|"Austerity Games and the Global Impacts of Wall Street" at Occupy
Boston's Free School University on October 7, 2011 (Video 2 of 3)<br><br>Mark
Blyth and Kevin P. Gallagher discuss how Wall Street interests have
hijacked the debates of crisis and debt in the US and across the globe
and in so doing have duped publics into thinking that austerity is the
route to recovery and growth. Nothing could be further from the truth.<br><br>---<br><br>Mark Blyth is professor of international political economy at Brown <br>University and fellow at the Watson Institute for International <br>Affairs. <br><br>Kevin P. Gallagher is associate professor of international <br>relations at Boston University and research associate at the Global <br>Development and Environment Institute, Tufts University. <br><br>Blyth and Gallagher both blog at Triple Crisis (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.triplecrisis.com/">www.triplecrisis.com</a>), a global blog of political economists writing about the crises in finance, <br>development, and the environment.</div><div><br></div><div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>> -------- Original Message --------<br>> Subject: [Street] OB Actions<br>> From: Kevin Maley <<a href="mailto:kevinmaley@gmail.com">kevinmaley@gmail.com</a>><br>> Date: Tue, January 10, 2012 10:06 pm<br>> To: street <<a href="mailto:Street@lists.occupyboston.org">Street@lists.occupyboston.org</a>><br>> <br>> <br>> Hi All,<br>> <br>> So a few of us have been having some conversations about a <b>focused and<br>> sustained campaign on the financial institutions, specifically the<br>> mega-banks.</b> This would include actions like today's at BNY Mellon and the<br>> BofA action we did during the Day of Action. <b>It would also include<br>> informing the public about things they can do (transfer to credit unions)<br>> and the egregious things the big banks do; such as basically taking over<br>> public policy, making huge investments in dirty coal and mountain top<br>> removal, and foreclosing on millions of Americans, often illegally.</b><br>> <br>> We were going to do it as either a subset of street or probably a separate<br>> working group, since its focused on a specific target, but would involve<br>> street action and so wanted to collaborate and get people aboard who wanted<br>> to join. I think we are looking to meet next weekend (the one after MLK)<br>> but times not sure. So if you want in let me know<br>> <br>> Also thinking back to the Day of Action/Unity Rally, it was a really unique<br>> thing that really brought everyone together. With recent events at OB<br>> getting really ugly internally, I think it would help us as a movement to<br>> try something like that again soon, or otherwise plan some big action that<br>> can help us look outward and keep moving. Maybe a bank action, maybe<br>> something separate, maybe a lot of separate actions like the DofA. Not sure<br>> what it would look like but just wanted throw that out there as I think it<br>> would be good for people at Occupy Boston<br>> <br>> keep on truckin'<br>> Kev<hr>_______________________________________________<br>> Street mailing list<br>> <br>> Post: <a href="mailto:Street@lists.occupyboston.org">Street@lists.occupyboston.org</a><br>> List info: <a href="https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/street">https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/street</a><br>> <br>> To Unsubscribe<br>> Send email to: <a href="mailto:Street-unsubscribe@lists.occupyboston.org">Street-unsubscribe@lists.occupyboston.org</a><br>> Or visit: <a href="https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/options/street/eden%40akashic.com">https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/options/street/eden%40akashic.com</a><br>> <br>> You are subscribed as: <a href="mailto:eden@akashic.com">eden@akashic.com</a></div></span></body></html>
