Capitalism in Peril – Democratic Socialism to the Rescue?

Since its emergence in the late 1700s, Capitalism has been the most successful economic system that the world has ever seen. However, the colorful success stories cannot hide the grim realities of extreme income inequality, cyclical instability, social destitution and what has been termed by some as the ecological “death spiral”. In this interactive seminar, Ted Auerbach presents the democratic socialist alternative and, discusses its potential for recapturing the lost genius of American prosperity.

Mr. Auerbach is a New York based retired school teacher. He has been a peace and social justice activist for over 50 years.

Time: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

    The Rise of Automation and AI – Curse or Blessing for the Working Class?

    Adaptation to technological disruption has always been a defining characteristic of advanced capitalist economies, but are we prepared for what’s coming next – meaning, artificial intelligence and automation? With the release of applications such as ChatGPT and the like, many analysts are indeed asking this question. This panel of three distinguished speakers will discuss the impact of AI and Automation on labor markets and highlight possible policy responses.
