50 years ago, the nations of the Third World came together to propose a vision for international cooperation in trade, finance, and technology — and won a UN Declaration for the Establishment of a New International Economic Order. Fifty years later, we are again in a moment of rapid geopolitical transformation — both ripe with the possibility for a more just order to emerge and fraught with the risk of its violent fragmentation. How will we confront the crises of climate change, extreme poverty, and escalating war that threaten billions of lives and livelihoods across the planet?
 
In this lecture, the Progressive International’s David Adler offers a world tour of present efforts to redress those crises — and construct the New International Economic Order where their predecessors failed.
