Bernard Lietaer is currently a Research Fellow at the
Center for Sustainable
Resources of the University of California at Berkeley. His latest book on
the Future of
Money, about which a free online
conference has coalesced, was published in January 2001 and is now available online. (For a German version, see http://www.futuremoney.de/.)
His professional background afforded him access to five different (and
usually mutally exclusive) hands-on experiences with money systems, listed here
in chronological order:
- For multinational corporations, he developed the first models of
global currency management;
- He has consulted with developing countries on four different
continents about improving hard currency earnings;
- His academic history includes a Professorship of International
Finance at the University of Louvain in Belgium;
- For five years he was head of the Organization and Planning Department at
the Central Bank of Belgium, where he was President of the Electronic
Payment System; and
- Finally, in the speculative domain, he served as general manager
and currency trader of the most successful offshore currency fund.
