Post-Capitalism 2015: Rethinking Crisis, Culture, and Politics
6 November 2015, Leeds Beckett University
http://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/events/faculty-events/postcapitalism-2015-rethinking-crisis-culture-and-politics-all-day-event/

The beginning of the twenty-first century has been turbulent and traumatic, with a global Financial Crisis, a prolonged depression, and deep cuts in public spending under the aegis of ‘austerity’. How can we emerge from this period as a fairer, more equal society?

This one-day event aims to engage participants in dialogue about the future of capitalism at a transformative moment, one in which current models have failed and new ways forwards must be forged. Programmed sessions will consider strategies, opportunities and innovations towards a sustainable and more equal post-capitalist society.

Across the day, delegates will engage in dialogue and participate in a unique combination of cutting-edge talks, interactive events, workshops and boot-camps including:

Speakers:

• Paul Mason (Economics Editor, Channel 4 News).
• Prof Alex Nunn, Leeds Beckett University.
• Dr Stephen Kinsella, University of Limerick.
• Dr Peter Knight, University of Manchester.
