Topic: Replacing Casino Capitalism with sensible economic system
Date/Venue: October 6, 2019 (Sun) 1:30 PM - 3 PM @ Skyline Room, Cerritos Public Library, 18025 Bloomfield Ave, Cerritos, CA, 90703
Capitalism, to quench its voracious
appetite, is devouring global resources at an unparalleled rate while
exploiting millions of poor people in America and billions around the
world. In its March of Folly, capitalism is devastating forests and
earth’s eco-systems while polluting planet’s environment, oceans, rivers
and soil. This obsolete economic system, being the single biggest
driver of climate change--if not stopped and replaced--will ultimately
destroy humanity itself along with all the living species of the planet
earth. Ecological collapse is certain if capitalism continues unabated.
Today, the greatest threat facing humanity is climate change and the
biggest contributor to it is global capitalism. Ecological crisis is the
greatest manifestation of capitalist threat. In America, imposed on its
people for more than two centuries, the unbridled capitalism has
enabled few individuals to amass unimaginable fortunes at the expense of
millions of its people who wallow in poverty. Enormous wealth has
enabled these individuals to hijack American democracy and establish an
oligarchy. Simply put, capitalism is undemocratic, anti-people,
anti-environment and unsustainable. Capitalism’s crusade around the
world--if not stopped and replaced with a modern economic system that is
people and nature-friendly and sustainable --will destroy humanity
itself along with all other living species of this beautiful planet.
Chaitanya Davé describes in detail the fatal flaws of this outdated
economic system that has been imposed on us. He understands that we
cannot solve ecological crisis without confronting capitalism. He knows
that capitalism has become a failed system in terms of economy, ecology
and peoples’ welfare. He proposes a new democratic economy that is fair,
people-friendly, sustainable and in harmony with nature.

Gujarat, Shri Narendrabhai Modi, about six months before he became the
prime minister of the largest democracy in the world, India.
Early
on Chaitanya Dave learned that only through good education and focused
hard work can one come up in life. That is what he did developing his
successful metal finishing company against all odds and very little

for hard work. He derived these and other principles from great men like
Mahatma Gandhiji and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
