Positive Money
Positive Money is a UK based organisation that campaigns against fractional reserve banking.[1][2][3][4] It was founded by Ben Dyson in 2010. Its proposals are supported by the chief economist at the Financial Times, Martin Wolf.[5][6] The group's proposals were discussed in Parliament[7] and it was instrumental in organising the first debate in Parliament on money creation for 170 years.[8]
Its initiative in the Eurozone is called "quantitative easing for people."[9]
In August 2016, members of the pressure group gathered in front of the Bank of England to protest against quantitative easing.[10][11]
