European Crisis - Resistance & Alternatives
Cambridge 7 March 2013

In the recent years Europe has been in the center of a global socio-economic crisis. In order to understand the impact of the crisis and the potential alternatives to the currently failing policies we organised an open political discussion in Cambridge ath the friends meeting house. In this event, we had the honour to host two distinguished speakers: Dr Stathis Kouvelakis, Reader in Political Theory, King's College London and member of the central political committee of SYRIZA, and Aditya Chakraborty, economics leader writer for the Guardian. We invited our speakers to explore parallels and differences between Greece and the UK, with respect to the handling and the effects of the financial crisis and the possible strategies to overcome it.
