What's Wrong with Money?
... and what is it doing to our Society?

We invite you to an evening of short films on the theme of Money and Society which show that changes to make our financial and social systems more sustainable are necessary, possible and beneficial for all.

Many of the big social and economic problems that we’re facing today are due to the way that money is created by the financial institutions. This is leading to increasing inequality, indebtedness and unaffordable housing.

TLT member Jackie Talbott will introduce a number of important ideas, such as the Three Pillars of Sustainability and lead us through a number of short films that show what is wrong with the current systems, what different approaches are possible, and what we can do to bring about change.

You can download a poster to help promote this event and a leaflet that provides more information.
