Who else with Doctorow in the main debate?

This is a full wiki. Edit at will.

We have our SF author in the main debate, but we also need to find the other relevant people. I see two: an economist and a moderator, hopefully from the climate scene. They need to be based in Europe. At least one of them should be a woman.

Economists:

  • Mariana Mazzucato. Absolutely perfect, but difficult to reach (if not through Climate-KIC) and likely expensive.

  • Stephanie Kelton. A MMT proponent, talks a lot about budget deficits. Not quite as radical as I would like. Also, mostly based in America, visiting professor in Australia…

  • César Hidalgo. Great charismatic speaker, complexity economist, recently moved to Europe (Toulouse). Contact info on his website is out of date. Probably expensive.

  • Eve Mitleton-Kelly. Head of the complexity group at LSE. Former civil servant.

  • Andrea Westall. Interesting profile, recommended by Fabrizio Barca, not an academic.

  • Ha-Joon Chang. Development economist, with policy experience and an interest for history. Likes science fiction. Seems like a strong candidate.

  • Ottmar Edenhofer. Environmental economist with senior policy experience. Focus on the impact of technical change on costs/benefits of environmental policies.

  • Frank Biermann. Environmental economist, focused on governance.

  • Will Davies. Political economist with particular interests in neoliberalism, history of economics and economic sociology.

  • Paola Casavola. Economist, territorial politics expert.

Moderators:

  • Kirsten Dunlop, CEO of C-KIC.

  • Irene Tinagli. Regional economist, MEP, now chair of the ECON Commission at the European Parliament. I would invite her anyway, actually, since she can fill both roles. In general, this could be a way to involve the European parliament, Who is your favorite hip MEP?

Others?

Ping @irene_1 @martin @ilaria @augusto @nadia @GrahamCaswell

Maybe @J_Noga has some suggestions?

It is a very long shot, for a person that could take the role of the ‚economist‘: Otmar Edenhofer or Frank Biermann. I have met both, but I guess they do not know/recall me. I have know idea whether they are SF-affin, but i) likely interested in ‚out of the box thinking‘ and ii) may willing to pint ot members of their Teams / networks. – regards, Martin

Perhaps Kate Raworth might be worth asking?

Hmm… not a fan. Too much hype, not enough… dough. :smiley:

hi @rmchase: got suggestions?

Hmmm…Maybe Nick Srnicek? Lecturer in Digital Economy at King’s College. Focus on political economy of tech (platforms, AI). Don’t know him personally.

hey, know someone who might? E.G if you check linkedin :slight_smile:

He will be at the Digital Capitalism Conference in Berlin, 29-30 October. I’ll be there as well, and know the organisers. I could check with them, ask if they could introduce me? Let me know.
