DESCRIPTION:With Donald Trump putting the final nails in the coffin of the 
 Trans-Pacific Partnership, what will be the future of globalization?  Free 
 trade between unequal economies introduces structural distortions, 
 resulting in mass social displacement, labor migration, and flight of 
 productive and nonproductive capital.  In response, progressive and 
 reactionary movements have gained ground around the world.  A case study of 
 the U.S.-México border provides unique insights into the 
 military-industrial-incarceration complex and economy at a structural 
 interface.  Discussion will also consider the potential impacts of the 
 recent executive order banning entry of persons from 7 Muslim-majority 
 countries, Trump's stated intention to build "the wall", and his "America 
 first" policy.\n\nSharat G. Lin is a research fellow at the San José Peace 
 and Justice Center.  He writes and lectures on global political economy, 
 labor migration, the Middle East and South Asia, and public health.  He has 
 been following developments at the U.S.-México border for a decade, and 
 travels frequently to Asia and Europe.\n\nWheelchair accessible\nPublic 
 transit:  Ashby BART, AC 1, AC 18\n
