Is Capitalism Part of the Answer? - 04 - David Graeber speaks
Occupy London held a series of events inspired by the Levellers and Diggers’ demands for social justice, civil rights and equal access to the land.
The programme of events was scheduled between Wed 15th October and Sunday 9th November 2014, and the venue for some events will be St. Mary’s Church in Putney where the debates started on 28 October 1647.
Throughout the New Putney Debates there will be an emphasis on public participation, in the spirit of 1647, when it was said that England was A Nation of Prophets*.
The Debate is facilitated or chaired by Amrita Bhohi,
Proposing the motion is Mark Goyder, founder director of Tomorrows’ Company, the City’s leading think-tank. He is opposed by Professor David Graeber of LSE. The motion is seconded by Dr Dave Dewhurst, of Occupy London, (emphatically speaking in his own capacity).
The concluding argument for the case against capitalism will be Dr Ann Pettifor of PRIME.
