Marv Waterstone

SaddleBrooke Freethinkers are proud to have Marv Waterstone speak on “Capitalism and Militarism” on Sunday, April 19. The meeting is held at the SaddleBrooke One Clubhouse, Vermillion Room with a coffee social at 9:15 a.m. and the program beginning at 9:45 a.m.
Capitalism and militarism have long influenced each other in powerful ways. Prof. Waterstone will guide us through the history and evolution of this relationship.
Marv Waterstone is professor emeritus in the University of Arizona’s School of Geography, Development & Environment and former director of the university’s Graduate Interdisciplinary Program in Comparative Cultural and Literary Studies. His research and teaching explore the political and economic forces that shape global systems, with a focus on capitalism, social justice, and transformative change. He is the co-author, with Ian Shaw, of Wageless Life: A Manifesto for a World Beyond Capitalism (Univ of Minn Press, 2019) and, with Noam Chomsky, of Consequences of Capitalism: Manufacturing Discontent and Resistance (Haymarket Books, 2021).
SaddleBrooke Freethinkers provides a forum for the responsible search for truth and meaning in understanding and solving human problems by applying science and reason.

We strive to achieve these goals through meetings, lectures and discussions.
