Subject: Are we reliving a crash like 1929?

Location: 11th floor, 44 East 32nd Street, Manhattan. Between Park Ave and Madison Ave. Nearest Subway: 33 St - trains 4, 5, 6. From 7 to 10pm.

Additional Information: For over a year now American capitalism has gone through a protracted economic malaise of proportions unseen since the Great Depression of 1929-35. There isn't a month that passes without a dramatic new event in the life of the system, from head-spinning gyrations in the stock markets, to the widespread failure of the most reputable financial institutions, yesterday's symbols of capitalism's alleged vitality. And things have just gotten worse sincethe summer!

What lies behind the financial crisis? Can the bailout save American capitalism? What does this all mean for the working class? There will be a brief presentation from the ICC on these questions followed by several hours of open discussion. All welcome.

Hmm.

This sounds interesting. I have to go into the city Friday for something anyway, so I might check this out.

Well, that sucks. Not the meeting, but the fact that I can't get to it. Suddenly I resent the ski patrol. Very much.
