Socratic Seminar: A manifesto for global governance reform
Nils Melzer, Ben Arc, Ben de Waal, Avi Burra, Christian Moss, Constant, Oscar Pacey, Nicholas Anthony
"Making Time our Money?" After 30 years on the frontlines of the international system, Nils Melzer has been working on a manifesto for global governance reform, and has ended up with a time-based monetary system as its center piece.
This will be a fire-starter discussion in the Socratic style, bringing together a number of thinkers in the freedom space to stress-test the idea for feasibility, utility, and scalability.
