Ad Broere

My name is Ad Broere. I am an economist. For more than 30 years I have been active in successively business, banking, and consultancy/education. What strikes me most is that money is accepted as a product. Something you can trade, and let it 'work' for you. But have you ever seen a pound or an euro working? Also interest is an odd thing, especially compounded interest. If an ancestor in year zero had deposited 50 pence at a compounded interest rate of 5%, you would possess now five golden earth globes! In nature all exponential processes, such as cancer, tend to extinguishment of the biological system.

A few years ago I have started my search for answers on the question why the monetary system has produced (and will produce) repeatedly crises, scarcity, unemployment, inequality, and more. Until sofar this quest has resulted in two books; Een Menselijke Economie,2009(Dutch), and in 2010 Ending the Global Casino?, written in English.

In my opinion we should say goodbye to the present monetary system by me referred to as a global casino. We can opt for a solution in which money plays the subservient role it should have. However, this will require a completely different attitude towards money and economy. The questions why we should end the global casino and what our options will be if we do so, are addressed by me in Ending the Global Casino? (a question mark because it is up to you)
