Reform The Money

"The Gift Economy" with Charles Eisenstein, author of the book- The Ascent of Humanity- The Age of Separation, the Age of Reunion, and the convergence of crises that is birthing the transition. Charles is currently writing an expansion of the hopeful ideas of Humanity's reunion with nature and a rediscovery of the "gift economy." He sees humanity making the transition from adolescence towards adulthood, overcoming the crises which currently threaten us ans seem somewhat insurmountable. While noting the increasing problems caused by technology, he also sees how approriate technology can help us move towards a genuine healing phase where much of the damage humanity has caused can be remediated. He will be conducting "Seeding Gift Culture" workshops and retreats in April and speaking at the upcoming http://futureofmoney.com/moneyconference/ Future of Money and Technology Summit in San Francisco on April 26th.DownloadCharles Eisenstein's website is: http://www.ascentofhumanity.comSource: Progressive Radio Network

The Possibility of Creating a State Bank in California with Ellen Brown, author of The Web of Debt- The Shocking Truth About Our Monetary System and How We Can Break Free, and Laura Wells, running for the nomination of the Green Party for Governor of California. Ellen wrote an article entitled 'CALIFORNIA DREAMIN': HOW THE STATE CAN BEAT ITS BUDGET WOES citing the successful example of North Dakota's State Bank to help California steer a new path through its economic crisis. Her article has inspired others to begin drafting legislation to create a state bank for California. Laura Wells, with her background in finance, management and political innovation, has garnered more votes than any other Green Party candidate for state office, when she ran for State Controller on a "Follow the Money" platform. She embraces the idea of a state bank and reshifting taxes from people to corporations.DownloadEllen Brown's website is: http://www.webofdebt.comSource: Progressive Radio NetworkAired: 3/18/10 12:00 AMThis podca

A new report by a group of prominent economists this week warned that banks are still engaged in high-risk investing activity that is making another, potentially bigger financial crisis not only likely, but inevitable. The group includes Rob Johnson of the United Nations Commission of Experts on Finance, plus Elizabeth Warren, chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel to oversee the bank bailout. The report, commissioned by the Roosevelt Institute, points out how banks are using borrowed funds to take risks similar to the ones that crashed the economy in 2007 in order to continue to pay big dividends to share-holders and obscenely large bonuses to executives. The economists also urge the President and Congress to strengthen proposed financial regulations to stem the new crisis-in-making, and called out Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke and Treasure Secretary Timothy Geithner for overseeing “policy as the bubble was inflating.” The report said, now “these same men now designing our ‘rescue.’” The report used

Stephen Zarlenga of the American Monetary Institute has become a regular guest on the Gnostic Media program, and we love having him on. After our series that we completed a few months ago, some people from the Austrian school of economics were upset about the interviews with Stephen, and one of them wrote a long article that was posted to the Ludwig von Mises Institute website (http://mises.org/daily/4102) of the Austrian school attacking Stephen and the interview. Stephen returns for our 3rd interview together for his critical rejoinder to the Ludwig von Mises Institute website article by Kaj Grüssner.

Stephen Zarlenga is Director of the American Monetary Institute (AMI), a publicly supported charity involved in conducting research on the nature of money, its role in controlling societies, and the importance of reforming a broken system to achieve economic justice. Zarlenga is a noted expert on issues related to finance, securities, insurance, mutual funds, real estate, and futures trading. He's written 20 books on money, banking, politics and philosophy, including "The Lost Science of Money" that "exposes the mythology created to protect those who are embezzling from society" by controlling the nation's money. The result is a structurally corrupted political economy with elected officials the handmaidens of Wall Street, an unprecedented wealth disparity between the rich and most others, and a society in decay heading for ruin and tyranny unless stopped. That topic will be discussed and Zarlenga's prescription for change.DownloadStephen Zarlenga's website is http://www.monetary.org/Source: Republic Broadcas

This is part 2 of our series with Stephen Zarlenga where we look deep into the fundamental concepts of money: What is money and how is it defined? What is the difference between money and credit? What is the history of money? How does it tie to religion, government and private business? Is nationalizing the money system socialist, and does this concept of money ignore "the libertarian issue"? What is FIAT money? Is there a difference between private versus nationalized banks and how they operate? Has there ever been a society on the gold standard that did not fall to slavery or serfdom? And why is any of this important for YOU to understand, and how could it possibly affect YOUR life?Stephen Zarlenga is the founder of the American Monetary Institute (AMI) - the leading American monetary think tank for monetary history, theory and reform.
