SUMMARY:Nathan Tankus. The Federal Reserve Under Trump: A Unitary Executive Crisis
DESCRIPTION:From the first day Trump was sworn into office for his second presidential administration\, administrative agencies have been under attack. These attacks have been a mixture of the longstanding agendas of far right think tanks who have disdain for the administrative state and big tech’s technological agenda. The legal core of this assault is the theory of the “unitary executive”- the idea that the executive branch is under the direct and personal control of the president rather than filled with a multitude of agencies with varying degrees of discretion and ability to make decisions independently of the White House. \nA long standing tension for far right legal theorists has been the place of the Federal Reserve in their legal theories. Economists have their own ad-hoc amateur theory of administrative law- known as “central bank independence”. How could an “independent” Federal Reserve survive the unitary executive theory’s elimination of independent agencies? In Trump V. Wilcox\, the Supreme Court hinted at a squaring of this circle by declaring a “unitary executive- except for the Fed” solution. Recently\, the Trump administration has raised the stakes by attempting to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. As of this writing\, Lisa Cook is still in her position while her case is being appealed to the supreme court. \nWhat are the stakes of a Federal Reserve fully under the control of Donald Trump? While mainstream commentators focus on interest rate policy\, the stakes are quite a bit larger. From budgetary policy to credit policy\, the potential for abuse is enormous and not well understood. After introducing the state of play\, the rest of the talk will focus on the less understood potential mechanisms for abuse and draw larger conclusions for what these mechanisms tell us about the nature of the Federal Reserve.

SUMMARY:Alex Vitale. "Mamdani and Public Safety: Charting a New Path"
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Alex Vitale will discuss the Mamdani campaign’s proposal to create a new Department of Community Safety to address a wide variety of public safety concerns independently of the NYPD. Over 50 cities have created similar departments or offices\, and the results have been very positive. What will it take to get such a Department established and what kinds of jobs will be created in the process?

SUMMARY:The John Jay-New School Conference on Contemporary Political Economy
DESCRIPTION:This new conference is a collaborative initiative aimed at sustaining and strengthening critical political economy scholarship. While URPE has traditionally organized panels at the Eastern Economic Association’s annual conference (URPE@Easterns) alongside other organized streams in political economy\, the EEA’s 2026 meeting—scheduled to take place in the Dominican Republic in May—presents a number of challenges to many who frequently participate in the our February meetings\, including for those who rely on staying with friends or colleagues in the conference city to meet total conference costs. \nIn response\, faculty at John Jay College and the New School for Social Research\, in collaboration with colleagues from several other institutions and with the support of URPE\, are organizing a two-day conference as an alternative forum. As with URPE@Easterns\, the objective is to foster rigorous and critical dialogue among scholars across the heterodox spectrum. The event is not limited to URPE members: participation is open to all scholars working within the tradition of critical political economy. \nRegistration link: https://forms.gle/J6Y3BCwSj2M6zMxR8 \nPANELISTS: If you are using slides in your panel\, please email your slide deck as an attachment (not a link) by Wednesday February 25th to: URPEjohnjay2026@gmail.com \nDetailed Conference Program (Updated 2/27) \nSchedule \n\n\n\nFriday\nFebruary 27th\, 2026\nLocation:\n\n\nRegistration Begins 8:00am\n\n524 West 59th Street.
