 e), Christie Stephenson, Kate Storey, James Tansey, Vanessa Timmer, El
 izabeth Ü, and Bob Williams.\nAs climate change accelerates, inequali
 ty increases and the imperatives of global finance are driving specula
 tive bubbles, we want to formulate a new approach to economic thinking
 .\nBecause our political system hasn’t addressed an economic structu
 ral change, can Canada’s universities jump start transition to a new
  economy? This will be a gathering of people who understand there’s 
 something fundamentally wrong with the current economic system and pio
 neers who are already building a new economy. We invite students from 
 universities across the region, citizens and organizations who are int
 erested in building momentum for a new economy movement.\nFREE ($25 R
