In Search of a Healthy Society: The Illness of Interconnected Global Credit

In this joint webinar organized in collaboration with the Henry George Foundation (London), Edward J. Dodson explores the history and ongoing effects of how banking and money creation combine with systems of land tenure and taxation to dictate the distribution of wealth in society.

Ed will share his insights from a long career in the financial services industry and his four decades of research, writing and teaching political economy based on the works of Henry George.


Attendees are invited to read Ed’s article available in Land and Liberty from the website of the Henry George Foundation at https://www.henrygeorgefoundation.org/publications/land-liberty-magazine/1097-land-liberty-issue-1250-spring-2020/file.html

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

    Christian Gelleri is a PhD candidate in economics at the University of Siegen in Germany and a leading innovator in the complementary currency space. He is the creator of the Chiemgauer, a regional currency in Bavaria, Germany which is intended to increase local employment, support local culture and make the local food supply more resilient. The currency incorporates Silvio Gesell’s proposal of demurrage, or carrying costs, to incentivize steady circulation of money. Christian is a former Waldorf School teacher, and he created the Chiemgauer in 2003 as a project with his students.

A lawyer and economist by training, Carlos has worked in the areas of alternative exchange systems and complementary currencies since the 1990s. He has written numerous articles as well as a book entitled Keynes and Gesell: A New Paradigm, in which he argues that many of the core ideas in The General Theory were previously developed by Gesell during his years in Argentina. He furthermore advocates for a more inclusive view of economic history, making the argument that many ideas which are ascribed to European and American thinkers were developed decades and even centuries earlier in South America.

    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.
