The monetary system we have inherited is more than 2,000 years old. - Margrit Kennedy

It takes some audacity for a non-economist to write a book about economics, especially if the book deals with one of the yardsticks of the profession, i.e., money.

The absurdity of monetary system which robs people first of their fair share in the "free market economy" and then - through some of the most inefficient procedures imaginable - returns some of this money in the form of welfare payments to the same people, has rarely been exposed by the "experts" nor been discussed in public.

The historic opportunity now is to present an interest free economy as a third type of solution which is to be found neither in communism nor in capitalism but transcends both.
