DESCRIPTION:Not quite two years ago, looking at a new President-elect and a reeling 
 economy, Peace Action of San Mateo County hosted economist Jack Rasmus, 
 Ph.D. to talk about what the next President needed to do to have a chance 
 to get us out. Dr. Rasmus has updated and collated his outlook on the 
 economy's past, present and what he hopes will be its future into a new 
 book, "Epic Recession: Prelude to Global Depression".\n\nDr. Rasmus will 
 discuss the book and the economy as he sees it, in a talk entitled "Why 
 Economic Recovery Has Not Really Begun - Scenarios for Post-November 
 Elections". He will give an update of events, policies and data that have 
 set in since the book's release last spring. The focus will be on why jobs 
 have not improved, why housing is getting worse again, and why GDP is 
 slowing globally since then...all of which the book had predicted.\n\n"Epic 
 Recession: Prelude to Global Depression" reveals the deep origins of the 
 current economic crisis, explains why President Obama's current policies 
 have failed, and offers an alternative, comprehensive 28-point program for 
 recovery. Dr. Rasmus compares and contrasts this recession with "epic 
 recessions" of the 20th Century. He has developed a new theory, which 
 departs from mainstream economic analysis, of its causes and evolution. Dr. 
 Rasmus will present arguments about the need for a basic restructuring of 
 the U.S. economy through, among other things, a massive job creation 
 program, nationalizing residential housing and consumer credit markets, a 
 restructuring of the tax system, and measures that restore a long-term 
 redistribution of income.\n\nDr. Rasmus is a political economist and author 
 of several books on the U.S. economy. His works include "The War at Home," 
 and "The Trillion Dollar Income Shift - Essays on Income Inequality in 
 America". He is also a freelance journalist focusing on U.S. economic and 
 domestic policy topics; his work appears often in Z Magazine.\n\nBeck Hall 
 is wheelchair accessible.\n
