| In
2011 and most of 2012, there was a gap in this service, as we
became busier with supporting local groups to put their systems
online, and the economic crisis gave rise to so many events
we could not keep up with them . . . |
Thursday 25th November 2010: 6.30-8pm: Sheikh Zayed
Theatre, New Academic Building: Zombie Economics: How
Dead Ideas Still Walk Among Us - with Professor John Quiggin
chaired by Professor Andrea Prat
The recent financial crisis laid bare
many of the assumptions behind market liberalism--the
theory that market-based solutions are always best, regardless
of the problem. For decades, their advocates dominated
mainstream economics, and their influence created a system
where an unthinking faith in markets led many to view
speculative investments as fundamentally safe. The crisis
seemed to have killed off these ideas, but they still
live on in the minds of many-- even some of those charged
with cleaning up the mess. John Quiggin explains how these
dead ideas still walk among us--and why we must find a
way to kill them once and for all if we are to avoid an
even bigger financial crisis in the future. John Quiggin
is professor of economics at the University of Queensland
in Australia. This event is free and open to all with
no ticket required. Entry is on a first come, first served
basis. For any queries email events@lse.ac.uk or call
020 7955 6043. |

Thursday 18th November 2010, 6.30-8pm at
Hong Kong Theatre, Clement House, LSE: Zero-Sum World:
Power and Prosperity in the Age of Anxiety - with Gideon
Rachman:
In this lecture to mark the publication
of his new book, Gideon Rachman argues that the global
economic crisis has changed the logic of international
relations and ushered in a new and more dangerous era.
This will be characterised by rising tensions between
America and China and a failure to deal effectively with
global problems such as climate change and nuclear proliferation.
Gideon Rachman is the chief foreign affairs commentator
for the Financial Times. This event is free and open to
all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first come,
first served basis. For any queries email events@lse.ac.uk
or call 020 7955 6043. |

Wed 17th November
2010: Money & Spirituality: Seminar
with internationally famous founder of rebirthing Leonard
Orr: Networking
from 6pm (food provided by Hari Krishna), Introductions
at 7pm chaired by Peter challen, Seminar starts at 8pm,
at The School of Oriental & African Studies (SOAS),
Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG, organised
by Raga Woods in collaboration with LETSlink.
n this seminar, Leonard will explore his thesis that the
global monetary crisis we face today is a result of spiritual
problems ... in that until people own their natural divinity
they have trouble realizing that they have the right and
power to print their own money. Until individuals print
their own money and master money, they can't give government
the power to print money and we remain trapped in the
bankers' system. Realizing that we have the same power
as the bankers to print money is basic to financial and
economic freedom. A rational money system will support
farmers and the services businesses and adult education
as well as goods. We all deserve equal access to money
and capital to finance our work and our great ideas. Money
scarcity is destroying our civilization and our economic
well being, not to mention our environment, because people
are "forced" by money scarcity to do work that
is not in harmony even with their ethics as well as values
to survive in the bankers scarcity system. Adult spiritual
education can be helpful to people who haven't found their
divine gifts to the world. When they do find them, the
money system can support them if it is designed to do
this. Leonard will illustrate these ideas with actual
examples, and we will also discuss follow-up action in
terms of community currency projects, in London and elsewhere.our

If the answer is yes, then should we take the opportunity

changes and start saving up for the next bailout?"

August
14-18, 2010: 'On The Money - a Vision Quest to the Heart
of Local Money', a five day workshop for local
currency designers, held at Findhorn Ecovillage in Scotland.
Why now? Local money will play a critical
role in the transition to the resilient communities of the future.
A few community currencies have succeeded and lasted decades.
not sustained themselves. After thousands of experiments around
the world it is time to apply the lessons learned to create
a new generation of sustainable systems.
What does the workshop cover? * Why, What, How, Who,
Where and When of community currencies. * How to get past the
initial enthusiasm and idealism to create a system that lasts.
* How to choose the best design features. * How to involve your
community in the development process. * The workshop will be
high on methodology, low in ideology, as we critically engage
with existing models and systems to identify what works best
for your own situation.
Who is leading it? John Rogers and Jonathan Dawson, both
experienced community currency acitivists and teachers. With
guest contributions from Richard Douthwaite, Margrit Kennedy
and Bernard Lietaer and other community currency practitioners.
We will learn together how to channel the idealism and enthusiasm
driving community currrencies into using the right tools to
do the job of design properly and create a quantum shift in
practice.

7th June 2006: Sustainable Currencies- 6-9pm
at Limehouse Town Hall, 646 Commercial Road, Limehouse (DLR
from Bank), London E14 7HA In times of economic hardship, bartering
is used to sustain the essentials of life. Local Exchange Trading
Schemes (LETS) do this by means of local currencies. They encourage
good use of resources, and enhance neighbourly relationships.
Following "green dollar" experiments in Canada, the
first Local Exchange Trading Scheme in the UK began in Norwich
in 1985 and there are now hundreds of schemes. Some have survived
well, others have fallen by the wayside. New ones are being
set up incorporating web-based technology. Running a LETS is
a complex, co-operative undertaking, and can be done in many
different ways. We will consider what factors can help to make
LETS more sustainable. Call 07966-216891 to confirm venue. Contact:

EARLIER
CONFERENCES organised by LETSlink UK
National Conferences
have been an important part of LETSlink UK's history. At
these events, organisers have met crucial contacts, debated
theory, had contact with overseas developments, and given
each other support. Our archives on these events are incoomplete,
and additional input is welcomed on details, content of
papers etc. In all cases LETSlink UK worked with local partners,
sometimes local LETS, sometimes academic institutions interested
in research on LETS, such as the Local Economic Policy Unit
at South Bank University and London School of Economics.
In due course we hope to add details of significant conferences
overseas, which we advertise whenever possible on our Forthcoming
Events page.
