Their Word Our Bond - Associate! December 2011

With this issue of Associate! we focus on the growing world crisis concerning young people. People who see little to cheer about in their futures. The Indignant Ones.
The scene is set with an impassioned statement by Arthur Edwards explaining why he feels so much depends on financial literacy, associative financial literacy that is.

Sign of our Time follows with a not untypical montage of commentary from Britain’s (left of centre) Observer newspaper concerning the encampment at St Paul’s Cathedral in London.

For the general problem, and for theOccupy Wall Street movement in particular, Kim Chotzen provides an interesting reflection. Not meant as a spiritual version of ‘on yer bike’, but as a considered thought, she asks: What would happen if young people occupied themselves with their destinies, with what they want to do with their lives?

In Archive, attention is drawn to Rudolf Steiner’s challenging idea of aging money - and of young money in particular. Though a red rag to their bull, one wonders if the bond markets (or the human beings in them) might yet take heed of his counsel.

The AEX pages this month are given over to a ‘call for comments’ concerning a project to design ‘youth bonds’, which, by providing capital for young people, could give to the bond markets a new, less-self-centred orientation.

Accounting Corner completes the issue with a reflection on how the mirroring nature of accounting can act as an entrepreneur’s guide, even to the extent of sharing surpluses/deficits.
