Occupy Forum | SF
The Occupy Forum is a weekly event and a space to discuss issues of economic inequality and social justice.
Every Monday, there is a new topic and typically there is a guest speaker before the discussion. Come down and speak your mind about the critical issues we face today. It is free and open to all, although donations are encouraged.
Occupy Forum brings back lecturer Marco Vangelisti, who gave a riveting talk at the “What is Money???” forum in August. As a follow-up, Marco will be presenting the rest of his curriculum.
The current economic crisis is a recurring phenomenon of capitalism – a structurally unstable economic system. Examine the current economic crisis in its historical context, how we dealt with the last major crisis in the 1930s and how we are (counter productively) dealing with it now. Then, explore the path from the current system to one that democratizes and localizes economic activity and anchors wealth and capital formation in the community.
Marco Vangelisti is a former Fullbright scholar in mathematics and economics at UC Berkeley. He is now involved with Slow Money, an organization concerned with steering financial investments toward small food enterprises, organic farms, and local food systems.
