Capitalism and the Global Plutocracy
5500 Campanile Drive, San Diego, 92182
Cost: Free
Social inequality -- the gap between the rich and the poor -- is growing at an ever-faster rate. Next year, the richest one percent of the world's population will control more wealth than the bottom 99 percent.
What is behind the growth of inequality? Is it the inevitable outcome of technological change and the increasing interconnectedness of the world, as is claimed by big business politicians?
Join us for a examination of the roots of social inequality in capitalism and a discussion of the alternative to this social order: socialism. In the Aztec Student Union.
