Monetary Reform: Trending - 06.03.15

Remarkable changes are underway in the world of monetary policy, theory and even the forms of money itself.  Beyond just technology, these new forms and re-forms of the dominant money control systems are being pushed by the need for fairer economic distribution as well as raging battles between global private banks and citizens of Greece, Spain, Canada and more.  This week Ellen speaks with Uli Kortsch, president of Global Partners Investments, who advocates replacing money creation by private banks through "fractional reserve lending" with government-issued money, and we visit with colleagues in London working on something similar.  Co-host Walt McRee discusses a new series of workbooks designed to enable more local investment while Matt Stannard discusses the humanitarian concerns imposed by the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
