Reforming our Monetary System – Challenges and Opportunities

Money Talks returns with Michael White and Steven Walsh of the American Monetary Institute to discuss monetary Reform

Over the last twenty years, calls for a fundamental reform of the monetary system have taken various shapes. Their common thread lies in the dissatisfaction with the current privately-generated money supply, which is premised on perpetual debt creation underwritten by the central bank. In this Money Talk workshop, Michael White and Steven Walsh will discuss major developments in the history of money and reform in America and the world, culminating in contemporary ‘state of the art’ approaches to reform, including opening up Reserve accounts and an introduction to how parity pricing for raw materials could radically improve a future economy.

Michael White is a historian and international teacher, he has been researching and writing a book on understanding money and monetary history. Steve Walsh is a Chicago based school teacher and organizer. He is one of the leaders American Monetary Institute, and has been active in parity pricing for farmers in recent years.

Date: Friday, November 1
Speakers: Michael White and Steven Walsh 
Time: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

    Understanding the Chinese Model – State Capitalism or Market-Maoism?

    As China experiments with its unique form of indigenous capitalism, it managed to pull 800 million people out of poverty in a record time while it maintained a strong economy despite the dire predictions of Western pundits. At the same time many of its counterparts in the West are facing very economically challenging times. In this interactive seminar Michael Bucher asks what’s driving China’s success story and what lessons the rest of the world can learn from one of the greatest social experiments of the century.

    Capitalism in Peril - Democratic Socialism to the Rescue?

    Since its emergence in the late 1700s, Capitalism has been the most successful economic system that the world has ever seen. However, the colorful success stories cannot hide the grim realities of extreme income inequality, cyclical instability, social destitution and what has been termed by some as the ecological “death spiral”. In this interactive seminar, Ted Auerbach presents the democratic socialist alternative and, discusses its potential for recapturing the lost genius of American prosperity.

    Mr. Auerbach is a New York based retired school teacher. He has been a peace and social justice activist for over 50 years.
