Positive Money
A movement for a fair, democratic and sustainable money system.
Our current financial system has left us with the highest personal debt in history, unaffordable housing, worsening inequality, high unemployment and banks that are subsidized and underwritten with taxpayers’ money.
Positive Money is a not-for-profit organization based in London. They rely on a team of skilled and dedicated volunteers, coordinated by eight full-time staffers and operate from a small (and cheap!) office. Their Advisory Panel includes economics professors, authors, entrepreneurs and people from the financial industry who know that something needs to change. They try to give the power back to the people, instead of the banks. Positive Money campaigns for a fair, democratic and sustainable money system.
