    A BRIEF HISTORY OF MONEY, CREDIT AND BANKING

    Money is a medium of exchange and a store of value but where does it come from, how did it evolve to its current forms? Join us to find out.

    In this 5-session course, Edward Dodson explains the origins of money and the early history of credit and banking up to the appearance of fractional reserve banking. The course also covers the process leading to the establishment of the Federal Reserve System, the adoption and subsequent repeal of the Gold and Silver standard and will make the case for the return to receipt money.

    Growth and Anarchy; legacy of Raworth and George

    Join us for a series of enlightening lectures and discussions on the ramifications of the degrowth hypothesis.

    This five-class course explores the degrowth thesis of Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics -7 Ways to Think Like a 21st Century Economist (2017) and finds that Henry George actually supported a similar thesis, just 138 years earlier. The “Growth and Anarchy” title of the course is a play on George’s “Progress and Poverty” title. Anarchy is the likely outcome of pursuing growth (while accommodating its rent-seeking cousin) and failing to adopt a system of social development that has captured land values pay for those necessary services (that include breathable air, drinkable water, commonly-owned land, healthcare, security, transit, power, communications, and financial services) for the advantage of everyone.

    Dates: Mondays – 3/10, 3/17, 3/24, 3/31, 4/7
    Time: 6:30PM to 8:00PM EST
