The Money Fix
Thursday 11th November, 7.30pm
“We have work that needs to be done. We have the workers. What is it that is missing. Pieces of paper?”
This fascinating documentary forces us to re-consider our relationship with what we call money. Beginning with the origins of the current money system the story moves quickly to solutions and why true money is something that should work for us and not the other way round. Talking heads include Michael Linton – designer of LETs systems, Thomas Greco – founder of Reinventing Money, and activist Noam Chomsky. An inspiring documentary for anyone who wishes to understand the true nature of today’s money system, why it is breaking down and what needs to come next.
