Consequences of Capitalism
Lannan Foundation and Haymarket Books present a public lecture on The Consequences of Capitalism, by noted Professor Noam Chomsky.
The speaker will discuss the brutal realities laid bare by the COVID-19 pandemic – and the urgent need for an alternative to capitalism. Covid-19 has revealed glaring failures and monstrous brutalities in the current capitalist system. Our reality represents both a crisis and an opportunity and thus, the future depends on the actions that we the people take into our own hands.
Thursday conversation between Noam Chomsky, the author of numerous best-selling political works, "the father of modern linguistics", and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science, and E. Tammy Kim, an opinion writer and magazine reporter, promises to reveal the most important facets of the current problem faced worldwide.
Attendees can register through Eventbrite to receive a link to the video conference the day before the event. Live captioning will be available via the webcast.
