Book Club for Occupy Finance (#OWS)
September 19, 2013
We in Alternative Banking are pretty proud of our book Occupy Finance, and we’re planning on having a book club associated with it.
The idea is for the author of each chapter to come and lead a discussion about the subject in that chapter. We expect the feedback to improve the topic and be incorporated into the 2nd edition of the book.
Where: The book club will meet from 2-3pm on the Sundays mentioned below, before the regular Alternative Banking meeting, in Room 402 or 409 of the International Affairs Building of Columbia University at Amsterdam and 118th.
Here’s the schedule:
