UsuryFree Day
Toronto's Third Annual UsuryFree Week is Tuesday, November 13th, 2007 and ends on Monday, November 19th, 2007.
Key Note Speaker:
The UsuryFree Network is honoured that Peter Jon Simpson from Atwater, Minnesota is their key note guest speaker. Tom Kennedy had the honour of connecting with Peter Jon Simpson in the mid-1980's when he was researching 'usury.' In the mid-1980's Peter authored 2 books: 'Avoid Bank Holidays' and 'Life Without Usury'. As well during the 1980's Peter created some noteworthy audio cassettes on issues related to money and banking. In summary, Peter Jon Simpson has been one of Tom's pioneering mentors whose research has helped him understand just how the design flaw of usury is the evil function on our orthodox money system that is directly and/or indirectly responsible for violence, wars, poverty, scarcity and lack.
In an email to Tom, Peter wrote: "I'll be covering the various implications of Usury/Interest when I speak to you folks on November 13th, in Canada. Thinkers going back to Aristotle condemned it, for it creates a contract that is mathematically impossible to fulfill in the real world."
Topics to be addressed will be selected from this list:
(a) why celebrate UsuryFree Day & UsuryFree Week
(b) comparing usury-based orthodox economics and innovative usuryfree economics
(c) creating and spending our own usuryfree community currencies
(d) unique strategies to evade usury and avoid taxes
(e) the awakening in rural and urban Ontario
(f) private member-supported organizations, clubs and networks.
