Where to start first? So much has happened: Our biggest conference to date, we launched our new book, some amazing statements from the financial regulator, and incredible media coverage…
1) Videos from Positive Money's conference
The conference this year was about how we can build a popular movement demanding a reform of the money system. It was the biggest money reform gathering in our lifetimes, worldwide; almost 300 people attended the sold-out conference. Our new book Modernising Money was launched there.
You can read the detailed report here .
And here you can watch the first video from the conference. [as above]
* We’ll release the next videos shortly.
2) Breakthough Historic Speech by Adair Turner
The Chairman of the Financial Services Authority, Adair Turner, advocated in his recent speech entitled “Debt, Money and Mephistopheles: How do we get out of this mess?” a policy that is very close to our proposals. You can read our comments here .
3) Financial Times – this is huge!
Something that was impossible just 2 years ago is happening now. There were two extraordinarily good articles published in Financial Times:
The case for helicopter money
The Chief economics editor for Financial Times has written an article in which he debunks some of the myths about banking and monetary policy that we have been talking about since 2010.
Pre-school lessons for bankers
The book " Where does money come from? " was quoted in this article discussing how bankers need to educate themselves about how money is created before they are allowed to teach in schools, a recently proposed plan.
4) Monetary reform in the World
There's lots of great mainstream media coverage on money creation abroad too:
New Zealand - A programme on national TV asked viewers on prime time: What if you were told the money a bank lent you never existed?
It’s an excellent report – watch here
Switzerland - the Swiss national television’s main economic programme reported for the first time on monetary reform. read here
Ireland - Sensible Money had published their letter in the Irish Independent. read here
