Money, as a man-made invention, comes in many forms.  Whether as gold coins, debt, paper certificates, or as frequent flyer miles, money (as a medium of exchange) provides many benefits for a community.  But money is often misunderstood as wealth, or the productive capacity of a community.  In other words, a community can produce all the goods and services that everyone in a community needs, and be quite wealthy as a result.  If no money is needed for a community to be wealthy, where is its place? This conference call will be a discussion of how public banking can further the creation of sustainable, productive assets in communities so that wealth can be optimized.
