Bio

In my work, I apply knowledge, insights, and perspectives from political science, macroeconomics (using a Modern Money Theory approach), knowledge management, organizational learning, collective intelligence, and quality management. But, at least for the present and immediate future, new content appearing here will mainly focus on economic and political issues.

I’m the Managing Director, CEO of the Knowledge Management Consortium International (KMCI), a research and training organization. In addition, I’m a Senior Fellow at Correntewire, and, also a featured blogger at New Economic Perspectives . I also blog regularly, under the byline Letsgetitdone, on economics and politics at Correntewire, and DailyKos, where I am an Administrator of the Money and Public Purpose blog.

In addition, my blog posts are frequently carried at Naked Capitalism, and Global Economic Intersection.

I’m the author or co-author of more than 11 books, and 750 articles, blog posts, white papers, and reports on Knowledge Management, Policy Analysis, Political Science, Economics and Fiscal Policy, Trade Agreements, Information Technology (distributed knowledge management systems, enterprise knowledge portals, web, enterprise, and KM 2.0), Adaptive Scorecards, Risk Intelligence, Social Science Methodology, and Psychometrics.

My most recent books are:

Fixing the Debt Without Breaking America: Austerity, the Trillion Dollar Coin, and Ending Debt Ceiling, Sequester, and Budgetary Crises;

Declarations of Dependence: Tyranny, Sovereignty, and Democracy;

Austerity, Greece’s Debt Crisis, and the Theft of Democracy;

Who Needs Balanced Trade? Who Needs Balanced Budgets;

Fiscal Myths of the 2016 Campaign;

Real Fiscal Responsibility, Vol. I: The Progressive Give-up Formula;

Real Fiscal Responsibility, Vol. II: The Peterson Network, Inequality, and the Failure of Neoliberalism; and

Finally, I have taught Political Science at the Graduate and Undergraduate Levels, and have a BA from Cornell University in Government, and MA and Ph.D. degrees in Comparative Politics and International Relations from Michigan State University. In addition, I co-designed and taught 1-5 day Knowledge Management Certificate Training Workshops for KMCI, ARK Group, KM World, and the Library of Congress.
