[Qui-deu-a-qui] Comissió CONTINGUTS i dates - Setmana del deute

[Griselda]

Hola!!! Acabo de llegir la nota de la Beverly, quin lio de dates!! Què 
fem, ens quedem amb el 15, 16 i 17? A mi em sembla bé. Ara no puc 
precisar més en els continguts. Ja us enviaré un altre mail. No sí si 
podré hi ser el dimarts però penso que podríem fer-lo per mail.
Ja sé que encara no hem parlat de ponents..Evident ja que els continguts 
no estan treballats però Raúl m'ha fet recordar que Eric ens havia dit 
que Robert Lemoine, gran especialista en deute i gran escriptor és super 
accesible i parla castellà perfectament. Un dels seus llibres és "La 
dette", una novel·la excellent però fortíssima.Es de la redacció de Le 
Monde Diplomatique. Podríem contactar amb ell... deixo aquí el suggeriment.
Petons, Griselda
