How do we solve some of the most pressing challenges that we are faced with today?

A radical new take on the true nature of currency. We will explore different forms and functions currencies can take, along with the social and economic patterns they encode for.

This course is a workshop for activists, entrepreneurs, inventors, artists, designers, and anyone who wants to profoundly shift the systems around us, however large or small.
