DESCRIPTION:Seth Donnelly's new book The Lie of Global Prosperity: How Neolilberals 
 Distort Data to Mask Poverty and Exploitation deconstructs the assumption 
 that global poverty has fallen dramatically, and lays bare the spurious 
 methods of poverty measurement and data on which the dominant prosperity 
 narrative depends. Donnelly analyzes just how global poverty, rather than 
 being reduced, is reproduced by the imperatives of capital accumulation on 
 a global scale. Just as global environmental catastrophes cannot be 
 resolved within capitalism, rooted as it is in mechanisms of exploitation 
 and plunder, neither can human poverty be effectively eliminated by 
 neoliberal “advances.”\n\nSeth Donnelly is a public school teacher and 
 long-time radical activist. He will be speaking about The Lie of Global 
 Prosperity and discussing the current situation in Haiti (a primary focus 
 of his book) with Pierre Labossiere of the Bay Area-based Haiti 
 Action.\n\nFree admission.\n
