In this 50 minute talk Richard challenges the current financial system. Much TV and media debate about the economy simply asks: how can we deal with the deficit? The question which should be asked is: why does our system create a deficit? We go back to basics to examine what the role of money should be and why it is the system that is flawed. Most people don't actually know where money comes from. Once you find the answer to this question and realise money is issued as debt by an elite few, it dawns on one that the current system is a con.

Next week we will be screening an audience and panel discussion on this subject.
