SUMMARY:Economic crisis and austerity: the Role of Technology - October 14t
 h 2013
DESCRIPTION:The ongoing financial crisis has exposed the fragility of the b
 anking and finance system\, and the 2008 crash would have been impossible 
 without the 'dark magic' of computer-generated derivatives. But while we c
 ontinue to debate banker's bonuses\, automated High Frequency Trading has 
 taken over the stock market\, creating new volatility as algorithms comple
 te trades in milliseconds.  Back in the real world of austerity created 
 by the crisis\, automation is contributing to public sector job loss\, as 
 workers are replaced with machines.  How can we get technology to serve p
 eople not profit?\n\nIntroductions from:\n\n\n\n\n 	Dave Dewhurst\, Occupy
  London Economics Working Group\n 	Speakers from Corporate Watch and Kaput
 \, tbc\n\n\n
