Συνέδριο με θέμα τις αρνητικές επιπτώσεις της λιτότητας στην Ευρωζώνη, και κυρίως στην Ελλάδα, διοργανώνει το διεθνούς κύρους ινστιτούτο Levy Economics Institute του Bard College της Νέας Υόρκης, στις 8 και 9 Νοεμβρίου, στην Αθήνα.
To Levy Institute ασκεί κριτική στο μοντέλο της λιτότητας που εφαρμόζεται στην ευρωζώνη και προτείνει εναλλακτικό σχέδιο για την Ελλάδα, το οποίο επικεντρώνεται στην ενίσχυση της αναπτυξιακής διαδικασίας και τη δημιουργία απασχόλησης.
Σχετικά στοιχεία θα παρουσιαστούν στο συνέδριο της Αθήνας, που θα πραγματοποιηθεί στο Μέγαρο Διεθνές Συνεδριακό Κέντρο Αθηνών (Βασ. Σοφίας & Κόκκαλη). Το θέμα του συνεδρίου έχει τίτλο: «Η Κρίση στην Ευρωζώνη και την Ελλάδα και η Εμπειρία με τις Πολιτικές Λιτότητας».
Κορυφαίοι οικονομολόγοι, αλλά και παράγοντες της διεθνούς τραπεζικής και επενδυτικής αγοράς από την Ευρώπη και τις ΗΠΑ θα συμμετάσχουν ως ομιλητές.
