SUMMARY:Zombie Neoliberalism\, taxes and the common good with Alex Himelfarb and Jesse Hajer
DESCRIPTION:Register here for this event \nNeoliberalism has led to a growing gap between the rich and the rest of us during a time of climate crisis. \nThis has led to many compounding crises – a polycrisis  – while our collective toolkit and solidarity necessary to act together has rarely been weaker.   \nThis talk focuses on how our views of government\, debt\, inflation – and\, above all taxes – have made us doubt that we can do great things together. And it will explore what it might take for things to turn.  \nHimelfarb is the author of the new book “Breaking Free of Neoliberalism: Canada’s Challenge” (Lorimer Publishing). The book explains why neoliberalism – idealizing free-market capitalism persists and what can be done to take dramatic action on issues like inequality and global warming. This event doubles as the Winnipeg book launch.  \nHimelfarb is a former senior clerk of the Privy Council\, Ambassador to Italy\, Director of the Glendon School of Public and International Affairs\, founder of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness\, and chair of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.  \nJesse Hajer is an Associate Professor in Economics and Labour Studies at the University of Manitoba. He is the co-editor of Austerity in Manitoba: Public Service in Tough Times: Working Under Austerity in Manitoba\, 2016-2022. \n \n
