This is the opening event of a series of events which focuses on the need for “People’s Planning”, the need for democratic economic planning in Europe.

The aim of this first event will be to explain the background to the current debate on a planned economy: where are we coming from? What are the pitfalls of the past and present debate? What does the left have to consider if we want to establish a real counter-concept to the so-called free market?

For the first event next Wednesday 28 February 2024, we have invited Heinz Bierbaum and Claire Lejeune as speakers.

After the inputs we will have time for a joint discussion.

The discussion will be in English. We apologize for not being able to offer interpretation.

The zoom link is: Launch Meeting - Zoom

We start at 7pm Paris/Berlin time (CET) on Wednesday 28th February.

Best wishes and we hope to see you next week at our event!
