Our second webinar at 4pm CET, Wednesday 8 April, will focus on the economic fallout from COVID-19. Many are predicting a global recession that could have bigger social impacts than the virus itself. What can we expect? How should we prepare? What can social movements learn from our failures to advance alternative progressive policies in the wake of the 2008 economic crisis?


To address these questions, we are excited to be joined by a stellar cast of panellists including:
 

• Professor Jayati Ghosh, award-winning economist Jawaharlal Nehru University, India. Author of India and the International Economy (2015) and co-editor of Handbook of Alternative Theories of Economic Development, 2018.
• Quinn Slobodian, associate professor of history, Wellesley College. Author of Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism (2018)
• Walden Bello, author of Paper Dragons: China and the Next Crash (2019) and Capitalism’s Last Stand?: Deglobalization in the Age of Austerity (2013)

• Lebohang Liepollo Pheko, Senior Research Fellow  of Trade Collective, a thinktank in South Africa that works on international trade,  globalisation, regional integration and feminist economics
