Alternative Radio Host, Author David Barsamian to Speak Sept. 19

David Barsamian, founder and director of Alternative Radio and author of "Targeting Iran," will speak later this month on the current economic climate in the U.S.

In particular, Barsamian will discuss his interviews with Richard D. Wolff, professor emeritus of economics at U. Mass, and visiting professor at the New School University.

Barsamian's talk will be at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 19, at Cross & Crown Lutheran Church 5475 Snyder Ln., Rohnert Park.

There is a $10.00 donation for admission:  Students, Seniors, and Occupiers $5— No one will be turned away.

Barsamian is best known for his interview books with Noam Chomsky, including "What We Say Goes." Author of "Capitalism Hits the Fan," Barsamian says that today’s economic crisis is capitalism’s worst since the Great Depression.

"Millions have lost their jobs, homes and healthcare while those who work watch their pensions, benefits, and job security decline," he says. "As more and more are impacted by the crisis, the system continues to make the very wealthy even richer."

David’s new book, "Occupy the Economy: Challenging Capitalism: Interviews with Richard Wolff," will be available for sale.
