A provocative Left Forum panel moderated by Next System Project co-chair Gar Alperovitz challenges what most people think they know about money and the monetary system, and opens up new possibilities for how to take bold ideas about refashioning the economy and make them real. Our video and edited transcript of the session features economists Stephanie Kelton of Stony Brook University, Pavlina Tcherneva of Bard College and Michael Hudson of the Institute for the Study of Long-Term Economic Trends, along with attorney and activist Raúl Carrillo of the New Economy Project.

On both sides of the Atlantic, ordinary people are finding ways to push back against the forces of gentrification and displacement. During a panel entitled “The Politics of Land and Housing,” The Democracy Collaborative’s Jarrid Green and Peter Gowan were joined by Laurie Macfarlane, who is based in Edinburgh, Scotland and is co-author of "The Economics of Land and Housing" and editor of openDemocracy. Together, they explained some of the strategies being used to make housing a social good for all rather than a profit center for a few.
