Rethinking Economic Policy for Social Justice:
The Radical Potential of Human Rights

With an introduction by International Department Director Cathy Feingold.

Please join author Radhika Balakrishnan for this special book event.

The dominant approach to economic policy has so far failed to adequately address the pressing challenges the world faces today—extreme poverty, widespread joblessness and precarious employment, burgeoning inequality, and large-scale environmental threats. This message was brought home forcibly by the 2008 global economic crisis. This new book shows how human rights have the potential to transform economic thinking and policymaking with far-reaching consequences for social justice.

Book order forms will be available at the event.
