A panel discussion with Professor Richard Wolff and Dr. Dan Bednarz where each will look at the crisis through a different lens; Professor Wolff accounting for the economic and political account of the crisis and Dr. Bedarz accounting for an ecological perspective.

Dan Bednarz, PhD, is building a consortium among public health and health care stakeholders to address the fiscal and ecological crises now unfolding. He has written extensively on preventive and treatment medicine in a post-petroleum world and on the need to view energy, climate change, water, population, and food as aspects of The Bottleneck of problems confronting humanity in the 21st century.
