Those who would like to understand how money works and in which way it influences our lives, should ask
Margrit Kennedy. Through her books and lectures she uncovers a fundamental flaw in our money system, that creates social injustice and an explosive growth dynamic. Kennedy describes a possible way out of the risk prone monopoly of today's money system: the introduction of a variety of complementary currencies that can be designed to serve specific purposes, similar to the principle of diversity in nature. In a very personal way, she speaks about her odyssey through the world of money and about successful experiments, that could inspire us to prevent financial crises in the future. Prof. Dr. Margrit Kennedy is an architect, ecologist and money expert. Her pioneering book "Interest and Inflation-Free Money" was first published 20 years ago, in 22 languages. Her book "Regionalwährungen" (Regional Currencies, co-authored by
Bernard A. Lietaer) has spawned 70 regional currency initiatives in the German speaking parts of Europe, of which 30 issued their own currency. She is the founder of the complementary currency think tank MonNetA (Money Network Alliance/Netzwerk für monetäre Vielfalt), founding member of the Regiogeld Association, and member of the Future Finance Commission of the World Future Council.
