 Bernard Schwartz is vice chairman of the board of Trustees and has established and sponsors a number of programs and events at New School University, a progressive university located in Greenwich Village.
New School University was originally founded in 1919 as the New School for Social Research by a group of distinguished independent-minded scholars including historian Charles Beard, economists Thorstein Veblen and James Harvey Robinson, and philosopher John Dewey.
Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis and Chair in Economics
and Policy
The Center is the economic policy research arm of the New School for Social Research Department of Economics. The activities of the Schwartz Center focus on three issues: economic growth, employment, and inequality. Its focus is on the U.S. economy, but always with an awareness of the global context of U.S. economic developments.
The Schwartz Center Lecture Series
The Schwartz Center Lecture Series consists of two annual lectures: The Irene & Bernard L. Schwartz Lecture and The Robert Heilbroner Memorial Lecture on the Future of Capitalism. The Schwartz lecture is designed to contribute to and influence the debate over crucial policy issues facing the U.S. and world economies by bringing a distinguished speaker or panel to address the University.
