Here I interview Tim Jenkin, Matthew Slater and Dil Green (and briefly, Keith the cat, until he got bored) about the money system, the problems it causes and what could replace it. Fascinating insights from three people who have spent an enormous amount of time thinking about the money system.

Tim was a member of the ANC, escaped from a high-security prison and is the subject of a new film – Escape from Pretoria, starring Daniel Radcliffe. He founded the Credit Commons (more later) with Matthew; and Dil is a co-founder of the Open Credit Network, a new mutual credit network for the UK.
