Positive Money
nodeMoney & Finance · Media & Managed Opposition
A campaign to change money itself was built on a theory written by a charity that also signed its letters.
Who they are
Positive Money, a group that pushes for central banks to control how much money exists, not just interest rates[1].
What they do
The record calls it part of a push under the banners of 'positive money' and 'economic justice for the people'.
How it works
The New Economics Foundation published the textbook that Positive Money's theory came from. The two groups signed a joint letter together, alongside others. Positive Money also worked with groups like 350 and SumOfUs to pressure the Chancellor over the Bank of England's mandate, delivering a petition with 65,000 signatures. Positive Money Europe, based in Brussels, argued the digital euro would remove banks' privileged access to central bank money.
Why it matters
It shows how a campaign for change can be tied to the same circles that write its ideas and sign its letters.
