'Deep Democracy' Conversation on Capitalism
London, United Kingdom
Capitalism – Here to stay or is there another way?
The Libor scandal
Corporations avoiding tax
Corrupt politicians

If you have a strong opinion on any side of this topic, we invite you to come to this first in a series of conversations.
We're looking for people who work directly within the financial services industry, pro capitalists, anti-capitalists, local politicians and concerned citizens affected either positively or negatively by the capitalist free market system.
The only requirement is that you are willing to listen to other people – and consider opinions that aren't your own.
About deep democracy
Our aim is to achieve a deeper level of openness and understanding on a contentious subject by involving a wide range of interested parties and creating the framework for a productive and constructive conversation in which all opinions are valued and get to be expressed.
We welcome conflicting opinion as a sign of change wanting to happen. Conflict – when embraced in this way and handled professionally – can bring great creativity.
About us
Since the London riots in 2011, our group has been running a number of deep democracy conversations around London, including at the Occupy London encampment at St Pauls's in 2012.
Our first conversation – 'Why did the riots start?' – took place in October 2011 at the Peckham Library. Community members, police officers, a local counselor and local youth workers engaged in a passionate dialogue that led to new ideas about how to address current issues in the community.
