A Path from Competition to Association
The Colours of Money©
Exploring a Path from Competition to Association
Accompanied by unfair trade, widespread poverty, and burgeoning debt, our competitive way of life is marked by a ceaseless and unhealthy chase after money, which acts more as our master than our servant. Whether locally or globally, can we understand and use money in ways that enable competition to give way to more cooperative ways of doing business?
The Colours of Money © seminar looks at new ways of understanding the history and purpose of money and how it can be the main instrument for bringing about real and lasting change in our economic circumstances. Ranging from the problems of small businesses to larger questions of global finance and the power of corporations, it offers a radical yet concrete approach to money in our times. This seminar provides an opportunity to explore these problems in-depth. Based in part on Rudolf Steiner’s observations about modern economic life, the seminar is presented using coloured chalk imagery on black paper – a technique intended to overcome the reputation of economics as a dismal science! It also serves as an introduction to associative economics.
The seminar will be presented by Christopher Houghton Budd, an economic historian with a doctorate in banking and international finance. He specialises in topics ranging from sustainability to the financial markets and has a special interest in bridging between Rudolf Steiner’s work and current understandings. Based in Canterbury, England, he travels widely as an educator and consultant working with colleagues around the world.
