John McMurtry is Professor Emeritus of the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. He's a moral philosopher, ethicist, and vocal activist for global justice, world peace, and international law. His books include Unequal Freedoms, The Cancer Stage of Capitalism, and Value Wars.
Discussion will focus on the civil commons "life economy" alternative - a consistent theme in his writing, including in Value Wars: The Global Market Versus the Life Economy. Also addressed will be the need for a national public bank, the alternative to the private cartel Fed and most other privately owned or controlled central banks.
