Overview
In keeping with their missions to encourage robust discussion, Boston Review and American Affairs together hosted a one-day meeting that brought people from various ideological backgrounds to explore common points of interest, specifically with regard to moving beyond neoliberal economic paradigms. The meeting, off-the-record and convened in Washington, D.C., was a unique opportunity to get people from different political backgrounds together to discuss three issues of common concern: concentrated economic power and its effect on labor, financialization, and trade. The goal in putting voices from across the ideological spectrum into direct conversation with each other was to identify shared concerns as well as potential solutions. Boston Review and American Affairs consistently deliver thoughtful and ambitious work on these economic issues and, more broadly, on the fundamentals of a democratic society.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
American Affairs is a journal of political thought and policy, published quarterly in print and online editions. In its publishing and event programming, American Affairs brings together respected contributors from the right, left, and center to address immediate policy problems and perennial theoretical questions, with an emphasis on exploring alternatives to neoliberal policy paradigms.
for a convening and publication on industrial policy
In keeping with their missions to encourage robust discussion, Boston Review and American Affairs will jointly convene a meeting that brings together social scientists from various ideological backgrounds to explore emerging ideas about rekindling industrial policy (IP) and will copublish, in print and online, the best ideas from that collaboration. Participants will explore five fundamental questions: (a) what is IP; (b) what is the theoretical case in favor (and against); (c) what is the history; (d) why might a revival of IP be needed now; and (e) what are promising directions for U.S. industrial policy. This convening follows a Hewlett-supported 2019 collaboration between Boston Review and American Affairs, which brought together a wide range of participants to discuss ways of moving beyond neoliberal, market-fundamentalist economic paradigms.
