Maonomics

EIC / IW hosts globally renowned economist Professor Loretta Napoleoni in Edinburgh to talk Maonomics....

We are delighted to be hosting this mesmerising speaker on her first trip to Scotland, as she introduces her latest book, Maonomics - why Chinese Communists make better Capitalists than we do.

In this lecture, which coincides with the publication of her latest book Maonomics, Professor Napoleoni will argue that current global economic turmoil is the beginning of the collapse of capitalism and the victory of "communism with a profit motive" (Commi-Capitalism), that the balance of power in the world is shifting from West to East, and that the Chinese Communist economic model is winning out over the Western system.

Loretta Napoleoni is an expert on terrorist financing and money laundering, and advises several governments and international organizations on these issues. She also advises several banks on strategies to counter the current economic crisis. She is a regular media commentator for CNN, Sky and the BBC, and writes about terrorism, money laundering and the economy for several European national papers including El Pais, The Guardian and Le Monde.

The event is to be held in Edinburgh on 25th April and more information on timings and venue will follow soon. Please register your interest here if you would like to attend what is likely to be a heavily subscribed event.

Independent Women has joined with Breakthrough Breast Cancer to sponsor the Women in Business lunch, held by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce. Looking at the importance of keeping mind and body healthy as part of a successful work and home life, the guest speaker is Judy Gibson from the Scottish Government. We felt this fits in perfectly with our ‘Six Stages of Women' ethos and the approach we take, which is that managing your money has an important role to play in helping support your overall health and wellbeing. However it is only a part of your day to day world and needs to be addressed and understood in the context of what works best for every aspect of your life - now and in the future.
