Entrevue avec Susan George par Guy Taillefer
L'intellectuelle militante Susan George débarque à Montréal avec armes et bagages
Figure de proue de l'altermondialisme, personnalité fondatrice d'ATTAC, Susan George débarque ces jours-ci à Montréal avec armes et bagages. Évidemment qu'elle espère que le démocrate Barack Obama sera élu président mardi prochain. Autrement plus conservateur qu'elle s'est mis à le souhaiter aux États-Unis. La crise financière? «Une possibilité de restructuration citoyenne de l'économie.»
Patience et longueur de temps.

Susan George is known for her critiques of corporate-driven globalisation and hard-hitting books on hunger, development and debt. Now,she argues, we can borrow lessons from the early 1940s to transform our shattered economies and halt runaway climate change before it’s too late

multiple crises. There is mass poverty,
and growing inequality within and between
rich and poor countries.

Outside of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Republican leaders in the White House and Congress, just about everybody who’s anybody on the national political scene agrees with the notion that the financial bailout must include constraints on executive compensation.
Both of our major presidential candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain, are insisting that the bailout must not enrich the already rich.
In Congress, top Democrats are singing the same song.
But the lyrics have been rather indistinct.

The Wall Street meltdown is not only due to greed and to the lack of government regulation of a hyperactive sector.
