Surplus: An assembly for a new economy
talk
main stage
There are plenty of business magazines for the already wealthy. Surplus flips the script – focusing instead on economic issues that benefit the majority. The hybrid publication brings together a choir of prominent economists, including heavyweights like Thomas Piketty and Mariana Mazzucato. Co-founder Ole Rauch shares his vision for the role of publications in the effort to re-build our economy – and discusses the collaborative infrastructure that enables the newsletter, online magazine, and print edition to thrive in times of hyper-personalized online discourse.
Ole Rauch is co-founder and publisher of Brumaire Verlag, which publishes magazines such as Surplus, the German edition of Jacobin, as well as political non-fiction books.
