A Presentation by

“Several factors have […] lead me to the view that capitalism is a powerful shaping force which steadily transforms all cultures and institutions in its path, bending those which will bend and breaking those which will not. The central concern of my work has been the attempt to understand the fundamental processes at work in advanced capitalism […] How do market economies work, and why do they generate certain recurrent patterns which seem to cut across differences in origin, in culture, and even historic epochs. Why is capitalist growth characterized by order-within-disorder, periodically punctuated by episodes of general economic crisis?” – Anwar Shaikh
Dr. Anwar Shaikh is a distinguished author and professor of economics at the New School for Social Research. He will be discussing the reasons behind the recent economic decline in the US and its consequences.
