With Professor Costas Lapavitsas, chaired by Professor Mary Davis

Costas Lapavitsas, professor of  economics at London's School of Oriental and Africa Studies, examines the rise of the far right in Italy, France and Germany. He does so in the context of a failing neo-liberal capitalism and the institutional crisis of its political guardian, the European Union.   Professor Lapavitsas was elected to the Greek parliament as a member of Syriza in 2015 and subsequently moved to Popular Unity.  His latest book is The State of Capitalism: Economy, Society and Hegemony
