Podcast: Left Forum’s Path to Systemic Change in American Society

On March 17, Between The Lines Radio News Magazine hosted a panel at the Left Forum entitled, “From Evolution to Revolution: The Path to Systemic Change in American Society.”

This podcast is adapted from a longer recording available at BTL’s website, which hosts other audio files from the three-day conference’s various speakers and events. This podcast features Gar Alperovitz’s presentation, followed by his responses during the wide-ranging and extensive question-and-answer period that followed.

Abstract of the theme:

This panel examined different modalities of political and economic change called for by the Occupy movements — from incremental reform to radical transformation. Panelists attempted to answer the question: What type of change is needed to address the full gamut of failed policies and structures in our broken system — from corporate control of the political process, to environmental degradation, a crumbling infrastructure, economic disparity, a failed health care system, etc.. Can these problems be tackled incrementally or only through radical structural change and central planning.

One can listen to the presentations of fellow panelists Amin Husain, Laura Gottesdiener and Chris Rude, as well as read their biographies, at Between The Lines’ website.
