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.
