Details:
We withdraw it from automatic teller machines, carry it in our wallet, and give it to other people as we purchase their goods and services for money. While we all love to own it, and while it works well as a convenient medium of exchange, it has little value in storage. In fact, into the future, the long term value of our beloved money has little to do with the little numbers on our accounts, but will be solely dependent on our ability to keep our global society and natural environment in a state of health and wellbeing. Our current economic crisis, resulting to a large degree from the fact that banks create loans (money) out of thin air and from the unfair distribution of income and wealth, is now bringing the Wall Street economy in line with the real economy - an economy burdened by an increasing pressure on marginal returns.
Attend this talk to find out:
How much money will we all have to lose before we reach a stable economy?
What is the nature of a sustainable monetary system - one that may support stable and equitable economies?
