Gar Alperovitz, a leading scholar and activist in the building of a new economy, will speak on “Democratizing the Emerging Economy.”
When: Thursday, September 13th
Where: 5604 Manor Rd. @ 7pm
Cooperatives, social enterprises, public banks and other new structures provide a new vision for the next economy. Alperovitz, the Lionel R. Bauman Professor of Political Economy at the University of Maryland, will explain how this work, especially the various forms of cooperative ownership, is helping to lay the groundwork for important new directions in the coming era that will see major political and economic changes.
Alperovitz’s talk is sponsored by Cooperation Texas, an Austin-based non-profit committed to the creation of sustainable jobs through the development, support and promotion of worker-owned cooperatives.
A suggested donation of $10 (no one turned away for lack funds) will support the work of Cooperation Texas. For more information, contact [email protected]. You can RSVP on Facebook by CLICKING HERE.
