CRASH COURSE ON THE CRASH
Walker Community United Methodist Church, 3104 - 16th Ave S, Minneapolis
What led up to this economic crisis? Whose fault is this, and why did rich bankers get bailed out?
"Crash Course on the Crash" is an educational event to help the community understand the complex world of the US economy. People's economist Karen Redleaf* will explain the ways deregulation and complex financial dealings have led to the downfall of financial institutions and massive home foreclosures. A panel of representatives of groups most affected by this crisis will discuss their experiences. Get involved in taking back our economy! Music provided by internationally-known folk singer Larry Long.

*Karen Redleaf holds undergraduate and master's degrees in economics. She worked for years as an options trader and hedge fund researcher in the financial industry until she quit in disgust. She specializes in explaining economic concepts in plain language.
