Dr. Stefan Brunnhuber discussed the system of central banks and argued for a "monetary ecosystem" of multiple currencies. EU scientific advisor and coauthor of "Money & Sustainability", a report to the Club of Rome, Stefan Brunnhuber spells out the catastrophic problems—environmental, socio-economic and financial—that we will continue to experience unless we make radical changes to our monetary ecosystem. He sets out nine practical proposals, which can be implemented now, to run alongside the current system. Brunnhuber's analysis is essential for policy makers, economists, and anyone concerned about the future of the planet. Stefan Brunnhuber is Chief Medical Officer of a regional academic hospital in Saxony, Germany and Vice-Chairman of the European Institute of Medicine. He is a scientific advisor to the EU Commission and provides regional political counseling on healthcare issues.
