To counter that I wrote a book that says: Here is the latest research and this is what it tells us about the world.</p> <p>“Let’s think about how you could develop policy that will actually improve your community.”</p> <p>A professor of political economy at the Ƶ’s Munk School of Global Affairs &amp; Public Policy, with a cross-appointment in the department of political science within the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science, Breznitz is also a Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research where he has co-founded and co-directs the program on innovation, equity and the future of prosperity.</p> <p>“Professor Breznitz is one of the most bold and incisive voices in the conversation on innovation and prosperity in Canada and beyond. He is shaping the future of innovation,” said Professor&nbsp;<b>Peter Loewen</b>, director of the Munk School. &nbsp;“He is incredibly deserving of this recognition.”</p> <p><b>Melanie Woodin</b>, dean of the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science, congratulated Breznitz on receiving the honour.</p> <p>“Dan is internationally recognized for his pioneering research on the distributional impact of innovation policies,” Woodin said.&nbsp;“With this new book he asks – and answers – crucial questions about innovation-based growth and how it can help build and stabilize whole communities.”</p> <h3><a href="https://munkschool.exposure.co/417754594fd606ca8a0b645823501e66">Read a Q&amp;A about the book with Breznitz</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Thu, 25 Nov 2021 21:54:32 +0000 lanthierj 301083 at
