Meet Tandem, the Team Responsible for Creating the Visual Identity and Communications Collateral for the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Congressional Campaign in New York’s 14th District

Scott Starrett, Principal and co-founder of Tandem, will share the process behind the concept and deployment of the Ocasio brand, including the studio’s friendship with Alexandria and how time and understanding led Tandem to a better outcome. After the event, you are invited to join us for a Q&A with Scott Starrett, Maria Arenas and Shaun Gillen of Tandem. About Tandem Tandem is a small but mighty communication design studio forged on the principle that the same persuasive techniques used in marketing and advertising should be used to advance the greater good. Our clients work with us because we care, and we do our best work when they care too.

Lance Taylor, Emeritus Professor of Economics at The New School for Social Research and the former Arnhold Professor of International Cooperation and Development, will present SCEPA’s annual Heilbroner Memorial Lecture and discuss “A Great Deformation: Sectoral Stagnation, Flat Productivity, and Lagging Wages.”

The distributions of income and wealth in America have become more unequal over the past 40 years. The standard Solow growth model, the “double movement” against pure laissez-faire envisaged by Karl Polanyi, and the shifts in the structure of production proposed by Arthur Lewis are all running in reverse. Given the underlying causes and dynamics, turning these trends around could require decades.

The Robert Heilbroner Memorial Lecture on the Future of Capitalism:

In 1963, Robert Heilbroner earned a Ph.D. in Economics from The New School for Social Research, where he was subsequently appointed Norman Thomas Professor of Economics in 1971. He taught at The New School for the next 20 years. Each year, SCEPA hosts a lecture by a distinguished scholar on long-term economic trends to honor Heilbroner’s life work.

This annual lecture is used to gain a greater understanding of questions of economic justice and how the profit-seeking activities of private firms might also serve broader social goals. To use his words, “capitalism’s uniqueness in history lies in its continuously self-generated change, but it is this very dynamism that is the system’s chief enemy.”

Presented by the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis at The New School.
