Writer and political analyst Holly Sklar will explore economics and social analysis at 8 p.m. March 5, in the Edmund S. Muskie Archives, 70 Campus Ave. The public is invited to attend free of charge.<\/p>\n
Sklar will discuss her latest book, Chaos or Community? Seeking Solutions, not Scapegoats for Bad Economics<\/em> (South End Press, 1995). She “presents a disturbing vision of the modern, corporation-dominated America, where the rich get richer, the poor are mired in poverty and the society no longer cares for its children. At a time of governmental cutbacks, Sklar is a dissenting voice,” said Washington Post Book World.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sklar is the co-author of the highly acclaimed Streets of Hope: The Fall and Rise of an Urban Neighborhood<\/em> (South End Press, 1994), the story of the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative and its groundbreaking approach to community revitalization.<\/p>\n Sklar’s other books include the award-winning Washington’s War on Nicaragua<\/em> (South End Press, 1988) and the best-selling Trilateralism: The Trilateral Commission for Elite Planning and World Management<\/em> (South End Press, 1980).<\/p>\n Sklar’s commentaries have appeared in numerous magazines, anthologies and newspapers such as The Nation, Z Magazine, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and USA Today.<\/p>\n A founding board member of the Progressive Media Project, Sklar is also an associate of Political Research Associates, an executive committee member of United for a Fair Economy, and a board member of both the American Friend Service Committee Nationwide Women’s Program and the National Writers Union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Writer and political analyst Holly Sklar will explore economics and social analysis at 8 p.m. March 5, in the Edmund S.
