It’s time to rethink how we create and allocate money

In Outgrowing Capitalism, Marco Dondi sheds light on the fact that most people do not have the economic security to focus on purpose and life fulfillment. He proposes that this is not the way things have to be; there is an alternative. In a quest to change our economic system to cater for everyone, he identifies deep issues in how money is created and allocated and connects these to capitalism. Instead of generating value and increasing well-being in society, free-market money creation through private banks has led to the inflation of house prices, financial crises, increasing inequality, and mountains of private debt.

Dondi shows that the assumptions and circumstances that made capitalism a success are no longer true today. He then describes a new socio-economic model, monetism, an alternative that is good for the many rather than the few. He provides a pragmatic roadmap to institutionalize monetism and solve societal issues that only seem as permanent as time.
