Towards a 21st Century Banking and Monetary System

Submission to the Independent Commission on Banking (39 Pages)

nef and Positive Money show why systematic reform of the banking and monetary system is urgently needed.

In collaboration with:
Centre for Banking, Finance and Sustainable Development
University of Southampton, School of Management
(Professor Richard A. Werner)

Short insight:
