DFA Live: I want to talk about "Saving Capitalism" with you

Friend --

During my book tour for "Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few", I've heard two polar opposite questions about the title:

1. Those who think capitalism is perfect ask, "Why does it need saving?"
2. Those who think capitalism is broken ask, "Why save it?"

It's a debate that has raged for decades. We're forced to place our trust in the "free market" or in government -- but I believe this is a false choice.

The so-called "free market" is in fact a series of rules agreed upon and enforced by government. We should be asking who influences these rules and who benefits from them, because these policies have helped to create historic levels of income inequality.

Will you join me for a national conference call hosted by my friends at Democracy for America to discuss this critical issue and other hot topics, including the Democratic and Republican presidential primary battles?

Click here to RSVP for a special DFA Live call on Tuesday, October 20. We'll talk about my new book and the big three myths that perpetuate inequality, including what you can do -- and what presidential candidates can do -- to bust these myths.

Right now the cards are stacked in favor of the super rich. Big corporations and billionaires get bankruptcy protections, but no such rules exist for students overburdened with debt. Trade agreements carve out benefits for big pharmaceutical companies and big tobacco without helping American workers.

If our government worked properly we could change these rules and build an economy for the many, but the top 1% have used their economic power to place a stranglehold on our political system.

We must make government and the market work for us, rather than only a few at the top. Please join me for a critical call on how we can exert the power that should be ours.

During this call, I will discuss the the most important economic and political debates raging in America right now as well as take your live questions about what's on your mind. Click here to RSVP and join me for DFA Live on Tuesday, October 20 at 8pm ET.

I'm really looking forward to talking with you on Tuesday -- it's going to be a lot of fun. Together, driven by DFA's relentless focus on income inequality, we can take this movement to the next level and build an economy that works for everyone.
