Why are we working harder but feel less secure? Why are the benefits going to a small percentage of the population? Can we make the economy more compassionate and just? How can we have an economy based upon growth when we live on a finite Earth?
Everyone’s looking for a 10%+ return on investment—but the growing economic system is based upon interest paid on debts. So ever more resources are used to create and sell more and more “stuff ” to pay off that debt. Are we reaching a limit to this system?
It’s time to explore some new approaches—to create an economic system that is sustainable. From public banking to demurrage systems to alternative currencies and locavesting, new ideas are springing up around the country—and the world.
Essential Knowledge for Transition is a eye-opening look at our current economic and monetary system, its effects, and what we can do. Led by Fulbright Scholar Marco Vangelisti—a brilliant communicator and industry insider—this series will give you answers in plain English, get you thinking, and inspire you. Oct 25, 12 noon–2pm: Part 3: Investing for the World That We Want Why is financial capital divorced from productive activity, and how can we fix it? Learn how communities are transforming investment to be local, democratic, and productive.
Many people who weren't able to attend the first two sessions of this series requested that we share videos so they could catch up on the material they missed or review key concepts. You can stream the entirety of Session One and view video clips on the YouTube Channel of New Economy Transition:
