>Hi All,
>
>In 1941, George Orwell proposed a 10:1 Maximum 
>Wage: A man with £3 a week and a man with £1500 
>a year can feel themselves fellow creatures, 
>which the Duke of Westminster and the sleepers 
>on the Embankment benches cannot.
>
>
>
>While the current Duke of Westminster chooses to 
>work (he runs his families' sprawling 
><http://www.grosvenorestate.com/>UK and 
>international property portfolio through 
>multiple companies), it is his choice. A choice 
>denied most people - access to the means to life 
>is conditional on paid employment.
>
>
>
>Inequality, work, employment and access to 
>wealth we are denied will be explored in "A 
>performance publishing extravaganza" in East 
>London next Saturday, 12th March 2016.

>The Maximum Wage Print Production Line runs for 20mins every hour.
>Wages paid to players can be used in the venue 
>and in participating Hackney businesses.
>Each players wage is determined by their 
>randomly allocated status and a spin of the wheel of fortune!
>Will your earnings be capped at 10:1? 100:1?
>Or Lets see what you would have won!
>Does life seem like a gameshow?
>A game of skill and chance?
>It is now!

>Rising income inequality has been a particular 
>feature of the last 35 years and has become much 
>more acute since the 2008 credit crisis. People 
>without money or property have suffered a war of 
>repression. 
><http://freecriticalthinking.org/daily-pickings/1342-humans-need-not-apply>Denial 
>of access to the commons and 
><http://freecriticalthinking.org/daily-pickings>usury 
>(interest on money) are the primary drivers of 
>inequality and these will be explored through 
>the medium of performance art. Bringing real economics to the people.
>
>Renegade economist Steve Keen refers to an 
>economics degree as (in the UK) "a £27,000 
>lobotomy" - so called economic experts could 
>learn a thing or two by participating in the Maximum Wage event.
>
>Real power lies with the people, When people 
>understand the "game" of political economy 
>redressing the imbalances becomes a realistic 
>possibility. Thinking and making is very much a 
>feature of what

>exploring in Critical Thinking and The Maximum 
>Wage event is in the same spirit.

"The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic poison which 
alienates the possessor from the community" Carl Jung

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be 
revealed; and nothing hid that shall not be made known. What I tell 
you in darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye hear in the 
ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
