#070 Kev and Kent: Banks. Profit Sharks or Public Utility?

Friday, 13 March 2026 - 5:30pm to 6:30pm

We have an economy that uses a monetary system to co-ordinate how we make and acquire stuff. And if you have a monetary system, you need banks. Kev and Kent talk about this role banks have, and how their potential to create an economy that works for everyone is so distorted by the profit motive that it sabotages our collective wellbeing.
