Money Matters - A Three Part Series
What will it take to achieve a Conscious Revolution for a just and sustainable society and global village? An often taken-for-granted part of our market economy is money itself. But what is money? Where does it come from? Who creates it today, how, and to whose benefit? How does our current money system direct the allocation of resources? How does it affect our relationships with each other, locally and globally, and with the rest of nature? Does it support or undermine democratic practices, sustainability, and just exchange? Are there alternatives?
These questions and more will be explored in this 3 part series, join us for 1 or all 3!
Part 2: Legislating Change: The Details of Monetary Reform
We will walk through and look at some of the important details of the American Monetary Reform Act (AMRA) as proposed by the Alliance For Just Money. What is the purpose of AMRA, and how does it achieve its purpose? How does AMRA restrain Congress from “printing too much money” and causing unacceptable levels of inflation? How does it affect banking? How does it involve both centralized and decentralized components in directing the flow of newly created money? How does it propose to stabilize the economy? How does it help the country address critical problems relating to meeting social needs and environmental protection? How does it affect money in politics? How does it provide for a smooth transition to a money system that is more accountable and beneficial to the public than the present system is? Time will be allotted for Q&A, comments, and critiques.
