Last Meeting: May 28, 2020

About 15-20 people joined for this meeting. At this meeting we enjoyed songs, poetry recital, jokes, along with discussion of issues arising from COVID-19. Mahmood mentioned about a conference in Vienna on Degrowth, a strategy for limiting the overall growth of the economy in a sustainable and equitable way. A discussion followed what it will mean for the developed and the developing countries.


This Meeting: June 4, 2020

We will have our usual songs and poetry recital. Invariably, there will be some questions and discussion about how coronavirus could affect our lives in the months, and perhaps years, to come.

Prabir will inform us about how people are coping with the after-effects of the recent hurricane.

Please let me know well in advance, if you would like to make a presentation on some topic of common interest.
