Question

  1. The delegates, Will you place on the G20 agenda the proposals by James Robertson (www.jamesrobertson.com) for monetary reform? In short:
    - why don't all  government take over the exclusive power to create new money (by issuing it into society interest-free)?
    - why don't we remove this power from the banks (who currently create new money as debt), and limit their activities to taking deposits and making loans based on those deposits (with strict liquidity ratios)?
    - why not create a new  international currency to replace the current international trade reliance on, and battles with, the U.S. dollar?
