What Should the "New Haiti" Look Like?

What should the economic reconstruction of Haiti look like? Will importing more low-wage garment factories bring sustainable job recovery, as Hillary Clinton and others advocate? Or is this a chance for rebuilding in a new direction? On the next Your Call, we'll continue our series Agenda for a New Economy as we talk about Haiti's economy--almost 4 months after the earthquake. Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What do you think is the best direction for Haiti's economic recovery? And what is the responsibility of the international community? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Joshua Nadel, assistant professor of Latin American and Caribbean history at N.C. Central University. He worked in Haiti in 1996-1997 and worked on postwar reconstruction in Kosovo in 1999-2000.

Arun Gupta, writer for the Indypendent and Alternet.
