> Author David Barsamian speaks Sept. 16-18
>
>             Noted author and radio personality David Barsamian will  
> speak three times in Mendocino County about his newest book, Occupy  
> the Economy: Challenging Capitalism, co-authored with Richard Wolff.
>             David Barsamian is the award-winning founder and  
> director of Alternative Radio, the independent weekly radio series  
> heard for years on KZYX. He has also authored numerous books with  
> Noam Chomsky and many others. He has won the Media Education Award,  
> the ACLU's Upton Sinclair Award for independent journalism, and the  
> Cultural Freedom Fellowship from the Lannan Foundation.
>             In the new Barsamian-Wolff book, Occupy the Economy, the  
> authors show that the causes of the current recession date from the  
> 1970s when the capitalist system shifted from the century-old  
> pattern of rising wages for U.S. workers to one of economic  
> stagnation or decline for most citizens while the top 1% becomes  
> ever richer. Economic injustice has become chronic and politics  
> further corrupted. The Occupy movement, by articulating deep  
> indignation with the whole system, mobilizes huge numbers who seek  
> basic change. Occupy the Economy not only clarifies and analyzes the  
> crisis in U.S. capitalism today, it also points toward solutions  
> that can shape a far better future for all.
>             David Barsamian will speak in Ukiah Sunday, Sept. 16th,  
> at 4 PM at Mendocino College, 1000 Hensley Creek Road, room number  
> 740. North Coast folks can hear him Monday, Sept. 17th, at 7 PM at  
> the Caspar Community Center. And Barsamian will address South Coast  
> residents Tuesday, Sept 18th, at 7 Pm at the Community Library in  
> Point Arena.
>             Barsamian's three talks are benefits for KZYX, Mendocino  
> County’s public radio station, and the Move To Amend Coalition of  
> Mendocino County, which has placed on this November's county ballot  
> a proposition that lets voters clarify that constitutional rights  
> are intended only for human beings, not corporations, and that money  
> is not "free speech" and can be regulated by law.
