Wednesday 22 July, 12:30 - 13:30, Crucible Studio at Adastral ParkWhat is money? Where does it come from? Who makes it, and how is it destroyed?
This 45 minute animation describes how money has changed over the years, and explores some of the consequences.
In the past, many societies have used gold, available in limited quantities to anyone lucky enough to find it. Others have used paper notes created by governments, which can be printed in unlimited quantities.
Most of the money we use today is not gold or paper, but DEBT - created by private banks as entries in a ledger, who charge an annual fee for its use ("interest"). The bank's license to print money has profound implications for the sustainability of a society driven to achieve growth to pay the fees.
Join us to find out more followed by a lively discussion.
