<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Capitalism’s Present Crisis - How Will It End? </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The capitalist system is facing years of crisis and social instability. This raises two questions: </DIV>
<DIV>1) what caused the crisis? Was it ‘greedy bankers’, the natural tendencies of the capitalist system, or the resistance of the working class? </DIV>
<DIV>2) how will the crisis end? Will it be with more state regulation, more cuts in living standards or with working class revolution? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Anarchist Bookfair and <SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Mute </SPAN>magazine have invited three speakers to debate these issues: </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Paul Mason</SPAN>, a presenter on BBC’s <SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Newsnight</SPAN>, and author of <SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Meltdown: The End of the Age of Greed </SPAN><BR><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">John Holloway</SPAN>, author of <SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic"><A class=bb-url href="http://libcom.org/library/change-world-without-taking-power-john-holloway" jQuery1255351485843="20">Change The World Without Taking Power</A></SPAN> and <SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Crack Capitalism </SPAN>(forthcoming).
