Spend Money to Make Money: Mark Blyth on the Dangers of Austerity

In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, countries around the world have moved to slash government spending and reduce national debt. Dr. Mark Blyth, professor of International Political Economy at Brown University, argues that this is exactly the wrong way to approach the problem of slow economic growth. Dr. Blyth is in town to speak at Colorado College, and he sat down with The Big Something’s Noel Black to discuss his latest book, “Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea”.

He’ll be speaking tonight at 7pm in Gaylord hall, at the Worner Center on the Colorado College Campus. For more information, click HERE.
