intensified and transformed those tensions. How does the future of labor look like, and how can governments respond and adapt welfare institutions? What choices are they likely to make?
Sunday 23
2 pm Concluding Debate: Neoliberalism is Dead. Long Live…What? (Link to Attend)
Moderator: Grace Blakeley (International Progressive Policy Review-IPPR)
Jayati Ghosh (Jawaharlal Nehru University)
Gerald Epstein (University of Massachusetts, Amherst-UMass)
Surbhi Kesar (Azim Premji University, YSI)
Rob Davies (Ex-Minister, Trade and Industry, South Africa)
Quinn Slobodian (Wellesley College)
Description: The effort deployed by governments during and after the lockdown led observers to claim that globalization and the Neoliberal order, already shaky, have finally given way to a new state-driven nationalist model. While hopes for a new more equitable global system remain open, the dollar has proven to remain soundly at the top of the international monetary hierarchy. Similarly, the power of big financialized corporations does not seem to diminish, nor previous geopolitical tensions around the world have disappeared.
