GMALL – Globalization and Its Discontents
(MANCHESTER, VT) Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning (GMALL) welcomes economist Peter Radford to talk about globalization, which has become a hot topic in the past few years. The program will take place on Tuesday, May 13 from 5:30 to 7:00 pm at Southern Vermont Arts Center and online via live stream. What is globalization? And why do both far right and far left populist politicians hate it so much? Are international organizations all rigged against America? Can the recent history of trade relations be rebuilt using tariffs? Who benefits and who loses from global trade? Is bringing manufacturing home possible or even a good idea? And are global supply chains really that vulnerable to disruption? All this, and more, as we discuss the current discontent with globalization. Registration is $20 per person. The talk will also be available online via live stream. For more information or to register, please call 802-867-0111 or visit our website at greenmtnacademy.org.
