DEBUNKING ‘ECONOMICS’

OUR NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE

EA50 Debunking ‘Economics’

1 day

Scared of the word economics? We have been told for forty years that only very clever professors and computers can understand it. Television and newspaper statistics leave us cold. This is all quite deliberate and constructed to alienate us from what economics and the economy really are. People are the economy, the economy is deeply political. Enjoy two days that will equip you with a greater understanding of the real economy and the nonsense that the employers and governments speak about it. What is value? What is a wage? How are prices really set? What is profit? Why are public sector cuts completely unnecessary and dangerous?

EA52 Saving and Growing our Public NHS

1 day

A day-school for every trade unionist. Campaigners and medical practitioners and academics will review the state of the NHS and lead to a discussion about the key campaigns needed to keep on prospering as a public service for us all.
