DESCRIPTION:OCCUPY THE ECONOMY: CHALLENGING CAPITALISM\n\nA new book by David Barsamian 
 and Richard Wolff\n\nBook Talk / Book Signing With David 
 Barsamian\n\n\nToday’s economic crisis is capitalism’s worst since the 
 Great Depression. Millions have lost their jobs, homes and healthcare while 
 those who work watch their pensions, benefits, and job security decline. As 
 more and more are impacted by the crisis, the system continues to make the 
 very wealthy even richer.\n\nIn eye-opening interviews with prominent 
 economist Richard Wolff, David Barsamian probes the root causes of the 
 current economic crisis, its unjust social consequences, and what can and 
 should be done to turn things around.\n\nWhile others blame corrupt bankers 
 and unregulated speculators, the government, or even the poor who borrowed, 
 the authors show that the causes of the crisis run much deeper. They reach 
 back to the 1970s when the capitalist system itself shifted, ending the 
 century-old pattern of rising wages for U.S. workers and thereby enabling 
 the top 1% to become ultra-rich at the expense of the 99%. Since then, 
 economic injustice has become chronic and further corrupted politics. The 
 Occupy movement, by articulating deep indignation with the whole system, 
 mobilizes huge numbers who seek basic change. Occupy the Economy not only 
 clarifies and analyzes the crisis in U.S. capitalism today, it also points 
 toward solutions that can shape a far better future for all.\n\nFREE and 
 open to all. Contributions will be requested.\n\nSponsored by Peninsula 
 Peace and Justice Center\n\n
