“Will the Zombie Capitals Die This Time?” [] Center for Global Justice
Event Category: Presentations/Discussions

The US economy has remained at the center of the world market thanks in good part to its place in global flows of financial capital, an unrelenting war on labor, and the strengths of its innovation system. This success, however, has come at the cost of a rise of “zombie capitals” in a number of senses of the term. The talk will explore what is being done to keep them alive through the present crisis, and what these policies imply regarding the historical limits of capitalism.
What we do The Center engages in local community support and outreach to promote and advance initiatives and movements toward social justice, grassroots empowerment and democracy, and environmental sustainability. It is also devoted to critical analysis of the processes and impacts of globalization, both local and international. The Center works to develop alternative socio-economic systems that conserve and share the world’s cultural, economic, and environmental resources for the benefit of humankind.
