The following 7 minute talk was presented at the Innotribe Sessions at SIBOS 2011 conference in Toronto Canada.
Here I identify a serious omission in our form of economics which may inhibit the ability for currency to represent the things that people do and make. I also introduce how a new class of financial instruments could re-connect currency with productivity thereby reintroducing vast amounts of value into the tradable asset (currency) pool.
What if the solution to the great complexity of economic collapse is actually fairly simple – and we don’t find it? What if the new economy is going to happen whether we want it to or not – and we are not prepared? What if the tipping point to the New Economy is already past – and we are not in the game?
The only ones to blame would be ourselves for not building the obvious.
