We were fortunate to have Dr. Kevin Danaher of Global Exchange give another dynamic presentation here on campus about democratizing the global economy. His talk was well attended. Even Steve was present.

Dr. Danaher believes that a renewed commitment to social justice and human rights is essential for eliminating terrorism. A longtime critic of the so-called "free trade" agenda, Danaher explains how the US must work harder than ever with other countries to reduce poverty and inequality if we want the cooperation of the world's people in ending terrorism. Dr. Danaher is also the author/editor of 11 books, including his latest, Democratizing the Global Economy.
Here is a video I shot of Dr. Danaher answering important questions asked by Julia and Zied of IHP. Many thanks Julia and Zied!
The following websites Dr. Danaher shared in his presentation. They are neat and hope you check them out.

I think my favorite quote from the evening lecture went something like this:
(in talking about a capitalist/ consumerist society)
"I love it when they say to me, 'It's a dog-eat-dog world out there. It's a rat race.' Well, you know what? Dogs don't eat dogs! Rats don't race!"
