Hi John,
The coronavirus pandemic has not only shown us how unprepared our governments and our healthcare systems are for health crises of this scale but also how, in moments of real crisis, we can marshal extraordinary resources to solve problems facing society.
It’s also shown us that while the wealthy get bailouts, the costs of fighting a crisis may fall on the most vulnerable and least responsible.
Can the world harness the solidarity displayed over the last few weeks to make real and lasting change for the global south? Can we fight corporate greed and deliver a new equitable reality for the least well off and most oppressed?
This Thursday, join our international panel of speakers to examine what’s wrong with the solutions that are being peddled by the 1%, and some of the alternatives, such as debt cancellation and a wealth tax on those corporations still profiting in the crisis.
Business as usual isn’t good enough:
Why neoliberalism won’t help the global south out of this crisis
- When: Thursday 9 April, 6,30pm
