Press Release – For Immediate Release “Beyond Banksters”Book tour with author Joyce NelsonSeptember 25th @ 7:00 pmUniversity of VictoriaDavid Turpin Building (DTB) A104 As a part of a 7 city book tour on the Pacific Coast Joyce Nelson will be speaking about her book Beyond Banksters: Resisting the New Feudalism (2016).
Joyce Nelson is an award winning writer and researcher who has published six books. In “Beyond Banksters” she examines the role corporations and private banks are working together to continue the privatization of public infrastructure and services. Politicians have supported this process through laws and regulations that benefit the global elite and their interests while at the same time undermining the ability of people to challenge these trends. Ideologically neo-liberalism has normalised the idea that there is no alternative to market fundamentalism, slashing regulation, the pursuit of profit and the enclosure of the public sphere. Nelson provides hope for resistance and highlights what means are available to people to challenge this “new feudalism”.
Please join us for this important event to understand the role that private banks are playing in our communities and their impact on our daily lives. The role of these banks is linked to the goals set out in international corporate rights agreements such as NAFTA and CETA as well as neoliberal ideology more generally that promotes the ability of corporations to exercise their power while undermining the power of communities and their democratic rights.
