David Clarke: Reforming Money and Banking for a Fairer, More Sustainable Economy

Video with David Clarke on Wednesday 6th June 2018

This talk was given by David Clarke at the Advaya event Alternative Economies: The Banks, the Myths & the Earth on 6th June 2018.

Talk Description: The UK economy is stuck in a rut, with low investment, stagnant incomes and wealth is concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people. David Clarke will explain how the money and banking system is at the root of our current malaise, with the interests of the financial sector prioritised above the needs of the wider economy. David will outline Positive Money’s vision for a new system that’s fit for the challenges we face.
