INDEP online Talk – Rethinking Expertise in Democratic Economic Planning – with Ellen D. Russell and Simon Tremblay-Pepin

One of the main goals of postcapitalist democratic economic planning (DEP) is to thoroughly democratize economic decision making. Yet, the technical nature of economic expertise intended to advocate for and support DEP could inadvertently lead to the rise of a new elite with outsized influence on economic decisions. Ellen D. Russell and Simon Tremblay-Pepin will discuss this problematic and possible counter-measures like capacities in institutional and subjective oversight. They will also go into why this might not be sufficient to avoid antidemocratic possibilities and propose reconsidering economic expertise as a way to alleviate this tension.

The event will be based on a recently published paper by Ellen and Simon.

This event will be in English.
