Digital Control Grid: How Does the Economy Really Work, and What are the Rules of the Money Game?

2022.03.17.

We would like to invite you to a very interesting and timely topic to discuss with Dr. Richard A. Werner*, Professor of Banking and Finance, from De Montfort University, Leicester. He is going to give a lecture on “Digital Control Grid: How Does the Economy Really Work, and What are the Rules of the Money Game?”

The event will be held on 24th March, 2022 at 18:00 in QA407.

What is the lecture about?

“The peaceful demonstrations in Ottawa were ended in February when the government froze the demonstrators’ access to their bank accounts. The same happened to the Russian central bank in March. What does this mean for Bitcoin? Is Central Bank Digital Currency a good thing? To understand current events, it is important to understand how the economy really works, not what theory says. What is the true role of the financial sector? What are the rules of the money game? What are the secrets of the banking trade? This lecture reveals long classified information that is too sensitive to feature in economics textbooks.”

It promises to be exciting! See you there!


*The presentation is made possible thanks to the cooperation between BME GTK and BC4LS (Budapest Centre For Long-Term Sustainability). Dr. Richard A. Werner is a visiting scholar of BC4LS.
