Monetary Reform documents I mentioned in class

Here's the recent monetary reform act I mentioned in class on Monday which would have nationalized the Money Power in the US banking system HR 6550, which includes an excellent summary of the bill and the history of the struggle over control of the money power, written by Stephen Zarlenga, director of the American Monetary Institute.

And here's the paper by some economists at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) arguing for the same plan: nationalizing money power for purposes of ecological and social sustainability.
