Book

Human-Centred Economics: The Living Standards of Nations

Palgrave Macmillan, ILO

This book examines the chronic underperformance of economies with respect to inclusion, sustainability and human and systemic resilience. It proposes a reformulation of macroeconomic theory and policy to explicitly internalize the role of policies and institutions that enable them. Correcting the imbalance of emphasis in modern economic theory and policy between markets and institutions, production and distribution, and national income and household living standards is the single most important step required to transcend 20th century trickle-down “neoliberalism” and replace it with a more human-centred model of economic progress in the 21st century.

Chapter

Human-Centred International Economic Policy: Institutionalizing Inclusion, Sustainability and Resilience in International Economic Governance and Cooperation (Chapter 6)

Palgrave Macmillan, Intl Labour Organization (ILO)

This book chapter presents a Bretton-Woods-like set of deep reforms of the international economic architecture, adapting the IMF, multilateral development banks, and WTO and other trade-related institutions to the challenges of the 21st century based on a post-neoliberal "Roosevelt Consensus" model of growth and development.

Paper

Transitioning to a New U.S. International Economic Policy: Toward a ‘Global Deal’ to Revive and Broaden the Benefits of Growth

Center for American Progress (CAP), IDS

Instead of expending scarce political capital on economically marginal free trade agreements, the new administration should focus on retooling and realigning the full spectrum of international aid, trade, and monetary policies so that they collectively serve to strengthen aggregate demand worldwide by building a larger, more prosperous global and US middle class.
