DESCRIPTION:WHAT: ISR Magazine Discussion--"US Economic Crisis: Causes & 
 Solutions"\nWHERE: 110 Capp St. (in SF, between 16th and 17th St. on Capp 
 near 16th St. BART)\nWHEN: Wednesday, April 8 at 7pm\n\nThe economic crisis 
 continues to worsen, despite projections from the Obama administration and 
 mainstream economists that the worst is behind us.  Each stimulus package 
 from Congress seems to do very little to stem the tide.  It is more 
 important now than ever to understand and have an analysis of the economics 
 of capitalism, why it continues to fail us, but reward executives; why even 
 in the midst of the last economic recovery, regular working people were 
 worse off than 30 years before. \n\n\nFred Moseley, a Marxist economist at 
 Mount Holyoke College, offers in his ISR article, a lucid analysis of the 
 origins of the current economic crisis in the United States. “The 
 situation suggests,” writes Moseley, “that the capitalist financial 
 system, left on its own, is inherently unstable, and can only ‘avoid’ 
 crises by being bailed out by the government, at the taxpayers’ expense. 
 There is a double indictment here: the capitalist financial system is 
 inherently unstable and the necessary bailouts are economically 
 unjust.”\n \nIn order to begin to change the way the system works, we 
 need to also be a part of dicussions that help us clarify just what is 
 wrong in order to help craft a plan for action.  We invite you to be a part 
 of this discussion.  Find the article here,
