Ole Bjerg is PhD in Sociology and Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School. His fields of research includes Addiction and Capitalism, Ethics and Postmodernity, Poker and Ideology, Systems and Systems Theory, Methods and Epistemology, Laughter and Existence, Houses and Production. His current research interest revolves around the question: What is money? The assumption is that money is not a given and constant phenomenon. Money changes as the structure of capitalism changes. In his current research he is exploring how the radical transformations of banking and financial markets over the last 30-40 years is related to transformations in the very ontology of money.
At the conference Ole Bjerg will be speaking about debt drive and the compulsion for economic growth, challenging the current quest for perpetual economic growth. His talk will focus on the role of money in the establishment of this growth imperative. How does the creation of money out of debt compel our economies to keep growing even if we have plenty of goods to satisfy our needs? And how can we use monetary reform as a means to break out of this growth imperative?
