Dear Friends, We hope you are off to a great start in the New Year! I'm writing to let you know that our *newest* NET (New Economy Transition) discussion session "A New Money, Banking and Financial System for a New Economy" is out! And we need your help with promotion. In this online presentation, we've included some short background readings, presentation discussion videos, audio and additional resources.Click here for more info. <http://www.neweconomyworkinggroup.org/discussions/new-money-banking-and-financial-system-new-economy> This time, David Korten (New Economy Working Group <http://neweconomyworkinggroup.org/>), Stacy Mitchell,( ILSR <http://www.ilsr.org/>), Ellen Brown (Public Banking Institute <http://publicbankinginstitute.org/>), Jared Gardner (Move your Money Campaign) and  Bill Greider (The Nation) envision a banking and financial system devoted to investing in the creation, rather than the expropriation, of real wealth. As you know, this NET session is part of an ongoing series of discussions <http://www.neweconomyworkinggroup.org/discussions> that look at key transition points that get us closer towards a New Economy -- and that you have participated in over the last few years. We have packaged these discussions into an online presentation so we can disseminate them to a larger audience. *So we need your help spreading the word! *Below you'll find suggested Facebook posts and tweets to share with your networks. Thank you for all your help and support! All the Best, Noel, Lena and the New Economy Working Group 2.
