Billed as “an international conference on the role of the media in the financial crisis” – the European Journalism Center invited Bernard A. Lietaer, Research Fellow, University of California to present his ideas in money systems. He asks why journalists do not question the monopoly on bank debt money. This system he likens this system to a car with non-functioning steering. He shows how complexity theory plays in, and that 5,000 years of history among other things, has created a “blind spot” that not only did not see the crash coming but ensures that the money system is never questioned.
