Susan George

January 20, 2007

During my catch up on counterpunch.org I came across the name Susan George.  As I recalled, I read her work in the late 80s so I did a google.  The books she authored at this time that I read were:

George, Susan (1990): Ill Fares the Land, Penguin

George, Susan (1987): A Fate Worse than Debt, Penguin

She is now

"the author of a dozen books translated into many languages. She is vice-president of the French anti-globalisation movement, Attac, and board chairperson of the Transnational Institute in Amsterdam"  (quote from http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/susan_george/profile.html).

I’ll have to read her more recent work.

There are other writers/thinkers that I read in the late 1980s/early 1990s that I would like to re-read or read what they are writing about now.  This includes a female writer who wrote about the evangelical Christian movement in Latin America and I forget her name (it will come to me eventually!)

I saw a reference on counterpunch.org to a Noam Chomsky interview on Democracy Now on January 1st/07 where he talks about politics in Latin America … I will have to look this up.
