The Politics of Money

Description

Christopher Lindstrom wants to reestablish the connection between communities and currency, with money standing as a symbol of trust between individuals rather than as a note of debt to a huge, abstract, and potentially harmful system. Cofounder of the Fund for Complementary Currencies, Lindstrom helped create the BerkShare, a money designed to support local and environmentally sustainable development. In this program, Lindstrom and Hazel Henderson examine misconceptions about how finance is structured, and describe efforts to place economic power back into the hands of the people using electronic barter, Internet crowd-funding, and the ideas of the Slow Money Institute.
