"Debt and Speculation in the Global Economy" Webinar

In this webinar, author Charles Eisenstein and Local Futures' Director Helena Norberg-Hodge hold a conversation about the central role of debt in the global economy. Virtually all the money in circulation today was created through debt – much of it for speculative bets within an increasingly unstable casino economy. The continuous deregulation of trade and finance has led to spiraling debt – not only for individuals but for nation states – in both the global North and South. In fact, our social and ecological problems are a consequence of a type of growth based on this ever-increasing debt and speculation.
