The Economic Democracy Initiative Research-to-Action series brings scholars, policy makers, and activists into conversation with students to discuss pathways for meaningful social change. Lukas Lehner, of the Institute for New Economic Thinking at Oxford Martin School, will present the results from a study that evaluates a one-of a-kind job creation program in Marienthal, Austria. The pilot aims to eliminate long-term unemployment in the municipality and improve participants’ economic and social situation. The program was recently discussed in the New Yorker.
