Money Matters: The Mainstream, The Maverick and The Misfit
Friday 29 January 2021, 2pm
Free event, open to all!
Against the backdrop of the governments ‘levelling up’ agenda for the UK economy, we ask three payment / money experts to discuss if local currency systems have any potential in expediting the ‘levelling up’ objective. Can a redesigned local currency drive regional growth?
To avoid the pitfalls of the echo chamber, this session ‘Money Matters: The Mainstream, The Maverick and The Misfit:’ brings together three disparate perspectives from across the economic landscape. After delivering a short presentation, David Birch, Brett Scott and Max Haarich will discuss the potential of a future community-based currency system specifically designed for Huddersfield.
