Wed 17th November 2010: Money & Spirituality: Seminar with internationally famous founder of rebirthing Leonard Orr: Networking from 6pm (food provided by Hari Krishna), Introductions at 7pm chaired by Peter challen, Seminar starts at 8pm, at The School of Oriental & African Studies (SOAS), Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG, organised by Raga Woods in collaboration with LETSlink.
n this seminar, Leonard will explore his thesis that the global monetary crisis we face today is a result of spiritual problems ... in that until people own their natural divinity they have trouble realizing that they have the right and power to print their own money. Until individuals print their own money and master money, they can't give government the power to print money and we remain trapped in the bankers' system. Realizing that we have the same power as the bankers to print money is basic to financial and economic freedom. A rational money system will support farmers and the services businesses and adult education as well as goods. We all deserve equal access to money and capital to finance our work and our great ideas. Money scarcity is destroying our civilization and our economic well being, not to mention our environment, because people are "forced" by money scarcity to do work that is not in harmony even with their ethics as well as values to survive in the bankers scarcity system. Adult spiritual education can be helpful to people who haven't found their divine gifts to the world. When they do find them, the money system can support them if it is designed to do this. Leonard will illustrate these ideas with actual examples, and we will also discuss follow-up action in terms of community currency projects, in London and elsewhere.our Enquiry Form.

Thursday 18th November 2010, 6.30-8pm at Hong Kong Theatre, Clement House, LSE: Zero-Sum World: Power and Prosperity in the Age of Anxiety - with Gideon Rachman:
In this lecture to mark the publication of his new book, Gideon Rachman argues that the global economic crisis has changed the logic of international relations and ushered in a new and more dangerous era. This will be characterised by rising tensions between America and China and a failure to deal effectively with global problems such as climate change and nuclear proliferation. Gideon Rachman is the chief foreign affairs commentator for the Financial Times. This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first come, first served basis. For any queries email events@lse.ac.uk or call 020 7955 6043.

 

Thursday 25th November 2010: 6.30-8pm: Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building: Zombie Economics: How Dead Ideas Still Walk Among Us - with Professor John Quiggin chaired by Professor Andrea Prat
The recent financial crisis laid bare many of the assumptions behind market liberalism--the theory that market-based solutions are always best, regardless of the problem. For decades, their advocates dominated mainstream economics, and their influence created a system where an unthinking faith in markets led many to view speculative investments as fundamentally safe. The crisis seemed to have killed off these ideas, but they still live on in the minds of many-- even some of those charged with cleaning up the mess. John Quiggin explains how these dead ideas still walk among us--and why we must find a way to kill them once and for all if we are to avoid an even bigger financial crisis in the future. John Quiggin is professor of economics at the University of Queensland in Australia. This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first come, first served basis. For any queries email events@lse.ac.uk or call 020 7955 6043.
