SUMMARY:Toronto: Science and Philosophy Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by CFI Canada member Christine Gagnon\, the goal is to provide a friendly\, free-thinking environment in which to discuss books that inspire rewarding conversation on subjects related to science and philosophy. \nIt takes place at our National Headquarters\, 55 Eglinton Ave E.\, Suite 307\, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Suggested donation is $5. There is also an after-event at a location near the office and everyone is invited. \nTHIS MONTH’S BOOK SELECTION: Saving Capitalism: For the Many\, Not the Few by Robert B. Reich \nFrom the author of “Aftershock” and “The Work of Nations\,” his most important book to date–a myth-shattering breakdown of how the economic system that helped make America so strong is now failing us\, and what it will take to fix it. Perhaps no one is better acquainted with the intersection of economics and politics than Robert B. Reich\, and now he reveals how power and influence have created a new American oligarchy\, a shrinking middle class\, and the greatest income inequality and wealth disparity in eighty years. He makes clear how centrally problematic our veneration of the “free market” is\, and how it has masked the power of moneyed interests to tilt the market to their benefit. Reich exposes the falsehoods that have been bolstered by the corruption of our democracy by huge corporations and the revolving door between Washington and Wall Street: that all workers are paid what they’re “worth\,” that a higher minimum wage equals fewer jobs\, and that corporations must serve shareholders before employees…  Ever the pragmatist\, ever the optimist\, Reich sees hope for reversing our slide toward inequality and diminished opportunity when we shore up the countervailing power of everyone else.
