The financial and economic crisis has significantly contributed to the deterioration of the fiscal condition of almost every G20 nation since the onset of the crisis. It is therefore time to discuss new priorities for public finance in the industrialized countries. The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung hosted a selected group of international experts and policy makers to explore links between alternative economic models and new priorities for a progressive public finance policy. As part of the conference, which runs from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., CEPR Co-Director Dean Baker took part in a panel discussion titled "Taxation and Fiscal Policy: Public Money for Public Goods? How to Strengthen the State."
