* Course: Money and Society MOOC
URL = http://iflas.blogspot.com/2014/12/money-and-society-mooc.html
A free online course at Masters-level to enable you to understand the past, present and future role of money in society. Ran biannually from 2016-2018, with around 500 alumni.
Description
"Concerned with the banking system? Bemused or fascinated by bitcoin? Starting a local currency? Whereas most courses on money are intended for people with an economics background or banking future, this course is for people who are interested in understanding money from a social innovation perspective – it prepares the ground for answering how to create a better future by reshaping money and currency.
The course is therefore highly interdisciplinary, drawing upon anthropology, sociology, history and heterodox economics. It is designed by Professor Jem Bendell PhD (IFLAS) and Matthew Slater BD (Community Forge), with additional tutoring by Leander Bindewald MA (IFLAS and NEF) and Stephen DeMeulenaere (Coin Academy)."
