To NYC-area URPE Members and Friends:
David Barkin will speak on
"Alternative Approaches to Globalization"
Monday April 12
6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
New School University
80 Fifth Avenue (at 14th Street), Room 529
In this era when opportunities for dignified work and rising standards
of living seem unattainable for millions of workers and peasants in the
Third World, they are developing their own strategies to retain some measure
of control of their lives, their communities and their environments. The
lecture will suggest a different behavioral model including their own conception
of accumulation, based on partial insertion into the proletarian labor force,
following the dictates of communal decision-making and collective responsibilities.
David Barkin, of the Xochimilco Campus of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana
in México City, received his doctorate from Yale University and was awarded
the National Prize in Political Economics for his analysis of inflation
in Mexico. He is a member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences. His most
recent books include: Wealth, Poverty and Sustainable Development and Mexican
Innovations in Water Management. His work on unequal development leads
him to develop alternative strategies for the sustainable management of
resources in collaboration with local communities. David is a long-time
URPE member.
