Two London meetings with John Holloway, 24th & 26th October: (Please 
publicise widely, thanks!, and apologies for any cross-posting...)

ANARCHIST BOOKFAIR/MUTE MAGAZINE DISCUSSION, 4-6pm, Saturday 24th 
October, London

Capitalism’s Present Crisis - How Will It End?

The capitalist system is facing years of crisis and social instability. 
This raises two questions:

1) what caused the crisis? Was it ‘greedy bankers’, the natural 
tendencies of the capitalist system, or the resistance of the working 
class?

2) how will the crisis end? Will it be with more state regulation, more 
cuts in living standards or with working class revolution?

The Anarchist Bookfair and Mute magazine have invited three speakers to 
debate these issues:

Paul Mason, a presenter on BBC’s Newsnight, and author of Meltdown: The 
End of the Age of Greed


John Holloway, author of Change The World Without Taking Power 
_<http://libcom.org/library/change-world-without-taking-power-john-holloway>_ 
and Crack Capitalism (forthcoming). /NB See below for a further meeting 
with John Holloway/.

William Dixon, Mute magazine contributor.

The discussion will take place at the Skeel Lecture Theatre, Anarchist 
Bookfair, Queen Mary & Westfield college, Mile End Road, London E1, Mile 
End tube.

CRACK CAPITALISM - A DISCUSSION WITH JOHN HOLLOWAY
7-9pm, Monday 26th October, London

At the height of the anti-capitalist movement, John Holloway’s book 
Change The World without Taking Power 
_<http://libcom.org/library/change-world-without-taking-power-john-holloway>_provoked 
an international debate*. Eight years later, after the failure of the 
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, combined with the failure of the 
capitalist economy, anti-capitalism is back on the agenda.

John Holloway will introduce his forthcoming book, Crack Capitalism, 
followed by a discussion on how we can change the world without 
repeating the tragedies of twentieth century socialism.

Come and join the debate.
