John Fullerton The Importance of Ideas
While on a panel with John Fullerton last week at the BALLE conference, Gar Alperovitz offered a powerful thought on the importance of ideas which we subsequently asked him to capture in writing. Here is his response:
John to Speak at Degrowth Conference and BALLE Conference This Week
This week, John Fullerton will be speaking at the Degrowth in the Americas Conference in Montreal and the BALLE Business Conference: Real Prosperity Starts Here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Tuesday, May 15th, morning Keynote from 9 to 10:30 am at the Degrowth conference will be given by John on the topic of “Finance & Degrowth.” John’s panel at the BALLE conference, titled "Real Prosperity: Transformative Visions for Building a New Economy," will be held on Thursday, May 17th, from 1:30 to 3:15 pm.

It's Conference Season!
We’d like to call our Capital Institute community’s attention to four not-to-be missed events upcoming this spring. “Degrowth in the Americas,” to be held in Montreal from May 13 to 19 will focus on what degrowth means for our Hemisphere. BALLE’s “Prosperty Starts Here,” to be held in Grand Rapids from May 15 to 19, is the organization’s annual gathering of local economy entrepreneurs and visionaries. On Earth Day Slow Money NYC will showcase five pioneering food entreprenuers from the lower Hudson Valley of New York in Pocantico Hills, NY. Capital Institute Founder and President John Fullerton will be a speaker at the Degrowth and BALLE conferences. The Public Banking Institute is hosting its inaugural Public Banking Conference in America in Philadelphia April 27 and 28, taking a look at public banking success stories and the hidden costs of our current banking system.
