 Night Forum!!\n\nOccupy Forum is an opportunity for open and respectful 
 dialogue on all sides of these critically important issues!\n\nOccupy Forum 
 presents…\n\nHow Do We Build A Better Economic System?\nwith Marco 
 Vangelisti\n\nOccupy Forum is excited to bring back lecturer Marco 
 Vangelisti, who gave a riveting talk at the “What is Money???” forum in 
 August.  As a follow-up, Marco will be presenting the rest of his 
 curriculum. \n\nThe current economic crisis is a recurring phenomenon of 
 capitalism - a structurally unstable economic system. We will examine the 
 current economic crisis in its historical context, how we dealt with the 
 last major crisis in the 1930s and how we are (counter productively) 
 dealing with it now. We will also look at the essential features of 
 capitalism that makes it unstable and destructive to communities and 
 ecosystems. Then, the systemic features of a new economic system that would 
 be compatible with long term health of ecosystems and communities will be 
 presented. Finally, we will explore the path from the current system to one 
 that democratizes and localizes economic activity and anchors wealth and 
 capital formation in the community.\n\nMarco Vangelisti is a former 
 Fullbright scholar in mathematics and economics at UC Berkeley. He is now 
 involved with Slow Money, an organization concerned with steering financial 
 investments toward small food enterprises, organic farms, and local food 
 systems.  Find more information about Marco at www.ek4t.com\n\nTime will be 
 allotted for Q&A, discussion and announcements.\n\nDonations to Occupy 
 Forum to cover costs are encouraged; no one turned away!\n
