In order to deal with the multiple ecological crises the world confronts, we have to move past capitalism because of its reliance on limitless growth on a finite planet. Based on the book Construire l’économie postcapitaliste, published in 2023, Audrey Laurin-Lamothe will critically analyze concrete models for postcapitalist ways of reorganizing of our economic and political systems.

Join us on September 26th at 5PM for this insightful talk on democratic planning.
