The Steady State Economy Conference: Working Towards an Alternative to Economic Growth - 19th June 2010 Leeds
The conference is being organised by Economic Justice for All (EJfA) and the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy (CASSE)

What everybody doesn't understand is the basics of money. What is money and where does it really come from? How does the wheel of fortune really work and why don't you have enough of it?
