The recent visit of Stoneleigh (aka Nicole Foss) to Ireland disturbed anyone who heard her speak about the imminent collapse of our global financial system. However, while delivering a compelling argument as to how we’ve got to this point and the inevitability of collapse, in her talk she gave little consideration to what will happen during or after such a collapse.
Vinay will explore these questions and examine the structures which underlie social, political, financial and supply-chain systems, suggesting they may not be as vulnerable as some might fear. He will discuss different kinds of fragile systems and society’s exposure to them, as well as mapping certain kinds of basic utilities and working on how they might be stabilised or resurrected in the face of a systemic collapse.
Vinay’s presentation will be followed by a Panel Q&A session chaired by John Gibbons [thinkorswim.ie] and joining Vinay on the panel will be Feasta’s David Korowicz, author of the recent Tipping Point report, and Dougald Hine, a co-founder of the Dark Mountain project.
