American Monetary Institute

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The American Monetary Institute is a non-profit charitable trust organized in 1996 for the "independent study of monetary history, theory and reform." (see http://www.monetary.org)

Its research results are published in Director Stephen Zarlenga's 736 page book, The Lost Science of Money. (see http://www.monetary.org/lostscienceofmoney.html)

The institute is involved in drafting monetary reform legislation based on the historical case studies examined in Zarlenga's book.

Each year the Institute holds a monetary reform conference at Roosevelt University in Chicago in late September. (for 2007 it's Sept. 27-30). (see http://www.monetary.org/2007%20conference%20announcement.html)

The American Monetary Institute believes that social reforms can be made to "stick" only if accompanied by the necessary monetary system reforms. That means taking control over the monetary system out of private hands and placing it into the US Treasury. It means money issued by government interest free and spent into circulation to promote the general welfare. It means substantial expenditures on infrastructure, including human infrastructure - education and health care, as the preferred method of putting new money into circulation. More details are at the website.

Sincerely, Stephen Zarlenga Director
