Dec. 4th, 2004 at 7:00 PM

Fort Mason Firehouse in San Francisco

Bernard Lietaer is one of the world's leading authorities on complementary currencies and one of the chief architects of the Euro (the new common currency of the European Union). A former senior officer of the Belgian Central Bank and active in the domain of money systems for 25 years, he authored the landmark book The Future of Money while a fellow at the Center for Sustainable Resources at the University of California at Berkeley. He will share his perspectives on sustainable economics and his vision for a commodity-based, non-inflationary international currency he calls the Terra.

"I propose that we choose to develop money systems that will enable us to attain sustainability and community healing on a local and global scale. These objectives are in our grasp within less than one generation's time. Whether we materialize them or not will depend on our capacity to cooperate with each other to consciously reinvent our money."- Bernard Lietaer
