The London Global Table on August 29th – 12-2 at SES * press ‘Here’ below for directions. Rather a lot of ‘MATTERS IN THE AIR’ to be viewed in addition to these immediate references.

As well as items on that general list on the site above, we will ensure we attend this Wednesday to these items at least:

1. 1.58 minute on ‘critical mass’ Perhaps each ‘lodge meeting’ or ‘permanent seminar’ could open with these 2 mins of rousing hopefulness….

We start the final chapter of David Graeber’s Debt, The First 5000 Years this week by going beyond the ‘bad apples’ line at the deeper, systemic truths which underlie the rottenness of finance capital and indeed of the idolization of competition. Gary Weiss speaks on his book, Ayn Rand Nation and entrepreneur and journalist Margaret Heffernan speaks on Money, Power and Competition.

3. Challenges set us by Frank Taylor [Runnymede Project] , Mario Molinari [Food as common basis and netry point for a new economy] and Jasper Tomlinson [ future thrust of CCMJ] lie before us; and again your responses would be valued.

FROM SINGLE ACT TO CRITICAL MASS

What’s been done today
and what awaits the morrow
if of 187 on this list each acts
the mass moves towards critical;
and change we despair of may yet come.

Yours along the pilgrims’ costly way,

Peter
