The Poverty of Nations and the New Imperialism

a talk by Alan Freeman

Wednesday, March 20 at 8 pm


The world today confronts two indissolubly-linked problems.
First, why, despite unceasing technical advance, do growing
poverty and misery reign in most of the world? Second, why
has the entry of the former USSR and Eastern European
countries into the market, contrary to expert prediction,
led to a collapse in living standards and an unparalleled
crisis in all aspects of production and political life?

Alan Freeman is a lecturer at the University of Greenwich in
the UK. He co-edited _Ricardo, Marx, and Sraffa_ with Ernest
Mandel and _Marx and Non-Equilibrium Economics_ with
Guglielmo Carchedi.

Admission is $6.

*****

Please note that the talk, "A Terrible Peace to Follow a
Terrible War" with Bogden Denitch scheduled for Tuesday,
