DESCRIPTION:Human Agenda invites you to a community dialogue with Dr. Richard 
 Wolff\n\nDemocracy at Work: Why We Need a Solidarity Economy\n\nIn this 
 compelling new manifesto Dr. Wolff argues for a democratic alternative 
 based on workers directing their own workplaces. Whether it is secure, 
 well-paid, and meaningful jobs or a sustainable relationship with the 
 natural environment that we depend on, our society is not delivering the 
 results people need and deserve.  One key cause for this intolerable state 
 of affairs is the lack of genuine democracy in our economy as well as in 
 our politics. The solution requires the institution of genuine economic 
 democracy, starting with workers directing their own workplaces, as the 
 basis for a genuine political democracy. Here Richard D. Wolff lays out a 
 hopeful and concrete vision of how to make that possible. \n\nRichard D. 
 Wolff is professor of economics emeritus at the University of 
 Massachusetts, Amherst. He is currently a visiting professor at the New 
 School for Social Research in New York. Wolff is the author of many books, 
 including Capitalism Hits the Fan: The Global Economic Meltdown and What to 
 Do About It. He hosts the weekly hour-long radio program “Economic 
 Update” on KPFA (Pacifica Radio), writes regularly for The Guardian and 
 Truthout.org, and appears frequently on television and radio to discuss his 
 work, with recent guest spots including "Real Time with Bill Maher," 
 "Moyers & Company," "Charlie Rose," "Up with Chris Hayes," and "Democracy 
 Now!." He is also a frequent lecturer at colleges and universities across 
 the country.\n\n$10-$20 donation requested\nPlease pay at
