Thomas Greco, Alternative Currency Guru, Slated For IRTA Conference
Ron Whitney, Executive Director of The International Reciprocal
Trade Association (IRTA), has announced that Thomas Greco, noted
economist, author and leader of the alternative and community
currency movement, will attend and participate in IRTA’s upcoming
historic 30th annual conference. The conference will be held October
2 – 4 at the Magnolia Hotel in Dallas Texas.
“Tom was our keynote speaker at the 2006 IRTA Conference and we are
privileged to have his participation in this year’s conference,”
said Whitney. “His perspectives and delivery of views is always a
high point of any conference.
“I'm looking forward to once again meeting and conversing with IRTA
members at the 2009 conference,” Greco affirmed. “As the global
depression and financial meltdown continue, commercial trade
exchange operators will have a crucial role to play in reinventing
the exchange process and reclaiming the credit commons.”
Greco is the author of several books that describe monetary history,
explain key principles, and prescribe specific actions that enable
communities, businesses, and governments to reinvent the exchange
process. His latest offering is titled The End Of Money And The
Future Of Civilization.”
According to IRTA President David Wallach, “Greco’s book is a
chilling, gripping narrative that examines the history and current
condition of our 300-year-old unbalanced and unsustainable monetary
system. He proposes specific changes that when adopted will
transform our money system into a more user-friendly platform of
exchange that will benefit all of the world’s people...a must read
for all.”
