Professor Richard Wolff: Global Capitalism October 2013 Monthly Update

[marmar]

October 8, 2013 - 19:00 - 20:30
The Brecht Forum: 25 EAST 13TH STREET, 2ND FLOOR, GLASS CORNER
Co-sponsor: The New School Design & Urban Ecologies Program PLEASE NOTE NEW TIME & PLACE! These Tuesday evenings begin with updates and analyses of the last month’s major economic events. We focus on the global capitalist economic crisis, government responses, and the growing challenges to contemporary capitalism. We examine resistances to "austerity," "deficit reduction" and other programs aimed to “socialize” the costs of capitalist crisis. Alternative theories for understanding these issues are considered. Likewise, we examine alternatives to capitalism as solutions to today’s economic problems. When time permits, we open the floor to general discussions. Our goal: to develop all participants’ understanding and ability to explain economic developments to others.
