Making the story behind our monetary system understandable for everyone

The flood of financial jargon serves to exclude outsiders from the financial world. I do the opposite: I make the world of money and power understandable for any audience — from public talks to conferences, from universities to bank boardrooms.

Topics

Three themes I bring most often, each adaptable to your audience and the time you have.

How our money really works

Who creates our money, where does it flow, and why doesn't the system work for everyone?

The battle for our digital money

Tech billionaires, crypto companies, or the central bank after all — who will seize power over the money of the future?

The system behind the housing crisis

If everyone really considers the housing crisis this urgent, why can't we manage to solve it?
