What Kind of World is Possible?
Description
A screening of the documentary ‘Finding the Money’ followed by a facilitated conversation with economist Tony Weekes.
‘When I have new evidence, I change my mind. What do you do?’ (credited to the economist J M Keynes)
In this film US economists explain how money is created and frame a different way of looking at the money tool, a way which offers hope. Knowing how governments and banks can create money doesn’t solve all our problems but it does open up the possibility of organising differently. Instead of being limited by not having enough money, the challenge is – how do we organise our collective human and natural resources in democratic ways to allow humanity and the rest of the living world to thrive within planetary boundaries?
Following the screening of the film Finding the Money, there will be a facilitated conversation with retired academic economist Tony Weekes.
