***** PLEASE REPOST ***** The Brecht Forum and its projects: The New York Marxist School and The Institute for Popular Education presents The Legacy of Ernest Mandel a talk by Alan Freeman Wednesday, December 4 at 7:30 pm Ernest Mandel stood out in the twentieth century as a Marxist economist who explicitly denied any self-equilibrating of capitalism.

Alan Freeman will discuss the relevance of Mandel's work for contemporary social and economic issues. Alan Freeman, a Lecturer at the University of Greenwich, co-edited _Ricardo, Marx, and Sraffa_ with Ernest Mandel and _Marx and Non-Equilibrium Economics_ with Guglielmo Carchedi. Admission is $6.
