Coming up on Speakers Forum on Thursday, April 18 at 8 p.m.
In the book "Rethinking Money," economist Bernard Lietaer and journalist Jacqui Dunne trace the beginnings of our monetary system, including its serious problems and hope for the future.
Lietaer and Dunne tell stories of communities who have used new money, in addition to national currency, to make their local economies more prosperous and sustainable. Today, more than 4,000 cooperative currencies are in circulation.
