The Insecurity State: The New Relevance of Marx

a book party and discussion with Edward S. Herman

Thursday, May 16 at 8 pm


Join us in celebrating the publication of Edward S.
Herman's latest book, _Triumph of the Market_ (South End
Press). Herman will discuss the economic and political roots of the
widening insecurity of ordinary citizens, the new relevance of
Marxian economics in analyzing these developments, and the ways in
which the intelligentsia and media normalize the growing insecurity
and inequality. Attention will also be given to theoretical and
practical remedies and outcomes.

Edward S. Herman is Professor Emeritus of Finance at the
Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and is a regular
columnist for _Z Magazine_.

Admission is $6.
