On the blog of the Institute for New Economic Thinking is a video of a discussion at Union Seminary with Joseph Stiglitz, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, to inaugurate a year-long discussion on Economics and Theology. Quoting their website: "The event was held on
September 19, 2012, and featured a wide-ranging conversation with Stiglitz about the intersection of
economics with hope, happiness, death, suffering, values, grace, and
evil. Stiglitz was joined in the discussion by Union Theological
Seminary President Rev. Dr. Serene Jones, INET Executive Director Rob
Johnson, Union Professor of Social Ethics Gary Dorrien, and Betty Sue
Flowers, former director of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum
and Emeritus Professor at the University of Texas". Here is a "highlights" video
