Work and Labour Virtual Book Launch
What does your pension fund have to do with rising housing costs?
Tom Fraser will discuss his new book, Invested in Crisis, Public Sector Pensions Against the Future with comments from Professor Priya Gupta, McGill University, and the Institute of Political Economy’s Financialization Research Lab Director, Kevin Skerrett, who are co-leading the “World’s Landlords” project.
The discussion will be moderated by Jacob Wilson, a recent graduate of the IPE Work and Labour program who specialized in pensions and housing.
Fraser delves deep into the sordid stories of the public sector pension fund investment world: the massive real estate projects, the infrastructure privatization debacles, how unions fight back, and what needs to be done so we can all save for a better future.
