Event date: January 9 / 2025

Zoom meeting with the economist Michael Hudson to discuss David Graeber’s work.

On January 9th, we will hold a Zoom meeting about the essay, Against Economics!

The economist Michael Hudson will give a talk discussing Neo-Liberalism, modern Capitalism, and austerity in relation to David Graeber’s essay ‘Against Economics.’ Hudson is a renowned American economist and public intellectual. Serving as a Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri–Kansas City, Hudson pioneered the concept of debt as a cornerstone of social relationships in human society. His groundbreaking research significantly influenced David Graeber’s seminal work, Debt: The First 5,000 Years.

The essay “Against Economics” was written by David Graeber in 2019 and is a critique of the modern economics – a critique that is still very relevant today.
