Protest at George Soros Lecture

George Soros is giving a public lecture at 1pm in the New Lecture Theatre at the London School of Economics tomorrow (Tuesday 31 March) entitled 'What can the G20 do? The case for Special Drawing Rights.' It is open to all on a first come first served basis.

George Soros is a notorious currency speculator. His speculation on sterling led to the black wednesday crisis that sparked the 1992 recession. This recession led to a dramatic rise in unemployment to a level of 10% by 1993. He 'earned' billions from it. He later repeated his success by gambling on South East Asian currencies and contributing to the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 which bankrupted several countries propelling them into asking for IMF loans which led to neoliberal restructuring of their economies. The multibillionaire was convicted for insider trading in France in 2002 and fined $2.3 million.

The New Theatre is on Houghton Street in central London nearest tubes are Holborn and Temple. Maps can be found here  http://www2.lse.ac.uk/mapsAndDirections/Home.aspx. Start the protests early by demonstrating against one of the most notorious capitalists around!
