"Global Financial Crisis: the end of neo-liberalism?"
Transnational Institute - 23.10.2008 12:42
Public Debate with Howard Wachtel, Barry Gills and Myriam vander Stichele
Chair: Susan George
The greatest financial crisis since the wall street crash of 1929 has
been met by an unprecedented set of government actions to stem the tide
of destruction. But is there also a coming sea change in economic
theory and practice, as well as in politics, in the shift from a free
market to intervention in the market? Is this the end of 'capitalism as
we know it'? What are the power politics and prospects to achieve
change? What are the alternatives to these catastrophically failed ideas
behind the 'neoliberal globalization' and 'corporate globalisation?
TNI panelists will analyse the causes and consequences of the on-going
Global Financial Crisis and discuss its profound implications for a
changed world order.
