Arthur Edwards Dipl AE

This site gives an overview of my work as an economist working to further an associative perspective on current events.

This work ranges from giving economics courses in schools to research on the nature of money. I am presently undertaking a PhD that looks at the nature of financial literacy and how it could be better taught with the inclusion of accounting - see the outline here.

My work also involves hosting seminars and editing a journal - Associate!. I produce a free monthly update on this work, the AE-Bulletin, that aims to create a focus for Friends of Associative Economics - to receive the bulletin click here.

Understanding money has never been more important than today. Whether it be unfair trade, widespread poverty, burgeoning debt or bank bail-outs, modern life is marked by a ceaseless and unhealthy chase after money, which then acts more as our master than our servant. Whether locally or globally, can we understand and use money in ways that enable competition to give way to more cooperative ways of doing business?

Derived from Rudolf Steiner’s contribution to economic and monetary history, The Colours of Money© seminar looks at the history and purpose of money and how it can be the main instrument for bringing about real and lasting change in our economic circumstances.
