Appetite for Change, Financial market reform with Ann Pettifor

We are living through a collision of overlapping crises: an increasing cost-of-living, climate change and a deepening state of political disillusionment. While these issues are often treated as isolated government failures, our next guest argues that they share a single, predatory origin: the Global Casino, commonly known as the international financial market.

We are excited to welcome Ann Pettifor, the political economist who famously predicted the 2007/08 crash. Drawing on findings from her major works, The Case for a Green New Deal and The Global Casino, we will tell the story of the “top dogs” of finance and the “pretend-powerless” governments that gamble away at the Casino table.

Join us inside the E-Hall on Tuesday, February 17th, from 13:00-14:00, to find out about how to reclaim our environment, our economy and our democracy from the players in the Global Casino.
