This Necessary Conversation is sponsored by the Donahue Center for Business Ethics & Social Responsibility in the Manning School of Business at UMass-Lowell.

Topic for this Conversation:  The 99 Percent Economy

Based on ideas from his recent book, Paul will discuss six crises -- economic turmoil, workplace disempowerment, government unresponsiveness, environmental degradation, social disintegration, and international conflict -- and how the root cause of each lies in the capitalist nature of our economic system. The conversation will address mechanisms for reorienting production and investment to meet the needs of people and planet in terms of socialized ownership of productive resources and democratic controls over the management of enterprise and the national economy.
