Yet the debate over money has been dominated by two perspectives: those free-market capitalists who want money to rule everything, and those who want the state to harness money's power. Decolonizing Money presents an anarchist theory of money which sets out strategies for collective liberation beyond state and capital.Drawing on anarchist, abolitionist, and anti-colonial feminist traditions, Julio Linares makes the heretical argument for a grassroots democratic movement to abolish the imperialist US dollar as a necessary step towards the cancellation of debt and establishing a worldwide basic income. Linares shows that money, beyond a store of value and a medium of exchange, is a series of promises a society makes to itself – and he challenges us to make them otherwise.Julio Cèsar Linares is an economic anthropologist and community organizer. At the London School of Economics he was a student and collaborator of the late David Graeber. He serves as Public Outreach for the Basic Income Earth Network.Michael Mezzatesta (known online as Michael Mezz) is a storyteller working at the intersection of economics, climate, and culture. His work reaches tens of millions of viewers each month and is recognized for making complex economic and climate issues accessible to a mainstream audience. He is the founder of Better Future Media, a media brand that builds narratives to challenge extractive systems and steer society toward a more regenerative future. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/pasadena/author-talk-decolonizng-money-by-julio-linares/100001998616272071 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, fine-arts, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Pasadena - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Octavia's Bookshelf - **lat**: 34.1694624 - **long**: -118.121747 - **full address**: Octavia's Bookshelf, 1353 North Hill Avenue, Pasadena, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Author Talk: Decolonizng Money by Julio Linares - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/068af53b1bd47a9090ecebea8045a57e55d2744564aecc849c3c42b7487bbc17-rimg-w1080-h1440-dc983838-gmir.jpg?v=1787735717 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Author Talk: Decolonizng Money by Julio Linares being held? - **A:** Author Talk: Decolonizng Money by Julio Linares takes place on Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Octavia's Bookshelf, 1353 North Hill Avenue, Pasadena, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Author Talk: Decolonizng Money by Julio Linares? - **A:** Author Talk: Decolonizng Money by Julio Linares is organized by Octavia's Bookshelf. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
