Summary:
My friend Dr. Sabri Oncu has established an innovative seminar program at Kadir Has University in Turkey. Called the "Kadir Has Lectures on Global Political Economy", it has had lectures from a number of non-mainstream economists, including Ann Pettifor, Frances Coppola, Yanis Varoufakis, and Jan Kregel. Forthcoming lecturers include Louis Philippe Rochon and Matias Vernengo.

I also explain how we could remedy the economy via a "Modern Debt Jubilee".
