Should Banks Be Public Utilities?
Description
Given the terrible malfunctioning of too-big-to-fail banks and the ineffectual bail-outs, should banking be made a public good like the electric power system? In this program Leland Lerhman, managing partner of Fund Balance, and Hazel Henderson examine the need to correct financial models that are now harming both humans and the planet. Lerhman believes that steering toward the tenets of social credit will ultimately benefit the economy while promoting human and ecological values. Among the topics raised: Ellen Brown's The Web of Debt, the concept of guaranteed income, and the development from negative screens to more sophisticated ways of linking financial systems to ecosystems.
