“Taking Modern Money Apart”

Thursday, 13 June 2013 – 6:00pm,

Barnard’s Inn Hall

“Money just isn’t what it used to be”, my grandmother used to observe with a sigh…  We could add today, and soon it won’t be any longer what it now is!  Money (and its relatives) are evolving, fast, in response to the revolution in information and communications and this evolution is certainly causing problems.  But it is also opening opportunities for really significant changes in the economy.I’ll be combining research we did with the City of London Corporation in 2011 – “Capacity, Trade and Credit: Emerging Architectures for Commerce and Money” – with Edward J Nell’s transcript on capacity exchanges.  Edward is the creator of the acclaimed Theory of Transformational Growth which is regaining interest as credit markets remain blocked.
