SURESH NAIDU
"The $700 Billion Question, What is Going on with the Economy?"

Over the past 45 days the stock market has plummeted, gone back up, gone
down, and so on. The U.S. government bough approximately $250 billion in
bank shares (with no voting power). Homes are being foreclosed on. What is
going on with our economy? The talk will focus on the political economy of
the financial crisis, how the Fed and the Treasury bailout package could
work, and the implications for those of us without gigantic asset
portfolios.

Suresh is a radical/Marx influenced economist. He has spent a lot of time
organizing in radical activist communities providing education about radical
economics to help organizers and activists understand capitalism and some
alternatives more completely. Suresh recently received his PhD in economics
and is currently working as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard.
