Capitalism 2009 Lecture on the Global Crisis
Click below for the video & Powerpoint presentation of the lecture I gave in April 2009 in Helsinki to "Capitalism '09: seeking alternatives to global capitalism."
Videos at Left Forum website.
PowerPoint presentation.
This lecture outlines alternative models for understanding capitalism and capitalist crises; analyzes the relationship between the global financial and economic crises and a wider organic crisis and outlines both dominant neo-liberal and alternative, progressive frameworks. It makes five sets of policy recommendations and possible steps towards a more socially just and sustainable post-capitalist world order.
It was part of a conference organized by the Finland Left Forum in April 2009. Other speakers were Isabella Bakker who specializes in feminist political economy; researcher and climate activist Tadzio Müller, a critic of Green capitalism; Hilary Wainwright, editor of Red Pepper magazine and Oras Tynkkynen, MP of the Green Party in Finland.
