Yes, there is a Magic Money Tree
presenter: Peter Verity
Peter's talk was in two parts -
- first, an explanation of the Positive Money campaign
- where money comes from
- why that's bad
- what we should do about it (the Positive Money reforms)
- then, a wider exploration of debt
- the national debt - reframing the narrative as a 'national savings account'
- public finances - taxation, spending, and borrowing. How these could be impacted by Sovereign Money creation
- the 'Magic Money Tree' - tax havens, deficit spending, public money creation
This was followed by about 30 minutes discussion.
