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.
OccupyForum presents What is Money? Part II with Jane Smith and Spencer Veale, members of Politics Of Debt Reading group from Strike Debt Bay Area.
We use money every day. We spend most of our time working in order to get money. Many of us are in debt and the only way to repay is with money. For something that is so commonplace and so powerful, we spend very little time really thinking about what money is and where it comes from. Who creates our money and how?
Jane Smith, Occupy Activist involved with Strike Debt and FedUp, and Spencer Veale, a researcher at International Forum on Globalization (IFG), have been studying the monetary system and its links to debt in the Politics of Debt reading group, a Strike Debt Bay Area group that has been meeting for over a year. In addition to breaking down the inner workings of the monetary system, they will present solutions to the problems that stem from money created as debt issued by private banks.
An extensive question and answer period will be allotted. Bring all your burning questions about money.
