Democracy's Edge Radio Talks to Stephen Zarlenga about the Lost Science of Money

The Feral Cats of Freedom interview Stephen Zarlenga of the American Monetary Institute.  Stephen Zarlenga draws on 35 years of experience in the world of finance, securities, insurance, mutual funds, real estate, and futures trading. He has published 20 books on money, banking, politics and philosophy.

Stephen and his colleagues are dedicated to de-mystifying money because
“If it had to be summarized in one sentence it is that by mis-defining the nature of money, special interests have often been able to control a society’s monetary system, and in turn, the society itself.”

So money started out being a way to exchange goods.  And problems arose when people just wanted to make money from money?  Is that one of the problems?  Usury?  Interest?  Making money from derivatives or paper and not making money from investing in a cure for cancer?  

Should there be such thing as a moral economy or moral and just money?
Should we start by putting the Fed to bed?
