Spend an evening with international currency 
expert Bernard Lietaer and award-winning 
journalist Jacqui Dunne as they share their new 
book Rethinking Money, How New Currencies Turn Scarcity Into Prosperity.

Learn about our power as communities to create 
money through exchanges that improve our quality 
of life in tangible ways. Complementary 
Currencies will be presented as a proven 
out-of-the-box solution to the rapidly growing 
international fiscal and economic crises, and as 
a means to create new community liquidity and 
sustainability. Local entrepreneurs Faye Cox and 
Ben Werner will share an opportunity to 
participate in a new Community Forum, whose 
purpose is to design and implement a Monetary 
Ecology in Santa Barbara and beyond. This event 
will be of particular value to locally-minded 
entrepreneurs, non-profit groups, companies, and 
all culturally-creative folks interested in new 
forms of community economic exchange and value creation.

Bernard Lietaer is a former Belgium banker and 
the author of several highly acclaimed books 
including The Future of Money: Beyond Greed & 
Scarcity; and Creating Wealth; Growing Local 
Economies with Local Currencies, and , New Money 
for a New World.  He has been active in the realm 
of money systems in a wide variety of functions 
for almost 40 years, including being one of the 
principle architects of the European 
euro.  Formerly a professor of international 
finance at the University of Louvain, Lietaer was 
a fellow at the Center for Sustainable Resources 
at the University of California, 
Berkeley.  Lietaer co-founded one of the largest 
and most successful currency management firms, 
GaiaCorp.  He is co-founder of ACCESS Foundation, 
an educational non-profit organization whose goal 
is the re-alignment of sustainability and global 
financial interests.  Business Week magazine 
named him "the world's top currency trader" in 1992.

Jacqui Dunne is an award-winning journalist from 
Ireland, founder and CEO of Danu Resource, and an
