[Peace-discuss] CTFC reading group

[C. G. Estabrook]

I found last night's first meeting of the AWARE group reading “Capitalism in the Twenty-First Century” (Piketty) pleasant and successful. 

There were a half dozen participants and room for more. 

It was tentatively decided to meet regularly on Wednesdays at 5:30pm at 5 Litchfield Lane, Champaign. 

Reading to date for Wednesday 13 May is pp. 1-71 = Introduction, and Part One: Income and Capital / 1. Income and Output

There are some awful (both senses) reviews of Piketty out there. Here’s a good one:
