PUBLIC LECTURE: Austere times, and the perverse reproduction of neoliberal reason

A free public lecture by Jamie Peck, Department of Geography, University of British Columbia.

The lecture will explore the political and theoretical status of neoliberalism in these ostensibly twilight times. Particular attention will be focused on the peculiar course of austerity politics in the United States, where a banking crisis has once again been transformed into a state crisis, the costs of which have been trickling down in ways that the benefits of growth never did.
