Invitation to Public Lecture: Understanding the Present – Peak Oil, Food, Credit, & the End of Growth<\/p>\n
with David Korowicz, Feasta (the Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability) & Risk-Resilience<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chaired by John Gibbons
\nA recent UN FAO (Food and Agricultural Organisation) index measuring the price of a basket of food commodities surpasses the 2008 record and oil prices again rise above $100 a barrel.\u00a0 This is in the context of a battered world economy and a credit crisis that, far from being resolved, has merely been displaced. Food and energy prices are pushing popular revolutions in the Gulf and North Africa, which in turn are pushing up food and energy prices.<\/p>\n
Is this a passing phase, or are we on the edge of a profound and systemic transition in the global economy? What does it mean for Ireland? How might we move forward?<\/p>\n
Where: The Greenhouse, St Andrew St, Dublin 2
