A Cloudland Collective public meeting exploring the ideas of French economist Thomas Piketty and his book "Capital: In the 21st Century".

PANEL:
Speakers in order, Dr. Mike Beggs, a lecturer in the department of political economy from Sydney University, writes about the evolution of economic policy and about political economic explanations for social inequality. He writes in academic journals, for Jacobin magazine and online. John Quiggin, professor of economics at the University of Queensland, who blogs, wrote a column for many years in the Australian Financial Review and like Mike, also writes for Jacobin magazine. He is well known around these parts not only for his articles and books, like the most recent, entitled “zombie economics” published by Princeton Press, but also for his appearance on the back of a truck in front of street marches.
