Countless politicians have told us “there is no magic money tree”, but as the Bank of England has proven time and again - this simply isn’t true.

In the last six months alone, the Bank’s created £18 billion and used it to bailout giant companies and big polluters, while a decade of quantitative easing has made the rich richer but left little for the rest of us. Imagine what we could do instead.

Join us tomorrow John, for our final autumn webinar: Building Back Better with the Magic Money Tree. Hit the button below to register and hear from our three fantastic speakers.

As Milton Friedman said “Only a crisis produces real change… when that occurs, the actions taken depend on the ideas that are lying around”. Ideas like a green new deal. A 4 day week. Universal Basic Income. A stronger NHS. Our economic recovery from Covid-19 really does give us a rare chance to change everything.

Chaired by our Head of Campaigns and Organising Rachel Oliver, discover from our speakers how we really could #BuildBackBetter:

• Maeve Cohen is co-author of the recent report ‘Towards a Feminist Green New Deal for the UK’ for the Women’s Environmental Network and Women’s Budget Group. She co-founded the Post-Crash Economics Society and is former director of Rethinking Economics. She’s currently a researcher in the Sustainable Consumption Institute and completing an MA in Political Economy at the University of Manchester.
• Chaitanya Kumar is Head of Environment and Green Transition at the New Economics Foundation. Previously Head of Climate and Energy Policy at Green Alliance in the UK and South Asia campaigns leader for 350org in New Delhi. He also holds an MSc in energy policy for the Science Policy Research Unit at Sussex University.
• Danisha Kazi is Positive Money’s Senior Economist. Prior to this she worked as a Senior Teaching Fellow at SOAS lecturing in heterodox economics, with an MA in Development Economics and PhD in Economics for SOAS University.

The zoom webinar link and password will be sent tomorrow morning, and we’ll also be livestreaming the event on Facebook.

Look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
