Brett Scott, a campaigner, former broker and a Fellow of the Finance Innovation Lab. Scott is the author of The Heretic’s Guide to Global Finance. Hacking the Future of Money published by Pluto Press (and available on amazon USA and UK.) The book “is a friendly guide to taking on the world’s most powerful system. It sets up a framework to illuminate the financial sector based on anthropology, gonzo exploration, and the hacker ethos, and helps the reader develop a diverse DIY toolbox to undertake their own adventures in guerilla finance and activist entrepreneurialism.”

We’ll talk about the book, the bitcoins, Brixton Pound and other radical approaches to global finance of course but also about Scott’s plan to start a London-based school of financial activism.

The show will be aired this Wednesday 16th of October at 16:00, London time. Early risers can catch the repeat next Tuesday at 6.30 am. If you don’t live in London, you can listen to the online stream or wait till we upload the episodes on soundcloud.
