    Economy 2.0 – A Conversation with Felix Fuders


    Josh Sidman sits down for a conversation with Felix Fuders. Join them live via Zoom and be part of the discussion!

    Felix Fuders is originally from Germany and is a professor of economics at the Universidad Austral de Chile, where he is the Director of the Economics Institute and the head of the Right Livelihood College. He is also the chairman of the Natural Economic Order Foundation in Frankfurt, Germany and one of the leading researchers in the world on the economic perspective of Silvio Gesell, having published multiple books and articles on Gesell’s ideas. His most recent book How to Fulfill the UN Sustainability Goals: Rethinking the Role and Concept of Money in the Light of Sustainability makes the argument that the root cause of unsustainable environmental practices and the so-called “growth imperative” is our irrational form of money and that achieving a more sustainable future requires a fundamental overhaul of our monetary system along the lines proposed by Silvio Gesell.

    Rentier Capitalism
    Session 1

    6:30 pm-7:30 pm
    2025.09.03
    149 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016

    Rentier Capitalism

    Using Brett Christopher’s Rentier Capitalism as reference, this course explores the inordinate power and wealth of large corporations to monopolize and monopsonize markets in order to maximize and extract economic rent.

    Though the course material focuses on rentierism in the UK … still reeling from Thatcherite privatizations of state-owned enterprises in the 80s to present day, common to all this is the giveaway and privatization of billions of dollars-worth of economic rent prevalent in Western economies today. The course underscores the importance that George gave to the control of monopolies, beyond simple land value taxation.
