The Birth of a New Economy in the Aftermath of Crisis

The Institute for New Economic Thinking is especially pleased to announce the publication of a terrific new book by Board Member Anatole Kaletsky that explains the recent global crisis in sweeping historical context, and points out the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity now opening up to economists - particularly the younger generation. Capitalism 4.0: The Birth of a New Economy in the Aftermath of Crisis encapsulates many of the themes and preoccupations that INET expects to engage in the years ahead. It is a great read for those who want to understand what is really going on around them and get a sense of what this Institute is about.

The videos below feature Executive Director Rob Johnson interviewing Kaletsky about the book and its relevance to the Institute. You can get the short overview, the more in-depth interview and a piece aimed right at young up-and-coming economists. Check them out.

Anatole Kaletsky is editor-at-large of The Times of London, where he writes a column on politics, economics, and international relations. Kaletsky was a full-time journalist for The Times, Financial Times, and The Economist from 1976 until 1998 when he expanded his activities to include economic forecasting and financial consulting.
