The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. We are delighted to help welcome noted social scientist and activist Raj Patel back to Seattle. At Elliott Bay, we hosted him for Stuffed and Starved, his brilliant dissection of the skewed global food system. He is here tonight with a major new work, The Value of Nothing: How to Reshape Market Society and Redefine Democracy (Picador). "As we confront the crisis in the worldview of orthodox economics, Raj Patel offers us a whole new way to think about price and value. Bracingly written and full of surprises, The Value of Nothing is itself invaluable, showing us a path out of the darkness of the economic woods." - Michael Pollan. "With great lucidity and confidence in a dazzling array of fields, Raj Patel reveals how we inflate the cost of things we can (and often should) live without, while assigning absolutely no value to the resources we all need to survive. This is a deeply thought-provoking book about the dramatic changes we must make to save the planet from financial madness—argued with so much humor and humanity that the enormous tasks ahead feel both doable and desirable." - Naomi Klein. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m., or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (or 1-800-838-3006). Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). Preferred seating for Town Hall members.
