Associate Professor

John Jay College - City University of New York

J. W. Mason is associate professor of economics at John Jay College, CUNY, and a senior fellow at the Roosevelt Institute and at the ZOE Institute for Future-Fit Economics. He was formerly the Policy Director for the New York Working Families Party. He works to broaden the conversation around public management of the economy, arguing for more ambitious goals for macroeconomic policy and a broader set of tools to achieve them. To this end, he has written about the case for more expansionary fiscal and monetary policy, and a broader vision of full employment; the economic arguments for a Green New Deal; the need for a broader set of tools for monetary policy and inflation control; and the World War II mobilization as a model for economic policy today.
