c] Is World War III inevitable? Has it started? In this short film (12 minutes) Fred Harrison provides a long term perspective on the development of tensions leading to the two world wars of the twentieth century. In Fred’s analysis, both had their genesis in booms fuelled by property speculation. Financial leverage provided the fuel for the economic boom leading to the Wall Street Crash and the ensuing depression. The circumstances today are eerily similar. When did World War 3 Begin?
d] Transforming Finance: fresh thinking on democracy, finance and debt – Friday 10th May 2013, 8:30 – 17:30 – Chartered Accountants’ Hall, Moorgate Place, London.
This one day event, supported by an alliance of think tanks and NGOs, will bring together leading academics, policy-makers and campaigners to address these urgent questions:

- How can we end the injustice of privatised gains and socialised losses from our financial system?
- What can we do about unpayable debts?
