WEBINAR: Money Talks with Ann Pettifor

The global financial system is invisible but powerful. Join us for an evening with Ann Pettifor, who will talk about her new book The Global Cassino, and unpack how the unregulated nature of our global financial system shapes our lives and our planet. 

The role of the financial system remains poorly understood, but has a huge impact on the cost of essentials like food, energy and housing, as well as driving inequality and ecological harm.

Together we will learn more about these issues and explore what we can do as a movement of individuals and church communities, to help shape a financial system that is greener and fairer.
