2026 International Monetary Conference

AMI Conference 2026:

Preparing for the Next Collapse

Monetary and Financial Reforms Are Crucial

This year’s 22nd American Monetary Institute Conference builds on last year’s conference. For example, Professor Yamaguchi, the world’s foremost systems dynamics modeler of monetary systems, continues to elaborate on his work as expressed in Public Money. He will answer questions posed in advance about his past work and his work as expressed in his book, Public Money. Professor Yamaguchi’s work in Japan serves as an important model for monetary thinkers elsewhere.

Richard Robbins, Steve Keen, Michael Hudson, Joseph Huber, and Oliver Heydorn will also build upon their previous works, including AMI presentations. Their work can inform us about how the present system is working and suggest new directions.

To create strategies for introducing new people and organizations to monetary reform as well as sharing ideas to build a better monetary system for our own countries, we have: Howard Switzer, Robert Ndubi, Loke Hagberg, Richard Cook, the International Movement for Monetary Reform’s CORE leadership team, and the Alliance For Just Money’s Research and Policy Committee members, all sharing their work.

People, Planet & the Power of Money Project for Beginners

By Nick Egnatz

Inequality continues to widen as the billionaire class ascends while poor and working people struggle simply to exist.

Debt rules daily life — student, medical, housing — and incomes are dwarfed by the cost of basic survival.

As humanity is under an all-out assault by debt, the natural world is under an all-out assault by humanity: carbon accumulates, climate extremes intensify, waters degrade into expanding dead zones, and fossil-fuel plastics saturate ecosystems.

Why Monetary Reform is Essential
to a Viable Human Future

By Dr. David C. Korten

Text of presentation at the 21st Annual monetary Reform conference 2025

We live in a time of profound challenge and opportunity that calls us to align together in support of the essential monetary reform advocated by the American Monetary Institute.  The signs of global human crisis are all around us – a mounting perfect storm of climate disruption, ecological degradation, war, and extreme and ever growing inequality.

The basics are both simple and obvious. Each of these potentially terminal human crises can be traced directly to our deeply dysfunctional financial system that allows private bankers to create and allocate money to grow the fortunes of predatory billionaires in disregard of the consequences for Earth and its people. Many of you here know and understand the details of this system far better than I do. I will not presume in this brief presentation to advance your understanding of these details.
