[Robert Daines]

* *You are invited to a talk *'Fixing our Broken Economy'* given by Peter
Verity


   - Where - Quaker Meeting House (St James' Street) S1 2EW
   - When - Thursday March 14th, 7:30pm
   - Cost - free, but donations invited to cover costs


The following were recently reported on the front page of the Sheffield
Telegraph (28th Feb)

   - closure of Don Valley Stadium
   - proposed closure of Stocksbridge Leisure Centre
   - cuts in the funding of early years and children's services
   - up to 14 of 27 community libraries threatened
   - less money for cultural activities and entertainment will hit
   Sheffield Theatres, Museums Sheffield and The Showroom
   - £10.5m due to come from the social care budget, reducing some people's
   home support

We have 2.5 million unemployed, and we have empty factories, offices and
shops – everything we need in fact to produce the goods and services
society needs. Yet the economy seems to be unable to produce enough real
wealth for lack of money. Where does money come from? Who creates it? And
what is the link between banking and our failing economy?

This talk looks at how our debt-based money system is the root cause of
many of our economic problems, and explains the Positive Money proposals to
reform and democratise our money supply.

Note - refreshments will be available from 7:15 (cost 50p), and the talk
starts at 7:30 (drinks are not allowed to be taken in to the lecture room)
