It’s Our Money: Making the Economy Work for Us

The top 1 percent captured 95 percent of the income gains in the past five years. The economy is not working for the average person. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Join a panel discussion with Richard D. Wolff, professor of economics at Emeritus U. Mass., and visiting professor of The New School; the executive director of Public Banking Institute Marc Armstrong; founder and coordinator of Green Worker Cooperatives Omar Freilla; and the Other 98% organizer Alexis Goldstein as they explore economic approaches that respect community and serve the 99 percent.

Also learn about efforts on the ground to create democratic economic structures, and what you can do to participate in this new economy.

Moderated by J.A. Myerson, independent journalist and author.
