POLITICAL ECONOMIST & ACTIVIST GAR ALPEROVITZ
04/04/2013 7:00 pm
Gar Alperovitz, Lionel R. Bauman Professor of Political Economy at the University of Maryland, is cofounder of The Democracy Collaborative. He is a former fellow of the Institute of Politics at Harvard and of King’s College at Cambridge University, where he received his PhD in political economy. He has served as a legislative director in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, and as a special assistant in the Department of State. Earlier he was president of the Center for Community Economic Development, Codirector of The Cambridge Institute, and president of the Center for the Study of Public Policy.
Gar's newest book speaks about where we find ourselves in history, why the time is right for a new-economy movement to coalesce, what it means to build a new system to replace the crumbling one, and how we might begin. It also suggests what the next system might look like. He proposes a possible next system that is not corporate capitalism, not state socialism, but something else entirely – and something entirely American.
