Keen on a new currency?
Last night on Tonight with Vincent Browne Steve Keen referred to an email he had received following an interview on Newstalk Lunchtime earlier in the day which outlined what Keen described as “an interesting scheme, which I rather like” - namely, that Ireland issue its own currency on a 1:1 exchange rate with the euro. We tracked down that emailer – Barry Booth – and his ‘Plan for Economic Recovery’, which outlines the details of his 1:1 currency proposal , is embedded below. {jathumbnailoff}
A slightly longer version of this plan is available - email copy.economic.recovery@gmail.com for a copy.
