We hope that members of this group will add their profiles.  For the time being, the profile for one of us, John Courtneidge, is here as a placeholder.  The group is much more than (just) him!

Report on Initial activities - July and September 2011

At our July (2011) meeting, attended by about seven participants, we initiated our discussion of 'The Spirit Level' by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett - which we finished at the group's September meeting.  Individual comments and (perhaps) a group synthesis will be posted here - techical competecies allowing!).

At that meeting, we decided to use the 'talking stick' method to enable the discussion - something that we used again at our September (2011) we initiated discussion on our next two books 'Thomas Greco's 'The End of Money' and Owen Jones' 'CHAVS - The Demonisation of the Working Class'.

We aim to finish our discussions of these latter two books at the group's next meeting on Tuesday 15 November - when a possible next book (EP Schmacher's out-of-print book on Work) might be started.

Watch this space!
