Lunch was just interrupted Bill Janeway standing up to announce that this morning he decided to give $25m to INET and the board will fund-raise this up to $100m over ten years, but then George Soros added $50m in unconditional funding for INET.
Not sure what more to say. Two days of talks about how Austerity doesn’t work, and then this. INET staff, if you’re reading, consider this the first grant application: The future of New Economic Thinking in Historical Perspective! Oh yeah, of course they finished by playing “the best things in life are free” and are now introducing Amartya Sen. Unreal.
