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.

    Poverty Perpetuation, Dynamics, Mechanisms, and Reforms

    This talk will investigate the determinants and mechanisms of poverty perpetuation with a view to challenging mainstream academic discourse. We will review Henry George’s theory in an effort to understand why development in modern technology, social services, and education fails to alleviate poverty, and why the growing wealth of industrialized economies tend to stay concentrated in fewer hands. We will look into various growth models to understand the steady state of rich and poor economies, their technical issues, and policy implications, and lastly how the ecological imbalance and climate change impact poverty and vice versa.

    The speaker, Nishu Mehrish is a PhD candidate in Economics at the New School of Social Research, NY.
