DESCRIPTION:As an occasional guest at PASMC events, political economist Jack Rasmus 
 always has a unique perspective on the national and world economy, and on 
 Sunday, June 12, we will again seek his view of what to look for and what 
 forces will operate that could determine our economic future. Dr. Rasmus's 
 talk is entitled, "Why the Global Economy is Slowing and the U.S. Is 
 Heading for Another Recession".\n\nDr. Rasmus will cover themes such as 
 downward economic trends around the world, and the manipulation of facts 
 and figures sometimes employed by official entities to dress up the 
 numbers. He will of course focus on the U.S. economy and offer a not-often 
 seen picture of our job market, investment trends and consumption trends, 
 resulting in a situation of slow growth.\n\nWhat are the causes? What part 
 of what Dr. Rasmus calls the "epic recession" of 2007-2009 has to do with a 
 slow economy? What kinds of policies are in place that hinder a healthier 
 situation? He will try to answer these questions and more on June 
 12.\n\nWith a new set of national elections coming up, he also will offer 
 prospects that a new administration and Congress might face - and a picture 
 of an electorate poised to register its dissatisfaction with the economic 
 status quo.\n\nDr. Jack Rasmus has a Ph. D in Political Economy and teaches 
 economics and politics at St. Mary's College in Moraga. He is the author 
 and producer of various fictional and nonfiction works...the latest of 
 which, from earlier this year, is called "Systemic Fragility in the Global 
 Economy". Dr. Rasmus will have copies of the book to sell at one-third off 
 the regular price.\n\nThe June 12 event is at 7 PM at the Unitarian 
 Universalists of San Mateo, 300 E. Santa Inez Avenue (at Ellsworth - the 
 side on which people should enter) in San Mateo. Admission is free, 
 contributions will be welcome. The UUSM is wheelchair accessible.\n\nFree, 
 contributions welcome.\n
