<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The first session of the three-part workshop entitles,
"The Economic Crisis, The Global Economy, & the Economy We Want"
was attended by about 30 enthusiastic participants. United for a Fair Economy's
Mike Prokosch gave a history of the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region> economy over the last fifty
years and explained how it has increasingly become characterized by financial
speculation. In Part Two he, along Tim Costello (Global Labor Strategies) and
Adrian Boutoureira (United for a Fair Economy) run through the story developed
in the first workshop, looking at the relationship between the so-called US
economy and the global economy -- investment, immigration, Latin America,
China, global unionism -- and "third world" initiatives for a new
economy. Even if you were unable to make the first workshop, you would be
welcome to come along for one or both of the remaining workshops.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5COwner%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="City"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="address"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="Street"></o:smarttagtype><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
