Evolution Or Revolution? Democratising Money
Seminar
With Thanks To Our Event Sponsors:
Agenda:
The aim of the seminar is to consider details, support and processes for adapting mobile phone technology to create an alternative form of money so as to:
- Sustain funding for SMEs in the event of another financial crisis
- Stimulate the economy on a sustainable basis without inflation or cost to the government or taxpayers
- Establish a sustainable stable unit of value not subject to debasement or volatility created by governments, central bankers, speculators, terms of trade or alien market forces
- Allow local services of nature to define the value of money, prices and costs to make market forces dependent on sustainable environmental values
- Sustain low cost finance for business by introducing a usage (demurrage) cost for money hoarders
- Remove the incentive for holding wealth in the form of money rather than sustainable productive activities
- Reduce misallocation of resources, wealth inequality and so taxes and welfare by removing the ability of money to earn interest
- Reduce the percentage of GDP absorbed in financial services rather than providing universal sustainable prosperity
- Mitigate or remove market forces that favour burning carbon rather than use sustainable energy
- Issue and manage money through cooperative or mutually controlled financial institutions to enrich a sustainable democracy.
