Doug Henwood: The Crisis of Neoliberalism
More than twenty years ago, convinced that the 1980s experiment with free-market economics was a financial and social disaster and that much writing on economics was dry and dated, Doug Henwood founded the critically-acclaimed Left Business Observer.
Invited here as part of the Capital Region Social Forum, he’ll be addressing the current crisis of neoliberalism.
Read Henwood's review of Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine.
Our press release:
9 September 7 PM Doug Blackmon on "Slavery By Another Name"
Join us at Christ Church United Methodist in Troy where we're co-sponsoring a talk and book signing by Doug Blackmon, New York Times bestselling author of "Slavery By Another Name" at 7 PM on Tuesday, September 9!
Filled with archival photographs, "Slavery by Another Name" is the true account of the re-enslavement of African Americans from the end of the Civil War until World War II.
Contrary to public understanding, emancipation did not end slavery for hundreds of thousands of people in the southern U.S. African Americans were arrested for minor offenses, often for no offense at all, and sentenced to hard labor in coal mines, lumber camps, farms, and mills across the South. Most were never released from deplorable working and living conditions.
