[IMC-Announce] The New Depression by Arun Gupta
The 7th Annual Ric Pfeffer Lecture Presents
Arun Gupta:
THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE NEW DEPRESSION
o How global capitalism's tremors match the waning of US hegemony
o How neoliberal policies led to cascading economic disasters
o What deeper crises neoliberals failed to stave off
o What to fear and hope for in the aftermath of the crisis
Sunday, April 5, 2009, 7-9 p.m.
2640 Space / Red Emma's
2640 St. Paul Street
Baltimore, MD
Arun Gupta has been an editor of The Indypendent (New York) since 2000 and
was an editor of The Guardian (New York) from 1989-1992. He was active in
the anti-apartheid divestment and Central America solidarity movements in
the 1980s and studied philosophy, history and mathematics at the
University of Maryland. He is currently writing a book on the decline of
U.S. hegemony.
Ric Pfeffer, in whose honor this lecture series was established, worked as
a lawyer with OSHA at the Department of Labor, where he made notable
contributions to worker safety. At the time of his retirement due to
illness, he was developing a standard that would have established a single
universal process for managing and monitoring worker health and safety in
all of the nation's workplaces—a project long supported by the labor
movement.
The Ric Pfeffer Lecture is a program of Research Associates Foundation.
