State-led money creation versus “free market alternatives” like bitcoin (Video)

Watch the recording of a debate between Ben Dyson, founder of Positive Money and comedian, author of ‘Life after the State’ and anarchist Dominic Frisby.

Ben makes the case to give the state the exclusive right to create legal tender and explains the Positive Money proposal. Dominic explores “free market alternatives” like bitcoin.

Dominic concludes that although he prefers a completely free market, a state-run system is better than the crony capitalist system we have now.

Host Paul Buitink and Dutch lecturer Jan Willem Burgers have also weighed in.

The debate took place on Wednesday, 27 January 2016.

“Our current money system is the single biggest cause of inequality.”

Dominic Frisby
