AFJM Coffee House
Topic: Three Slideshows
With the Policy Position Team
In an attempt to increase our social media presence, the Policy Position Team presented three short slideshows on which they welcomed feedback. The subjects were a) introduction to monetary reform, b) social justice and monetary reform, and c) the relationship between taxation and monetary reform.
The recording of this coffee house is forthcoming.
1) "How is Money Created?" by Karly Enger.
Karly shared an Instagram slideshow they based on the section "How is Money Created Today" from AFJMs website. This was the first of a series of slideshows that will cover content on AFJMs website. The hope is to increase our social media presence through these easy-to-share slideshows. Once we have completed a series AFJM will need your help to spread the word!
2) "On Social Justice" by Mark Young
Mark presented an overview of the concept of social justice and its connection to monetary reform.
3) "Taxation" by Paul Lebow
Paul addressed taxes and their relationship with monetary reform. He presented different tax scenarios in a Just Money system. He wanted it to be clear that proponents of Sovereign Monetarey Reform should be cognizant of the magnitude of the role taxes play in government spending as well as the inflationary impacts of attempting to replace portions of taxation with Just Money.

Appendix: Verhagen responds to NYT:
Comment: International monetary justice is also to the part of the equity emphasis when the Biden Administration is preparing “to take sweeping steps” in additional equity applications.
The unjust, unsustainable, and therefore, unstable international monetary system is a remnant of the Bretton Woods institutions that were created to the advantage of the victors in WW II, particularly the U.S. Now one nation’s currency fluctuations make all currencies unstable, especially large fluctuations.
The Biden Administration should combine its emphasis of the changing climate with its emphasis on equity by seriously studying the feasibility of basing the present unjust international monetary system on the decarbonization monetary standard of a specific tonnage of CO2e per person as was proposed in Verhagen 2012 "The Tierra Solution: Resolving the Climate Crisis through Monetary Transformation".
The Administration could start this planning of transforming the global monetary system by having the US Fed adopt the third monetary mandate of decarbonization/optimal solarization besides the present dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment. A participatory procedure for a national conversation about these two monetary changes and similar ones in the financial, and fiscal subsystems of the world economy is presented in the Global 24 Initiative which is being written up in “Ample Money: What, why not, how and whither?”, the sequel to the above 2012 book.
A burst of executive orders on Day 1 to declare that “advancing equity, civil rights, racial justice and equal opportunity is the responsibility of the whole of our government.”
