THE ECONOMICS OF PEACE AND THE CITY OF BALTIMORE

 

Date: April 10th, 2021, 2:00 PM- 4:00 PM (EDT)

Ellen Brown and Walt McRee from the Public Banking Institute and Alanna Hartzok, Earth Rights Institute, will focus on how our current economic system grows out of inequities and injustice in our land tenure, tax and money systems. They will then consider how Baltimore can bounce back to prosperity by building a just economy. This unprecedented conversation will consider fundamental reforms of the land, tax and banking system to revive Baltimore’s economy by enabling the supply of affordable housing, locally grown food, and sufficient public finance to pay for parks, schools, libraries, transportation and other needed public goods and services.

Respondents: 

David Swanson, Executive Director, World BEYOND War

Jean L. Athey,  Executive Director, Maryland Peace Action

Michael Brennan, Board Member, Public Banking Institute

    Economy 2.0: Round Table #1

    Josh Sidman leads the first-ever Economy 2.0 round table episode, featuring Will Ruddick, Michael Meehan, Teun van Sambeek and George Lovegrove. The topic will be the potential for digital and/or blockchain technologies to apply the trust-based dynamics of family or community economy to an extended network in which participants do not know each other personally.

    Aristotle defined economics as the study of “household management.” Households have a complex set of dynamics governing the rights and responsibilities of each member without the need for money or traditional economic contracts or institutions. What if modern technologies give us — for the first time in human history — the possibility of creating extended — or even global — networks built on these holistic dynamics, thus making possible a quantum leap forward in terms of human economy? These four thinkers will each bring their diverse perspectives on the subjects of alternative exchange paradigms and digital token systems to bear on this important and timely subject.
