    ENERGY – ECONOMY – ECOLOGY

    Money Talk continues with an interactive discussion on the work of Frederick Soddy.

    In this webinar, Joe Bongiovanni will highlight the historical failure of the sciences to grasp Dr. Frederick Soddy’s immeasurable contributions to understanding the natural relativity between energy, economy and ecology. He will also discuss how rediscovering Soddy’s concept of money could help restore the balance between these three spheres of knowledge and achieve broad-based prosperity.
