Recommendations after event with Follow the Money on Monetary Economics

During the panel discussion with Thomas Bollen, Arnoud Boot and Stef Kuypers, one thing was stressed: we need to understand the current system, to be able to come up with improvements to that system.

We step in on that call, with a student lecture on the monetary system Wed 4 March, 16:00 at Utrecht University (location tbd). By Rethinker Femke Schootstra

  • The history of monetary systems

  • The "layers" of the monetary system

  • Different theories about money
