SUMMARY:The Economics of What's Possible: An Evening with Stephanie Kelton
LOCATION:Vancouver Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nWhat if the stories we tell about money shape
  not just our economy\, but our collective sense of what's possible?\nInte
 rnationally renowned economist Dr. Stephanie Kelton has reshaped public co
 nversations about government spending\, deficits\, and economic policy —
  through her bestselling book The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and
  the Birth of the People's Economy\, the documentary Finding the Money\, a
 nd her groundbreaking work on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT).\nIn this intim
 ate\, fireside-style conversation\, Dr. Kelton unpacks the stories we tell
  about money\, debt\, scarcity\, and government budgets — and how those 
 stories quietly shape the choices we make as a society. She'll explore mon
 ey as both myth and tool\, challenge conventional wisdom about what we can
  and can't afford\, and consider how our economic choices define the kind 
 of society we build.\nThe conversation moves beyond economics itself\, ask
 ing: How do the assumptions built into our economic systems shape our soci
 al priorities and collective decision-making? And what becomes possible wh
 en we start seeing our resources and choices differently?\nThe evening inc
 ludes a moderated audience Q&A — your chance to bring your own questions
  into the conversation with Dr. Kelton. There will be light refreshments a
 nd a cash bar available upon arrival before the event.\nThis Bruce & Lis W
 elch Community Dialogue is co-presented by SFU Public Square and SFU M
 orris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue. It is the third offering of When the
  Map is Useless: Conversations for a World in Transition\, a multi-year se
 ries that convenes SFU and the broader community to strengthen public sens
 e-making and civic discourse during a time of profound social\, political\
 , and ecological change. This initiative is supported in part by the Nort
 h Family Foundation.\nPlease note: this event page is for in-person ticke
