<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10pt"><i><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"open sans"">A two-day
symposium featuring talks, workshops and performances that confront the notion
that finance is too big to fail.</span></i><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"open sans""><span> </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"open sans"">Background</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"open sans"">After Bitcoin forked, and remains in tatters, it is
now blockchain technology that ignites visions of deregulated and decentralized
organization, while it is simultaneously sanitized by commercial banks.
Meanwhile <span style="color:rgb(33,33,33)">the sharing and “service” economy
lost its innocuous veneer and streaming services have failed and continue to
fold the music industry. Despite the mutation of crowdfunding into
crowd-equity and platform co-operatives, artists and designers continue to
struggle to financially support themselves. All the while the </span>financial
mediators of the previous centuries continue to drag themselves onward into
global debt. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"open sans";color:rgb(33,33,33)">We are failing better, nonetheless. Workers’ unions
are on the rise and numerous collectives are working together to collectively ensure
their own wellbeing and build alternative models of social governance. The
aspirations of grassroots organizations such as DiEM25, that promise to liberate
social democracy from the stronghold of global finance, are gaining momentum
across Europe. People’s parties such as Podemos and the Five Star Movement get
closer to an electoral majority. This momentum has thrust radical economic
alternatives onto center stage and some governments in Europe have begun
experimenting with progressive policies such as a living working wage and a
universal basic income.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"open sans"">MoneyLab #3 will assess the ambition of financial provocations
that have ignited to establish a terrain of social and political reform, from
decentralized networks to state governments. The rift we find ourselves in goes
much further than 'the banks’ and financial retaliation can be considered more
than attempts to fail better.</span></p>
