David ‘Danny’ Blanchflower is the Bruce V. Rainer Professor of Economics and was a member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England from 2006-2009.  He is also a Bloomberg TV Contributing Editor.  He started voting for rate cuts on the MPC from October 2007 and continued to do so at every meeting in a minority of one arguing a major financial crisis was coming.  The other members of the committee joined him in October 2008! He thinks central banks are making the same errors.
 
Last Wednesday, Catherine Mann (Monetary Policy Committee, Bank of England) gave a PEP talk on monetary policy today; Prof. Blanchflower will offer a different view. 
 
This event is free and open to the public, and accessible by Zoom Webinar here. Sponsored by the Political Economy Project.
