Economic expert Mark Pash helps audiences comprehend the current economic situation and demonstrates how to create a quality global economy and community. 

Economics? Who Cares? Hardly anyone understands how the economic-financial world works but we are all subject to its whims. Mark Pash is a Certified Financial Planner and a “Macroeconomic Philosopher” who retired and then created a non-profit to make a better world for his grandchildren and the rest of humanity through the correct macroeconomics philosophy.

In Mark’s view, the current recession was not caused by politics or fiscal policy, and its solution requires reducing the affects of the flaws of capitalism, including: 1) inadequate recirculation 2) failure to create quality customers 3) lack of long-term planning 4) under-diversified monetary system. Mark believes that our economic situation can only get worse without complete monetary reform.

Best-fit Audiences

Everyone who is interested in a quality global economy and community. Political activists, businesses of all kinds, financial institutions, civic groups, entrepreneurs.

Mark prefers at least one-hour talks, which can include question-and-answer period. 2-4 hour workshops and discussion can also be scheduled.

Presentations 

Saving Capitalism
In a free enterprise environment, there is a continual, natural flow of capital to the powerful; the highly educated and already wealthy by various means, both legal and illegal or by shear luck. This natural concentration of wealth continually reduces both the number of businesses and ample individual consumers, eventually hurting commerce and society.

In this talk, Mark first points out the four major flaws of capitalism: 1) Inadequate Recirculation of Money; 2) Failure to Create Quality Customers; 3) Lack of Long-Term Planning; 4) Under-diversified Monetary System.  For each of these shortcomings, Mark presents pathways to future financial success for all – a win-win economy!

Progressive Economics with Monetary Reform

All money is created through debt, but where is it written that this is the only way that we can create money? Nowhere.

In this talk, Mark reviews monetary history, demonstrating that every country has gone through significant monetary crisis.  He points out that in our nation’s last 175 years, the immature and under-diversified monetary system and lack of fiscal spending (recirculation) has created the panics, recession and depressions of 1837, 1857, 1873, 1884,  1893, 1907,  1929, 2008  and our various inflationary periods.
This is because the only way we get needed money into circulation is through the issuance of debt-loans (private & public). This archaic and very narrow banking structure does not fit the needs of a 21st Century computerized, non-scarcity economy.

Mark presents a most evolutionary solution based on a complete monetary reform and a diversification of new money delivery systems.

Financial Inequality and Solutions
There are many reasons why inequality exists in an economy.  For starters, we are NOT created equal!  We have many different talents, abilities and appearances — with unique emotional and physical make-ups.

Secondly, the institution of capitalism-competitive markets has a natural flow of money to the wealthier. (Let’s face it, it’s easier to make money if you already have some.)

In this enlightening talk, Mark offers perceptive solutions at both the government-macroeconomic level and the  private-individual level.

Creating a 21st Century Win-Win Economy

Creating a 21st Century Win-Win EconomyThis book is about political macroeconomics which is the economic discipline that studies the overall condition and behavior of a country’s economy. The size of the macroeconomic pie is unlimited. The age of scarcity is over, because the current capacity and productivity of the private sector can grow and produce all the goods and services that everyone needs as long we use proper resource conservation. We just can’t produce and distribute it properly! I will describe the solutions in U.S. terms, but they apply to the global economy. Let me state this loud and clear: the macroeconomic systems of the world are in need of change! The proper macroeconomic philosophy will free the politicians from fighting about philosophy, and it will allow them to argue and compromise over the specifics of…  Read more

The Truth About Money (Contributor)

The truth about Money ideas will help you or your business succeed. Today, changes are required to help you and the country where critical thinking is necessary to succeed.

The handling of money was given to the Federal Reserve, a private organization, in 1913 by Congress… Read more

Left Turn Only (Contributor)

Left Turn Only: Dispatches From the Progressive UndergroundLeft Turn Only is a history, analysis and how-to manual of the modern Progressive Movement, written by a participant and observer, Brad Parker, with additions from leading Progressive organizers. The book concludes with an in-depth discussion of Progressive Economics. The Internet has upended the top-down paradigm of the past and replaced it with a bottom-up network of individual interactive “swarm” intelligence ~ the Progressives. Crony corporate and political interests are under siege by the Progressives. A struggle for the soul of the Democratic Party and the nation is underway. Left Turn Only is a testament to this struggle.
