SUMMARY:Unpacking the Polycrisis: Transforming Capitalism’s Existential Health Threats, with Ronald Labonté
DESCRIPTION:\nPolycrisis has become the new term to reference the multiple intersecting crises that are posing global health threats. This upcoming seminar will unpack some of these crises, beginning with the chaotic disruptions to health and economic order engineered by Donald Trump’s second presidency and his administration’s coterie of enabling loyalists. It will identify some of the key elements of ‘Donald Trump as Polycrisis’ before locating them in the history of predatory capitalism and its consumptogenic necessity. It concludes with a discussion of the potential for alternative economic paradigms, many embedded under the rubric of ‘wellbeing economics.’ It will also launch the newest edition of the People’s Health Movement’s flagship triannual publication, Global Health Watch 7: Mobilizing for Health Justice, from which some of the elements of the talk are taken.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn preparation for this seminar, Dr. Labonté has recommended reading Global Health Watch 7 Introduction and Chapter A1.\n\n\n\nPDF Copies and citations of recommended readings for this seminar and all others for the semester can be found here.\n\n\n\nSpeaker Profile\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRonald Labonté is Professor Emeritus and former Distinguished Research Chair in Globalization and Health Equity in the School of Public Health and Epidemiology, University of Ottawa.
