From Austerity to Resilience - How to Build a Better Economy | Workshop by Modern Money Lab

​Modern Money Lab Europe are a newly formed Independent Association registered in France in february 2026. Our aim is to advance public knowledge and democratic debate on modern monetary and fiscal theory and policy within the European context. 

We are using this summer as a launchpad for our organisation. This includes us hosting several workshops in Europe, namely Stockholm and Brussels.

This workshop (conducted in English) will be a combination of presentations led by Steven hail, associate professor at Torrens University, as well as participatory group discussions and real-world case studies.

​The key themes of the day will be finding the money for progressive policy goals, and how to manage potential inflationary side effects that may arise from ambitious fiscal policy.

Four sessions. One coherent argument for change:

Part 1: MMT as a Policy Frame

Part 2: Public Investment and the Cost of Living Crisis

Part 3: Taming the Bond Market

Part 4: Framing a Shift from Austerity to Sufficiency with Gabrielle Bond, climate activist and CEO of Modern Money Lab.

​(Optional) Afternoon / evening social

The workshop will be conducted in English.
