Jeff Hamilton was born in 1958—the same year that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was created—and grew up on a small farm outside Huntsville, Alabama.

Fifteen miles away was NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, where engines for the Saturn V rocket were being tested. When these tests took place, Hamilton recalled, “The ground would shake, the house would shake, the windows would rattle.

And was it made in the place where it is used, or did local people have to provide goods and services to outsiders to get enough of it to trade among themselves? The Briefing shows that it will be impossible to build a just and sustainable world unless and until money creation is democratized.
