In fact, making an explicit link between energy and money would help promote sustainable economic development, says Andrew Webber, founder and CEO of Digital Power Optimization (DPO), a US-based start-up and our guest on the latest New Money Review podcast. “Our money and the things we produce with our energy—and the sources of that energy—are completely divorced from one another,” Webber says in the podcast. “We produce ...

It’s time to move away from a global economic model that’s based on the exploitation of individuals’ personal data. So says Diana Finch, managing director of Bristol Pound and our interviewee on the latest New Money Review podcast. “I am extremely anxious about the data economy and about how our personal data is bought and sold by big players whom we’ve often never heard of,” says Finch. And it’s community-based money initiatives that can help us fight back in one of the key areas targeted by...

Selgin, who is director of the centre for monetary and financial alternatives at the Cato Institute and a professor emeritus of economics at the University of Geo...
