Marco pic• Friday, Aug. 24, 7-9pm: The Big Picture View of Our Economic System
• Saturday, Aug. 25, 10am–3 pm: Money, Finance, and Local Alternatives
$15

Led by Marco Vangelisti of Northern California Slow Money. Marco led a short, fascinating talk at our potluck in April. This will be the extended, get-your-degree-in-one-day version. (It is fine to come for just Friday night or just Saturday.)

We will:
— Learn how our economic and  financial systems work
— Examine the historical context & causes of the current economic crisis
— Hear about ways to relocalize the economic system, including lending & investing, preference purchasing, benefit corporations, worker-owned cooperatives, currencies and time banks
