Friday, 27 January 2012, 19.00 – 20.30


Webcast

 
As the Occupy protests that have spread around the world demonstrate, there is growing frustration with capitalism's failure to benefit the many, rather than just a few. Some argue that capitalism as it stands is an unsustainable system that puts huge strain on the environment and prompts crises that profoundly damage our societies.

  3. Where are our priorities when governments bail out banks but leave citizens to struggle?
