What if… we could create money as well as banks?

Bristol Festival of Ideas
Sat 19th May 2012
3.30pm-4.30pm

Virtually all the money in circulation has been lent into existence by commercial banks. When the government in effect franchised the creation of money to the banks it failed to keep an eye on what they did, or agree a proper ‘quid pro quo' for the privilege.

Speakers:

• Josh Ryan-Collins, nef, co-author of the book Where Does Money Come From?: A Guide to the UK Monetary and Banking System
• Mark Burton, member of the Bristol Pound Team
• Ruth Potts, founder of bread, print & roses
