The cause of the crisis and the opportunites it presents

category international | anti-capitalism | opinion/analysis author Thursday October 02, 2008 17:46author by Paul Bowmanauthor email wsm_ireland at yahoo dot com Report this post to the editors

A very detailed talk on the cause of the current world financial crisis that starts off by explaining the background economics in an easy to understand manner, moves on to the role the war and other events apart from the sub-prime crash played and concludes with a look at what opportunities have been created for anarchist by this sequence of events.

This initial posting is an m4a file which means if you listen to it on an iPod or similar device you can watch the slides referred to in the talk on the screen. You don't have to see the slides to follow the talk, it just helps. In a short while we'll be posting a mp3 version for those who can't listen to m4a files. We'll also be posting the recording of the question and answer session - the 20mb file limit of indymedia.ie audio files meant it wasn't possible to include this with the talk itself.

The first few slides that accompany the talk have been posted with the article, the remainder will follow with the additional files.
