Sanford M. Jacoby, Professor of Management, Public Policy, & History, UCLA

Join us for the fifth annual Robert Heilbroner Memorial Lecture. 
Heilbroner wrote, "Capitalism's uniqueness in history lies in its 
continuously self-generated change, but it is this very dynamism that is 
the systems chief enemy." It is in appreciation of what he identified as 
the deep human need to be situated with respect to the future that The 
New School sponsors a lecture series in Heilbroners memory that focuses 
on capitalism's future. This year we will host Sanford Jacoby, Howard 
Noble Professor of Management at UCLA Anderson School of Management. 
His address is Finance and Labor: Perspectives on Risk, Inequality, and 
Democracy which refers to Polyanis notion of a double movement and the 
link between financial development and rising income inequality and 
employment risk. Professor Jacoby is an historian and economist.

*The talk will be followed by a panel discussion.  Panelists are:

Charles Jeszeck, Government Accountability Office
Mark Levinson, Chief Economist and Director of Policy, Unite-Here
Peter Rappoport, JPMorgan, Research Analyst
