Time : 6:30 pm
Entry : Free (Seating on First-Come First-Served basis)
Note : Call 011-24619431 ( IIC ) to re-confirm any last minute change or cancellation of the event.
Event Details : 'Ruskin and Gandhi: The Wealth that is Life' lecture by Dr. Paul Sawyer, Cornell University, author of Ruskin’s Poetic Argument.
This lecture will briefly survey Ruskin’s moral and economic project in “Unto This Last” in order to consider what it said to Gandhi and what it says to us today. Today, the ideology of free market capitalism (“neo-liberalism”, the descendant of the Manchester School) rules the roost, both in academic economics departments and in strategies of global “development.” Both Ruskin and Gandhi challenge us to re-think the weaknesses of this model for imagining a future in which wealth (defined as something other than returns on capital investment) can be shared by all.
