An Evening with Colin Hines & Ralf Becker discussing the ‘Credit Crunch’

Colin Hines has worked in the environmental movement for over 30 years on the issues of population, food, new technology, unemployment and nuclear proliferation. He was the Co-ordinator of Greenpeace International’s Economics Unit having worked for the organisation for 10 years. Most recently he has focussed on the adverse environmental and social effects of international trade and the need to solve these problems by emphasising the rebuilding and rediversification of local economies – a process termed localisation.

Ralf Becker is coordinator of the Regional Currency Association advisory board and an advisor to a number of regional currency initiatives. He was a member of the working group developing the Club of Rome report on Money and Sustainability – The Missing Link.
