Overview
The Berlin Platform for a New Economic Paradigm aims to challenge the dominant narrative of how economies work and to develop a new policy framework for addressing waning economic dynamism, rising inequality, financial instability, and climate change. For 40 years, policy has been driven by an exaggerated faith in the efficiency and fairness of markets. Too often, policymakers have ignored historical lessons and contemporary evidence of the role government plays in bringing about favorable economic results and in preventing powerful interests from gaming the system. This has contributed to increasingly unbalanced economic outcomes, disaffection with politics, and rising populism. The grant will enable the platform to conduct a program of research on Germany
