Today at 1:00-2: 30 p.m. ET, the Economic Policy Institute and the Century Foundation invite you to a discussion with Jeff Madrick, Century Foundation senior fellow and regular contributor to The New York Review of Books, on his new book, Seven Bad Ideas: How Mainstream Economists Have Damaged America and the World. Madrick will discuss his findings with Brad DeLong, Professor of Economics at UC Berkeley, and Josh Bivens, EPI Research and Policy Director. Ylan Mui, reporter at The Washington Post, will moderate.

In Seven Bad Ideas: How Mainstream Economists Have Damaged America and the World, Madrick takes aim at disciples of free market fundamentalism who adhere to models and theories that are discredited by real world results. The discussion on the book’s findings promises to be an important conversation about how bad economic theory has led to devastating consequences for most Americans.
