Dear All

Quick reminder about the meeting with Andreas Malm this Wednesday 16th.
November 6.30pm, Student Central, Malet St, London, WC1E 7HY

A great opportunity to hear Andreas speak about his book, Fossil Capital,
now winner of the 2016 prestigious Isaac Deutscher prize.

Also a great opportunity to discuss fighting for an alternative to Fossil
Capital in the era of a Trump presidency.

Book tickets here, more details about the meeting below.

alternative-to-fossil-capital-tickets-28930075635

Andreas Malm will outline some of the key ideas in his book and join a
conversation about the urgent need for change. Andreas Malm's brilliant
book Fossil Capital suggests that the origin of the current climate crisis
can be found in the coupling of fossil fuels with capitalism in 19th century
industrial Britain.

More provocatively he argues that the choice of coal to power early
industrial capitalism was a conscious, rather than inevitable decision.
This choice and the resultant consequence of global warming, were made in
order to undermine and challenge working class resistance to early 19th
century capitalism.

In the 21st century with temperatures continuing to rise and 2016 once
again the hottest year on record by some margin, the issue of an
alternative to Fossil Capital is more urgent than ever.
The CACC trade union group are delighted to be in conversation with Andreas
Malm to discuss this question. Is there an alternative to the dangerous
relationship between fossil fuels and capitalism? What does an alternative
look like? Is it possible? Can trade unions play a central role? Hope you
are able to join us.
