It’s Our Money with Ellen Brown - That’s An Order

Executive Order 91, just delivered by Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey, has dramatically accelerated the national drive for creating new public banks. Now beginning a year-long project to explore the prospects and resources for a NJ State Bank, the new Public Bank Implementation Board includes both State officials and citizen advocates. Ellen and Walt discuss the mandate of this new order which puts NJ in a leading position among state bank proponents.  Ellen also reports on how public banks can help enable a Green Transition and some of the surprising fiscal efficiencies being discovered by new research. And we also talk with political economist and author Dr. Sean Vanatta about our notion of money and some of the systems that have evolved around its applications.
