Kairos at the Stroud Festival of Commoning: Reviving the Money Commons

Saturday September 13th
11am, Centre for Science and Arts, Stroud

As part of our series of events to crowdsource the drafting of a new Charter of the Commons, we'll be hosting a discussion on the Money Commons at this year's Stroud Festival of Commoning.

Inspired by the 1217 Charter of the Forest, and the social struggle that preceded it, as well as the current surge of interest in the Commons across the world, we’ve been exploring what principles and demands a new Charter might contain.

In this interactive session, co-hosted with Matthew Slater, we’ll discuss what governance structures would be needed to select, legitimate and manage a people-led financial system; what role a new Commons Charter might play in such a radical transformation; and what we can learn from the Chartists of the 1830s, and other social struggles, about how to galvanise a modern movement in response to the many interconnected crises we now face.​
