DESCRIPTION:Thursday  September 9  7 pm  SF  Civilizing the economy with Drinks in 
 Common\n\n\nUSF Professor Marvin Brown challenges San Francisco to think 
 long and hard about the economic behavior that can retrieve the culture 
 from despair, economic divide, and political meltdown. In his 2010 
 manifesto and expostulation of terms, Civilizing the Economy, Brown 
 advocates supplanting the language of property with the term 
 provision.\n\nJoin Drinks in Common, San Francisco's longest-running 6th 
 Street open forum for big-picture politico-economic-environmental paradigm 
 change, as is hosts Prof. Brown on Thursday evening, September 9, 7-9 pm at 
 Rancho Parnassus, 132 6th Street in San Francisco's SoMa District.\n\nThe 
 program is free; remarks begin at 7, followed by Q & A, then open 
 discussion.\n\nFor more information visit

 economy.com":\n\n"When a handful of people thrive while whole industries 
 implode and millions suffer, it is clear that something is wrong with our 
 economy.\n\nIn Civilizing the Economy, Marvin Brown traces the origin of 
 this mistake to early capitalism aptly illustrated by Adam Smith's denial 
 of the central role of slavery in wealth creation. In place of the Smithian 
 property-based economics, Brown proposes a new framework for the global 
 economy that reframes its purpose as the making of provisions instead of 
 the accumulation of property. This bold new vision establishes the civic 
 sphere as the platform for organizing an inclusive economy and a way to 
 move toward a more just and sustainable world."\n\n
