How does the global economic system work? How do the rules of the
capitalist, imperialist system work to benefit the few at the expense of
the many? And how do we transform this world for the protection of the
planet and the liberation of workers in the Global South and North alike?

Over the coming months, the Climate and Economics Subcommittee of the DSA
International Committee will present a new political education series — an
Introduction to Global Economics — to answer these questions and more,
exploring the key dynamics of, and actors in, the contemporary global
economic system.

Though much attention is paid (and rightfully so!) to the more overt,
attention-grabbing manifestations of imperialism, such as wars and coups,
this series seeks to introduce US socialists to the subtler, but no less
insidious, systemic functioning of global capitalism, touching on issues of
global debt, the IMF, the rules of trade, dollar hegemony.

We reject the idea that these economic subjects are only for the “experts”
— whether the IMF’s stranglehold on African economic independence, the
shackles of debt that weigh down Latin America, or the WTO’s war on workers
from the US to the Philippines, these are issues that affect the people and
are of critical importance to socialists of all stripes and interests. This
series aims to equip our movement with the foundational knowledge needed to
confront them.

*Join us!*

In solidarity,

Michael Galant
