Four Horsemen showing this Sunday in Alt Banking #OWS
January 8, 2014
This coming Sunday we’re having a special Alt Banking meeting where, instead of having our usual format, we’re all watching Four Horsemen, a recent documentary film put out by Renegade Economists (on twitter as @RenegadeEcon). We’ll first watch the film and then have a discussion about it.
The entire film is available on youtube here, although I paid 5 bucks to download it from this website in preparation for this coming Sunday’s viewing and discussion. Here’s the trailer, it looks amazing:
Feel free to come to Sunday’s meeting, it starts at 2pm and is uptown at Columbia University. Send an email to alt.banking.ows@gmail.com and ask to be added to the email list for details, or go to the alt banking webpage for details.

The 5 authors of the book “Does Capitalism Have a Future?” (Oxford 2013) go beyond this, and discuss alternative futures — even inevitable ones. Randall Collins’ “The End of Middle Class Work: No More Escapes” flatly predicts a revolution (violent or non-violent) in 2030-2045 due to 50% structural unemployment from technological displacement, and 70% not long after that.
