SUMMARY:The Fascist Threat and What it Means for Working Class Politics
DESCRIPTION:“We as a left must build a politics of broad\, working-class solidarity to defeat fascism either now or farther down the road than we can currently envision.” \nAmidst unfolding environmental disaster\, ongoing genocide\, and a lack of faith in public institutions\, fascist and anti-democratic movements continue to gain political ground\, both at home and abroad. How can working class movements respond to these fundamental threats? How can we build a real alternative that can challenge the dominant politics of division and distrust? \nTo speak to this pressing topic\, The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is thrilled to host Adolph Reed Jr. for his re-scheduled special guest lecture\, THE FASCIST THREAT: What it Means for Working Class Politics.  \nAdolph Reed Jr. has been involved in working class politics for half a century. He is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the editor and author of several books on the relationship between class and racism. His writing and opinion pieces have appeared in academic journals and popular magazines including The Progressive\, The Village Voice\, The New Republic\, The Nation\, Dissent\, and nonsite.org. His latest book are The South: Jim Crow and Its Afterlives\, and No Politics but Class Politics (Eris Press\, 2023)\, co-authored with Walter Benn Michaels. Both books will be available for sale at the event. \nFacebook event | Instagram

SUMMARY:The Fall and Rise of American Finance
DESCRIPTION:Public event at The People’s Forum featuring authors Stephen Maher and Scott Aquanno. \nIt is today all but taken for granted by critical political economists – and by political figures from Hillary Clinton to Bernie Sanders – that finance is parasitic on industry. Financialization\, in this view\, amounts to financial institutions capturing the state\, hollowing out the “real” economy\,  and thereby hastening the decline of capitalism. But Stephen Maher and Scott Aquanno pose a bold challenge to this hypothesis in their new book\, The Fall and Rise of American Finance: From J.P. Morgan to Blackrock. Surveying the last century of capitalist development\, they insist that\, despite the costs to workers and the middle class\, financialization has boosted competitiveness and strengthened capital – all with the support of an ever stronger and more authoritarian state. This has culminated since the 2008 crisis in a new economic regime – “a new finance capital” – marked by unprecedented concentration and centralization in the hands of the “Big Three” asset management firms (BlackRock\, Vanguard\, Fidelity).
