Does radical economics matter?

Does radical economics matter? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about the relevance of radical economic analysis today and how radical perspectives could help us understand the global economic crisis. More than 20,000 activists participated in the weeklong U.S. Social Forum in Detroit. What useful tools can activists learn from such gatherings to build alternative models at the grassroots? And as mainstream economics has lost it credibility, have radical economists gained attention? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Costas Panayotakis, associate professor of sociology at the New York City College of Technology at CUNY

Anwar Shaikh, professor of economics at the New School for Social Research

Adrienne Maree Brown, executive director of The Ruckus Society, and National Coordinator of The U.S. Social Forum
