http://www.positivemoney.org/ Joe Taylor, community activist from Lancashire, co-founder of NatCAN (National Community Activists Network) speaking at the Positive Money 2014 conference "Building a Movement" gave a forthright explanation of how he had come to be supporting Positive Money. He had tried to answer the question, "Who do we owe this money to?" In that moment, "I realised I couldn't explain simply what money is, and when you can't explain something simply you don't understand it." He had found Positive Money on the web and was organising meetings because, "When something needs done, I don't get lost in a labyrinth of hypotheses." "All these years I've been trying to solve problems, now I know where the problem comes from." -------------------------- SUBSCRIBE to Positive Money UK's videos: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=PositiveMoneyUK Like us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/PositiveMoney Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/PositiveMoneyUK Follow us on Google+ http://www.positivemoney.org.uk/googleplus Positive Money is a not-for-profit research and campaign group. They work to raise awareness of the connections between our current monetary and banking system and the serious social, economic and ecological problems that face the UK and the world today. In particular they focus on the role of banks in creating the nation's money supply through the accounting process they use when they make loans - an aspect of banking which is poorly understood. Positive Money believe these fundamental flaws are at the root of - or a major contributor to - problems of poverty, excessive debt, growing inequality and environmental degradation.
