Presents a special FREE event

THE PARTY OF DAVOS: HOW GLOBALIZATION HAS RESHAPED AMERICAN POLITICS

a panel discussion with

JEFF FAUX, President Emeritus, Economic Policy Institute

and

SHERLE R. SCHWENNINGER, Senior Fellow, World Policy Institute, The New School.

Jeff Faux, President Emeritus of the Economic Policy Institute, and Sherle R. Schwenninger, Senior Fellow at the World Policy Institute at The New School, will discuss the themes of Mr. Faux's new but already widely acclaimed book, The Global Class War: How America’s Bipartisan Elite Lost Our Future—And What It Will Take to Win It Back. Thanks to globalization, political leaders in Washington have more in common with the rich and powerful of other nations than with ordinary Americans—forming what Mr. Faux calls the Party of Davos. And as a result, they support an economic constitution that principally protects the interests of the corporate investor at the expense of the economic well-being and security of most Americans. Mr. Faux and Mr. Schwenninger will discuss how the economic rules of globalization can be reshaped to work for everyone.
