Thursday 12th February 12:00am, Kensington

Through our strategic alliance with Intelligence Squared, Pi has secured some tickets to attend two of its most popular debates in their 2009 calendar.  The first is: "The era of American dominance is over: The global financial crisis has called into question the viability of the American model of capitalism. Iraq and Afghanistan have shown the limits of American might. The spending of the American government is almost entirely dependent on the savings of Chinese factory workers.  It’s high noon for the United States of America - can it face down its rivals and stay on top?"  Speakers for the motion include John Gray and Pankaj Mishra.  Speakers against the motion are Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, Sir Lawrence Freedman, and Sir Christopher Meyer.  Please see www.intelligencesquared.com for further details. 

RSVP to Nicola Middleton if you are interested in attending.
