**DOUG HENWOOD talks about his new book "After the New Economy"
**Monday, November 10, 7:00pm
**Flemming Center, 1426 9th St. NW in DC (9th and P Sts.), a few
blocks from the Shaw/Howard U and Mt. Vernon metro stops on the
Green line

Come spend an evening with radical economist Doug Henwood as he
discusses his new book "After the New Economy." Henwood is the
founder and editor of the Left Business Observer, a monthly
newsletter on economics and politics in the US and the world at
large. He is a contributing editor to The Nation magazine and does
a weekly program on WBAI radio, New York's Pacifica outlet. He is
also the author of "The State of the USA Atlas" (1994) and "Wall
Street: How It Works and For Whom" (1997).

Praise for "After the New Economy":

"Fast, funny and consistently merciless toward the purveyors of
economic delusion and deception. I feel ten times smarter than I
was before I read this book!"
-Barbara Ehrenreich

"Here, finally, is the touch of the real thing, the antidote to
the flourishing fashionable anti-capitalism in today's academia -
like a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice after a
chemical 'orange drink.' If Doug Henwood were not to exist, he
would have to be invented: the will to change the situation is
organically inscribed into his precise economic analyses. My dream
is that no only economists and sociologists, but also everybody in
Cultural Sciences will read this book!"
-Slavoj Zizek

"Doug Henwood is a wicked genius who makes you laugh while
pointing out the most horrific consequences of capitalism's most
titillating hours."
-Susie Bright
