Inventing Inclusive Monetary Solutions – Mr. Andrew Sheng

With Andrew Sheng, Distinguished Fellow of the Asia Global Institute

This final session will examine the needs of our modern, globally connected civilization that current, antiquated approaches to economics simply cannot meet. Examining what we have learned so far, how would money need to be changed to better serve the needs of our modern world? Can we create money that reflects our values as a species?

Host Michael Cosh will then present The Human Capital Network: a new monetary specie designed to work within current financial systems and nurture overlooked areas of economics with its own Blockchain cryptocurrency. This session will also provide a brief intro to the mechanics of Blockchain, and how we intend to utilize this open source, publicly accountable system to create an inclusive institution that may challenge extractive fiat institutions.

We will conclude with a discussion on the presentation, led by Andrew Sheng and addressing questions from our audience. What are the challenges that currency plurality instigates? What would a system like this need to get off the ground? How might currency monopolists react to a new challenger? Above all, what do we need to do as a community of economic thinkers to Finance the Future?
