"Energy, Entropy and the New Deal” ([link removed])
with Dr. James K. Galbraith and Dr. Richard Walker

Key to understanding the New Deal is understanding the critical role of resources: the rise of oil and hydro and eventually, nuclear power and the decline of coal, railroads and the center cities—all of which were integral to the Depression and then to the New Deal's reconstruction of America—electrification, paved roads, bridges and tunnels; airfields, trains, ships, and aircraft carriers.

Dr. James K. Galbraith is a professor of Government at the University of Texas, Austin, where he currently heads the Texas Inequality Project. He previously served as the Executive Director of the Congressional Join Economic Committee and of House Banking Committee. Dr. Galbraith’s books include Inequality: What Everyone Needs to Know (2016); The End of Normal: The Great Crisis and the Future of Growth (2014); Inequality and Instability: A Study of the World Economy Just Before the Great Crisis (2012). His newest book is Entropy Economics, The Living Basis of Value and Production, co-authored with Jing Chen, (University of Chicago Press).

Richard Walker is Professor Emeritus of Geography at UC Berkeley, where he taught economic and urban geography for almost 40 years. He is author of scores of articles and several books on geography and California. His most recent is Pictures of a Gone City: Tech and the Dark Side of Prosperity in the San Francisco Bay Area (2018). Walker's awards include Fulbright and Guggenheim Fellowships. He is currently executive director of the Living New Deal project. FREE. REGISTER ([link removed])
