The Cambridge Consensus blog’s goal is to offer an informed overview and commentary of developments in the sphere of political and economic reform, energy, privatization and nationalization policy globally.
The blogs title references the term Washington Consensus used by economist John Williamson, describing a set of ten policy prescriptions that make up for the “standard” reform package promoted by Washington D.C. institutions like the IMF and World Bank for developing countries in crisis. The prescriptions included policies like privatization, trade, investment and labor deregulation and macroeconomic stabilization. The name of this blog is intended to imply a next, rather different chapter in the development of political and economic reform policy.
The Cambridge Consensus’s goal is to create a forum for informed debate and analysis. The blog does not promote a particular political position but aims to contribute to a critical, analytical and pluralistic consideration and discussion of all developments that affect the political and economic aspects of strategic and sustainable economic and political reform.
